Achieving optimal diagnostic and therapeutic results in endoscopic procedures is highly dependent on image quality. Improved visualisation in endoscopy has been achieved using 4-LED Multi Light Technology. This new high performance illumination system ensures that the quality of imaging meets the highest standards in brightness and constrast with White Light and the new observation modes BLI (Blue Light Imaging) and LCI (Linked Color Imaging). With the involvement of numerous clinical experts, t...

Nanoplasmonics deal with creating ultra-compact components for nanoscale photonic devices to match their electronic counterparts. Focusing on control and manipulation of plasmons at nanometre dimensions, nanoplasmonics combines the strength of electronics and photonics and is predicted to replace existing integrated circuits and photonic devices. It is one of the fastest growing fields of science, with applications in telecommunication, consumer electronics, data storage, medical diagnostics, an...

People need privacy in places like home or some offices. The current privacy technology allows one-way view only when the private side is darker than public side, which is not applicable at night time or for spaces inside a building. This is especially important for highly urbanized and crowded cosmopolitan cities, like Singapore. This technology presents a new window design based on synchronously controlling LEDs and a switchable glass to achieve one-way vision. This new privacy window can pro...

Laser scribing has many advantages over mechanical scribing including higher throughput and yield, lower maintenance cost and smaller scribe width. In particular, UV laser, as compared to IR or green, is a better laser source due to its higher energy absorption by most semiconductor materials, leading to a more effective material removal rate. Its natural high photon energy also offers ‘cold’ material processing: the smaller heat-affected-zone (HAZ) material interaction produces little thermal d...

A fibre optic coupler is a fiberized component used as an essential building block to a fibre-based optical system such as fibre laser, fibre resonator, fibre interferometer,  and fibre communication network. A conventional fibre coupler is composed of two solid fibres thermally fused side by side. Hence, its performance is limited by the solid core.  The technology offer is based on an air core fibre, a new type of fibre coupler which is not bounded by material limitations. It can be used in m...

A system and methodology for measuring the transmittance over a large field of view based on a tunable light source (UV-RGB-IR) and color or monochrome imaging are provided. The system includes tunable LEDs with a range of central wavelengths enabling any value in the CIE color space and beyond to be displayed. The images are captured using a monochrome or color camera operating in the Bayer or monochrome modes. Depending on the number of colors displayed, the transmittance map for the entire sp...

The present invention describes the use of multi-wavelength laser array (MLA) to construct a low-cost tunable semiconductor laser. The MLA utilized a proprietary technique named as reconstruction-equivalent chirp (REC), which was firstly proposed by the inventor of this project. The high performance of MLAs can be achieved with the use of REC technique instead of electron beam lithography (EBL), which is an expensive fabrication method. The chip fabrication process can thus be simplified and the...

The application of fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors in the field of structural health monitoring is on the rise. However, its growth in the sensor market is limited because of its bulky, costly and wired wavelength interrogation system. A novel, wireless FBG sensor module is proposed and showcased. In this technology, the intensity instead of the wavelength of the FBG signal is interrogated. This module consists of a low-cost LED and a photodiode. This module is coupled with electronic circuits...
