Example setup of the UCF ultrafast laser system to produce high-energy laser pulses centered around the short to mid-infrared wavelength region (2.4 μm).

New Methods for Generating High-Energy, Broadband Mid-Infrared Laser Pulses

33905 – Invention Simplifies Laser Architecture to Generate Millijoule-Level Output at 2.4 Micrometers (μm) UCF researchers have invented a technique for creating broadband, high-energy laser pulses centered around the short- to mid-infrared region (2.4 μm). The technique, which can be applied to existing laser systems, simplifies laser architectures by requiring fewer gain passes to achieve... Read More

Novel Compounds to Treat Malaria May Also Alleviate Parasite Drug Resistance

32882 – New Marine-Based Compounds and Aurora Kinase Inhibitors May Effectively Combat Malaria UCF researchers have identified new compounds that may treat malaria infections more effectively than current anti-malarial drugs.  The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has developed resistance to most anti-malarial treatments, including chloroquine and artemisinin. Since the UCF anti-malarial... Read More

New LIDAR Receiver Architecture Boosts Signal Quality at Lower Cost

33950 – Few-Mode Preamplified Receiver Design Improves LIDAR Performance in Autonomous Vehicles UCF researchers have developed an innovation in remote sensing technology that may help speed the large-scale deployment of LIDAR (light detection and ranging) in autonomous vehicles. With its novel few-mode (FM) preamplified receiver architecture, the new UCF LIDAR system has demonstrated a... Read More

Results of an experiment using a set of nodes in a wireless mesh network with DSM and a conventional routing approach (without DSM). As the red graph line of the non-DSM approach shows, an increase in the demand for a video increases lag time and makes the video essentially unwatchable.

Low-Cost Data Merging Technique Significantly Reduces Internet Video Traffic

33560 – Unique method enables Tier 1 internet service providers (ISPs) and large content providers to conserve network resources while distributing streaming content on demand without crashes, interruption or delays A UCF researcher has developed a distributed video routing method that can streamline a network’s internet traffic, even during times of unexpected high demand for data. Unlike current... Read More
