Microplastic Analysis via Infrared Spectroscopy
What are
armful?
Microplastics are classified as minute pieces of plastic that measure less than five millimeters across. Plastics that measure under 100 nm are regarded as nanoplastics.

Microplastics can be produced when plastic has been disposed of improperly and deteriorates into fine pieces. Another example are the microbeads found in personal care and cosmetic products.
Microplastics particles (MPPs), which typically degrade slowly, have been found in soil, the ocean, our drinking water, and other waterways and now pose a serious ecological and health risk.

While the evidence shows that humans and other species can ingest microplastic particles, the full effects of microplastics are still unknown.

A tunable laser is the type of laser whose wavelength of operation can be altered in a controlled manner. The growing adoption of optical technologies for the mass production of consumer electronics parts is the major factor that driving the growth of the tunable laser market. Extensive application of tunable lasers in the healthcare sector including therapeutic and diagnostic applications is boosting the growth of the market. The increasing adoption of diode-based tunable laser in the various industries directly impacts on the growth of the tunable laser market.
The research dives deep into the global share, size, and trends, as well as growth rate of the Tunable Lasers market to project its progress during the forecast period, i.e., 2021–2027. Most importantly, the report further identifies the past, present, and future trends that are expected to influence the development rate of the Tunable Lasers market. The research segments the market on the basis

Congratulations to the 118 members of the 2021 class of OSA Fellow Members, who will be recognized at OSA conferences throughout the year for scientific, engineering and technological contributions, as well as industry leadership and service to OSA and the global optics community.
The 2021 class of Fellows reflects the diverse and inclusive community that OSA serves. A record 261 nominations were received, making this program very competitive as no more than 10% of OSA’s total membership may be elected as Fellows. For more information, contact the OSA Awards Office (awards@osa.org; +1 202.416.1960) or go to www.osa.org/fellows.. Nominations for 2022 Fellows are due by 15 June 2022.
