From the SPIE Newsroom

A selection of current articles from SPIE's online technical and news magazine.

Building radial junction thin-film solar cells on silicon nanowires

Mature silicon thin-film deposition techniques combined with advanced radial junction designs could yield a new generation of photovoltaics that compete on cost with national power grid infrastructures. 10 May 2012

Surface emitting semiconductor lasers produce flexible femtosecond pulse trains

Femtosecond-pulse surface-emitting semiconductor lasers with agile repetition frequencies have the potential to be used as flexible frequency comb sources and in resonant excitation spectroscopy. 10 May 2012

Read another article by Keith G. Wilcox: A wavelength tunable 2-ps pulse VECSEL.


Announcements

  • SPIE Letters is a compilation of brief articles (letters) from SPIE journals that report on significant research of wide interest. Since 2005 SPIE has collected all such articles into this virtual journal so that researchers can browse across topics easily. SPIE considers these articles to be particularly important so they are freely available to all readers from the time of publication. Authors have the benefit of open access for their letters at no charge. Set up an email alert for SPIE Letters so you can learn about and read new letters as they are published.

  • The SPIE Digital Library has surpassed 330,000 technical papers and 161 eBooks. Approximately 18,000 new papers and 15 to 20 new eBooks are planned for 2012.

  • Videos of Photonics West 2012 plenary presentations are now available on spie.tv.
