In this featured article from Optics Express, researchers reveal a new superconducting nanowire single-photon detector that acts as a very sensitive eye for seeing an object hidden around a corner. This detector outperforms other single-photon detectors in terms of detection efficiency in the near and mid-infrared spectral ranges, making it possible to perform non-line-of-sight imaging at longer wavelengths. |

In the November Optica blog, discover how Raymond C. Rumpf, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), traveled to Kaunas, Lithuania as part of Optica’s Traveling Lecturer program. Optica’s Student Chapter at the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) invited Rumpf to visit and share his expertise with students and faculty. |

Enrique Galvez's favorite part of the research process is to “figure out a problem and confirm it in the laboratory.” He continues, “it is a give and take because we are always wrong and nature is always right. We just have to figure out the mechanism.” |
