Metaoptics, OCT, and the Future of Lung Biopsies with Reza Khorasani - Ep 18 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During a lung biopsy, physicians must navigate a needle to a suspected lesion deep within the body, often with limited visibility of the tissue directly in front of the needle tip. What if they could see exactly where they were before taking the sample? In this episode of Rays and Waves, Daniel and Steven sit down with Reza Khorasani, Founder and CEO of LEADOPTIK. During his postdoctoral work in Federico Capasso's group at Harvard, Reza helped pioneer metaoptics and metalenses through several in
Interferometry for Precision Metrology with Zygo’s Xavier Colonna de Lega - Ep 17 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While massive interferometers orbit the earth or span kilometers to detect gravitational waves, the real workhorses of optical metrology live quietly on the benches of optical labs and manufacturing floors worldwide. These instruments are not measuring black hole mergers, but they are the reason the high-performance optics inside our semiconductors, aerospace systems, and consumer electronics actually work. In this episode of Rays and Waves, Daniel and Steven sit down with Xavier Colonna De Lega
