Christiaan Huygens used improved telescopes to study Saturn and discover Titan, then introduced the wave theory of light in 1690, a principle that still guides modern #optics and #photonics and inspired the Cassini-Huygens mission.🔭🛰️ Learn about his legacy in #PhotonicsFocus: https://bit.ly/4bYbqOS

I served as the committee secretary at a PhD viva yesterday. The candidate works ar a Polish IR detector company VIGO Photonics, vigophotonics.com
The viva went well but it was also stunning to learn that apart from their detectors being on the Mars Rover (martian soil spectrometer), they also installed their devices in CO2 monitoring system of #artemisii craft! Stunning! A 🇵🇱 company just outside of Warsaw. 😎

Yesterday at #SPIEPhotonicsEurope, we were pleased to recognize Dan Curticapean, the 2025 SPIE María J. Yzuel Educator Award recipient. 👏 Dan received this award for a lifelong dedication to teaching #optics and #photonics with infectious passion, as well as his support of the SPIE community.

Photonics is revolutionizing AI infrastructure: Optical interconnects are reaching cost parity with copper while offering superior bandwidth. $NVDA's $4B investment in suppliers like Lumentum signals the shift. Our analysis explores how this reshapes value chains for $AVGO and others. https://post.kapualabs.com/2p8aymja #AIInfrastructure #Photonics #Semiconductors #OpticalInterconnect
