Recent Technologies

ThingStore™: A New Platform and Marketplace for Internet of Things Applications

33413 – A recent study by business consultancy firm Gartner stated that 26 billion internet-connected “things” (e.g., online cameras, sensors, fitness devices such as Fitbit) are expected by 2020. While cloud computing has been a worthwhile solution for processing and analyzing large volumes of data, the Internet of Things (IoT) provides a different kind of “big” data. Cloud computing works well as... Read More

Schematic of preferred embodiment of tunable within 1-5 µm wavelength

Lasing Method with Rapid, Non-Mechanical Wavelength Tuning in the Mid-IR

32934 – UCF researchers have developed a tunable laser with broadband coherent output spectrum within the mid-infrared (IR) range using a chirped quasi phase-matched optical parametric amplifier/difference frequency generator (CQPM OPA/DFG)-based design. Comparatively, currently available laser sources do not possess the unique combination of the following desired attributes: high average power,... Read More

Active and Passive Optical Imaging System to Reduce Storage and Compression Time

32122 – Compressed sensing, which is often based on random measurement bases, is a useful technique that samples and significantly compresses a signal at a much faster rate. However, currently available methods have two key challenges; when used in practical systems, such as computed tomography, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), random measurement is incompatible...

Paper-Based Ion-Selective Electrodes with Improved Sensitivity and Reproducibility

33425 – Ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) are highly important for ion detection. Paper-based ISEs are a simple, low cost, and disposable alternative to conventional solid-contact ISEs. However, widespread use of paper-based ISEs has been limited due to poor detection limits (in the micromolar range), reliability, and selectivity. UCF researchers have developed novel ultra-sensitive paper-based ISEs... Read More

Cut-back measurements of propagation loss of fabricated T-guides.

Innovative Integrated Photonics Platform for Compact Photonic Devices

33394 – There is a growing interest in integrated photonics systems that can operate over octave-spanning or multi-octave spectral windows, but such structures have operating requirements that bar them from achieving high performance while preserving all the desired features: low propagation losses, tight optical confinement, and accurate control over dimensional characteristics. To resolve these... Read More

Rapid, Cost-Effective Test for Mycobacteria

33286 – UCF researchers have discovered a rapid, cost-effective method to test samples for mycobacterial infection. This measurement can be obtained by assaying a biological sample from the subject, providing a more cost effective, less labor intensive testing process. Once a mycobacterium is identified, this method can be further used to monitor the infection after treatment with an antibiotic. ... Read More

Strong Ultralight Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube Aerogel

32097 – Fabrication method for mechanically strong, ultralight, multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) aerogel. UCF researchers developed a mechanically strong aerogel structure which offers numerous applications such as in chemical sensors, catalyst supports and novel electrodes. Among various carbon nanotube (CNT) materials, CNT aerogels represent a new material that integrates the merits of... Read More

New High Power Laser Medium Index Matching Reduces Parasitic Lasing in Cryogenic Environments

33261 – A common problem in large-aperture, high-power, solid state amplifiers is parasitic, or transverse, lasing. When this phenomenon occurs, the energy stored in the amplifier quickly drains, effectively clamping the gain accessible to the intended longitudinal amplification process. Currently available methods for reducing parasitic lasing involve the use of absorbing thin films, optical... Read More

Precise, Efficient Microparticle and Nanoparticle Fabrication

33148 – In the production of microparticles and nanoparticles, currently available methods utilize two types of approaches. Bottom-up approaches involve processes such as nucleation, chemical reactions, or self-assembly processes, and although the resulting particles vary in shape and size, the particles either cluster together or coalesce into one mass. Top-down approaches use methods such as... Read More

New Type of Multicore Optical Fiber for Sensing Applications

33184 – Researchers from the University of Central Florida have created a new class of fiber optic sensors based on multicore optical fibers for use in harsh environment sensing. This multicore fiber sensor is simple, inexpensive, durable, sensitive, and fabricated in high volume. Additionally, this innovation allows multiple sensors to be multiplexed in series along a single fiber. Currently... Read More
