OSC Colloquium: Travis Sawyer, "Title: Identifying the Spectral Fingerprint of Disease..." Oct. 28, 2021 Travis Sawyer Our efforts include developing advanced imaging instrumentation, conducting optical characterization of cancerous tissues, and implementing cutting-edge algorithms for automatic tissue classification. Ultimately, these technologies could enable sustainable, minimally-invasive screening of cancer, leading to improved patient outcomes in a wide range of disease treatment scenarios. Read more OSC Colloquium: Shambhu Ghimire, "High-harmonic Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials" Oct. 14, 2021 Shambhu Ghimire In this talk, I will give a brief overview of this emerging field and present our latest results in atomically thin two-dimensional crystals [4] and three-dimensional topological insulators [5]. Read more OSC Colloquium: Douglas Shepherd, "Scalable, high-speed, 3D imaging of molecular biology in action" Oct. 14, 2021 Douglas Shepherd I will discuss our recent efforts to reduce uncertainty in quantitative molecular imaging through improvements to the optical methods and computational tools used for high-speed, high-resolution, multiplexed, and volumetric fluorescence molecular imaging. Our efforts include a high numerical aperture oblique plane microscopy framework for 3D spatial transcriptomics in human tissue and a digital micromirror-based structured illumination microscopy framework for live-cell, sub-diffraction limited imaging. Read more OSC Colloquium: Matthieu Bloch, "Towards Covert and Secret Quantum Networks" Oct. 14, 2021 Matthieu Bloch We will discuss the possibility of deploying quantum key distribution that are also covert, in the sense of being provably undetectable by an adversary. While covert key generation over quantum channels is not possible under the same assumptions than QKD, we will show that, perhaps surprisingly, covert secret key generation is possible under mild assumptions regarding the quantum channels. Read more OSC Colloquium: Ron Driggers, "Advanced Infrared Systems" Sept. 23, 2021 Ron Driggers Dr. Driggers will present several topics related to advanced infrared imaging systems. He will start with a general discussion about dual band infrared systems (third generation FLIR). Also included are small pitch, high density focal plane systems that eliminate the need for switched optics. Other topics are strap-down pilotage, full spectrum target acquisition, high energy laser target acquisition, drone sensors and drone detection, and advanced uncooled infrared sensors.
