Solar flares are violent storms on the Sun's surface which can eject particles and emit radiation toward Earth, affecting radio communication. Flares are generally correlated with the solar activity cycle and will become more common as the Sun approaches solar maximum in 2000.

Inouye Solar Telescope

Meadowlark Optics The National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), located on the island of Maui, Hawaii, stands as the largest solar telescope globally. It’s dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the Sun’s explosive phenomena, with a primary focus on observing magnetic fields. Recently Meadowlark built an optic called Andre as well as

Video: Meadowlark Spatial Light Modulators at Quantum 2.0 2023

Geometric-phase microscopy (GPM) uses changes in the phase of light passing through biological specimens to yield high-resolution and high-contrast images, instead of relying on the attenuation of light used conventionally. Polarization optics and a spatial light modulator generate spatially variant polarization states of light that interact with the sample, creating a relative phase shift between transmitted and reflected light waves. By analyzing the phase information, GPM can reveal details not visible with other microscopy techniques. GPM is an effective non-invasive tool for live cell and tissue studies, with potential to enhance biological systems knowledge.
