Photonics West 2021: OCT makes further biomedical breakthroughs
17 Mar 2021
Michael Kaschke outlines the factors driving OCT s continued translation from bench to bedside.
So commented Michael Kaschke, former Chairman of Zeiss for a decade and as of November 2019 Chairman of the KIT Supervisory Board, when he addressed the SPIE Photonics West Digital Forum on the topic of OCT s past success and likely future applications. At the World Ophthalmology Congress in 2009 I was asked what technologies I believed would play a key role in the following decade, said Kaschke. I said that ubiquitous use of OCT was one, along with multifocal lenses, femtosecond lasers in surgery, drug treatment for glaucoma and AMD, and development of accommodating lenses. Judgment on the last one is still out, but the other four predictions all came true.

Photonics West 2021: Making sense of sensors for self-drive

Development lab at Lyft Level 5 in Sunnyvale, California.The autonomous vehicle (AV) industry â at companies like Lyft, Waymo and Argo â is not actually looking for a super-sensor. Leading experts from these companies agreed in a Photonics West Digital Forum panel on Thursday that the key is how an autoâs many cameras, lidar and radar systems can cooperate to fill in each otherâs blind spots.
Whatâs vital, said Michel Laverne, of Argo AI, is âfusing together their distinct views of the worldâ to move to at least Level 4 â known as high driving automation (mostly with no human intervention). Little was said about the futuristic Level 5, smart cars potentially without even steering wheels
