• Record-Breaking: Tiny Nanolasers for Ultracompact Chips Developed at ITMO

  Physicists at ITMO University have broken their own record for the world’s smallest nanolaser: they were able to decrease the nanoparticle’s size from 310 nanometers to 200 (which is 5,000 times smaller than a millimeter!). The new laser functions at room temperature, while the green light it radiates can be seen through a standard optical microscope. The solution can be applied in the development of fine parts for digital microdevices and wellness trackers, as well as in VR headsets: there, the nanolaser will be able to improve the quality of color rendering.

• High Speed Video Recording Precisely Measures Blood Cell Velocity

  Scientists from ITMO University created a high-speed video capillaroscopy system that enables direct measurement of red blood cell velocity. Coupled with sophisticated software, the system can raise the accuracy of vascular condition assessment. Such a system can come in useful for monitoring how efficient certain therapies are. The results of the research were published in Optics and Engineering.
