Modular Sea Vertical Farm (S-Vertical Farm) for Land Crops Cultivation and Modular Combined Above-Sea and Under-Sea Vertical Farm (AS/US-Vertical Farm) for Land Crops and Seaweeds Cultivation
Invention:
University of Arizona researchers have developed a Modular Sea Vertical Farm (S-Vertical Farm) designed to decouple crop production from land use or land-use conversion to agriculture by using the sea surface as the area for vertical crop production.
Background:
The S-Vertical Farm module is designed with flexibility to have either a fully...

The BORING (BurrOwing & Regenerative IN-Ground) Vertical Farm for the Moon, Mars and Beyond
This technology is a vertical farm designed specifically for the controlled- environment crop and food production function of a bioregenerative space life support system. It would enable long-duration crewed missions on the Moon, Mars and beyond while mitigating the impacts of extreme extraterrestrial environments.
Background:
Vertical farming is...

Distributed Feedback Fiber Laser Pumped by Multimode Diode Lasers
Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences and Canada's Carleton University recently succeeded in fabricating high reflectivity (>99%) Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) into phosphate glass fibers using UV light and a phase mask technique. With this new manufacturing technique, fiber lasers can be created as single monolithic...

All-Fiber Multicore Fiber Laser Devices
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a compact, power-scalable, alignment-free fiber laser that takes a new approach to stabilizing phase-locked operation of multi-core fiber lasers by completely removing all free space optical components. This high-brightness, all-fiber laser package uses passive optical fiber spliced at both ends...
