In 2011, more Danes became infected with MRSA bacteria, and the number was the highest in over 25 years. The increase was primarily seen in otherwise healthy people without any hospital relation. Although the number of MRSA positive pig herds is on a par with the level seen in 2010, significantly more pigs at slaughter were found to be infected with the so-called pig MRSA, and the number of people infected with pig MRSA is increasing. This appears from the Danish surveillance report, DANMAP, for 2011.
Researchers at DTU Fotonik have found a way to improve the images generated by terahertz cameras. They propose to use structured graphene which allows for tuning the so-called hyperlens, i.e. to focus on demand.

This year is the 50th anniversary of nonlinear optics, which started with the first experimental observation of second-harmonic generation by Franken et al. in 1961. In the focus issue of Optics Express on Nonlinear Optics we show that second-harmonic generation can be used as a novel and surprisingly efficient method for generating energetic few-cycle mid-infrared pulses. Such pulses are attractive for investigating ultrafast vibrations of chemical bonds. A current obstacle is that today’s ultrafast laser technology is almost exclusively located in the near-infrared regime, and while parametric amplification is standard it always comes at a price of generating pulses with multi-cycle duration.
In continuation of Gorm Petersen’s grant, DTU has established a new award honoring young researchers who have made an extraordinary effort and who have great potential for further development. DTU Fotonik's Antonio Caballero is one such young researcher.

In a new research project researchers aim to find more efficient methods for generating extremely short femtosecond laser pulses in the important visible and near-infrared regimes. These pulses can today only be generated in research laboratories with bulky, fickle state-of-the-art lasers operating complex setups. A simpler and more efficient method is needed in order for these pulses to be used in the industry and for medical purposes. Of possible applications are ultra-fast spectroscopy of molecular vibrations and non-invasive surgery on living cells.
