Graphene Photonics For many years the black electrically-conductive graphite was considered as the material which is useless for photonics. Over the recent years the opinion about this material has been drastically changed. It was found that when decreasing size and transiting to two-dimensional graphite (graphene) or one-dimensional graphite (single-wall carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons) new unique properties appear.

Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser Technologies Laboratory Complex Demonstrator The laboratory complex–demonstrator of Chemical oxygen-iodine laser technologies, developed at the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (Taiwan) request has been successfully put into operation at the customer’s test-site. In just under a year one of the most technically sophisticated laser systems was designed, built and all the required technical parameters confirmed. For the first time the authors demonstrated the full cycle of operation of this laser type from preparation of the active medium to powerful radiation input in the optical fiber and transmission over long distances with high efficiency and utilization of a laser active medium using cryosorption pump with different sorbents.

Lasers Enhancing Optogenetic Investigations Light can have control light sensitive neurons with a very high time and volumetric accuracy corresponding to normal brain information processing. The choice of a laser source for optogenetics is a fairly delicate question. What laser parameters should have special attention is discussed.

One of the days of the exhibition Laser Word of Photonics – 2015 its sponsors presented the public a show Additive manufacturing for production miracle and not only. The show displayed the new exposition pattern associated with explosive laser technology implementation and additive manufacturing introduction into production of lightweight structures, prosthetic repair, complicated mechanical blocks. We had talks with some exhibition participants and visitors. Their reports about new products, observed material processing technology trends, new companies, business development opinions we are publishing in the round table material.
