Michael Vasilyev, a UT Arlington electrical engineering assistant professor, has received a $225,000 contract from the Harris Corp. to investigate using quantum properties of light to enhance optical remote sensors.

At first it looked like this headline said the researchers were developing "seniors," which would also be pretty sweet.

“This research will allow future laser-enabled cameras to see remote objects more clearly and use much smaller amounts of light than today,” Dr. Vasilyev said.

Other participants in the project are the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, and BBN Technologies, a Cambridge, Mass. research and development firm.

Dr. Vasilyev’s group will analyze and design a quantum image enhancer for the recovery of the information lost by both the reduction of high spatial frequencies of the image and inefficiency of the detector array.

Yes.
