    Drake’s legacy, old clams, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#38)

    This week we have an impressive application of fiber optics sensors, the story of Frank Drake, a cool interview with Martin Rees, more stories on the development and implications of AI, and some troublesome news about twitch. Let’s start: Whales, turtles, and an old clam A couple cool articles and a sad curiosity this week.…

  • Compressive optical imaging with a photonic lantern

    New single-pixel camera design, but this time using multicore fibers (MCF) and a photonic lantern instead of a spatial light modulator. Cool! The fundamental idea is to excite one of the cores of a MCF. Then, light propagates through the fiber, which has a photonic lantern at the tip that generates a random-like light pattern at its tip. Exciting different cores…
