About All Things Photonics
From space exploration and quantum optics, to biomedical imaging and defense, today’s top scientific minds are using lasers, spectroscopy, sensors, and optics to deliver cutting-edge innovation to our society. In intimate conversations with those pushing the boundaries of human knowledge, “All Things Photonics” spotlights photonics industry progress from beyond the lab. Hear how 3D printed microscopes — and those developed for a fraction of the cost — offer our best hope for diagnosing disease in the developing world; why spectroscopy might be the most valuable tool in the crime scene technicians’ arsenal; how light can motorize drug delivery; and how the quantum cascade laser, CMOS image sensor, and robot-assisted surgery became realities. Notable guests include Nobel Prize winner Donna Strickland; Columbia University Eugene Higgins Professor of Electrical Engineering Michal Lipson; inventor of the CMOS image sensor Eric Fossum; serial entrepreneur Jason Eichenholz; co-namesake of the Hockney Falco Thesis Charles Falco; and SPIE President and founder of the Vanderbilt Biophotonics Center Anita Mahadevan-Jansen. “All Things Photonics”® is produced by Photonics Media and airs biweekly, on Tuesdays. The podcast was a shortlisted finalist in two categories — Best Science & Medical Podcast and Best Technology Podcast — for The Publishers Podcast Awards in 2021. It has again earned shortlist honors in the Best Science and Medical Podcast category for 2022. Contact us at Allthings@photonics.com.

Sophisticated SPAD Sensors Eying More Practical Applications – With Sebastian Bauer
Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Like you have sometimes cameras that are good in low light and high speed, for example, but then the dynamic range is super limited. Meaning when you all of a sudden have a bright flash going into the camera, flash can be like some ambient lighting. It can be shiny part, which reflects directly into your camera. And then your camera is completely white. That's obviously not very good for your machine vision application. Yeah. If you carefully prepare the environment such that they are adapted to your camera, everything looks great. But if you kind of leave that realm, then that's a problem. We were at IMTS three weeks ago, and setting up robots, manufacturing robots, took people apparently days because the lighting conditions simply weren't the way that they had in their labs. […]
