Light–Matter Interactions

  • Spotlight Summary by Nick Parziale

    • High-repetition-rate krypton tagging velocimetry in Mach-6 hypersonic flows
    • Understanding the hypersonic flow physics around a high-speed vehicle informs its design: vehicle performance (lift and drag), thermal protection, controls, and structural design. A long run of over 50 years of research...

  • Spotlight Summary by Johann Toudert

    • Infrared-blocking plasmonic meta-glass for energy-saving passive windows
    • To save energy in an increasingly warm world, building and vehicle windows must do more than let the sunlight in. They must selectively transmit or reflect it depending on wavelength across the solar spectrum....

Optics in Biology and Medicine

  • Spotlight Summary by Ugo Tricoli

    • Speckle-resolved optical coherence tomography for mesoscopic imaging within scattering media
    • Speckle-resolved optical coherence tomography (srOCT) is a new and very attractive imaging method that intends to fill the gap between deep imaging with low resolution, as in diffuse optical tomography, and traditional...

Vision and Color

  • Spotlight Summary by Shiwen Li

    • Color vision deficiencies and camouflage: a comparative study between normal and CVD observers
    • Would it be better to be color vision deficient (CVD) or trichromatic when it comes to finding camouflaged objects? CVD is frequently seen as an impairment, but the prevalence of CVD in the human population leads us to...
