From repairing damaged retinas in the human eye to burning precision holes in industrial diamonds, the list of uses for laser light has grown steadily since the fierce, pure beams were first projected ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

A device smaller than a grain of dust may help unlock the kind of quantum computers people have only dreamed about. Built on ...

- Development of the world's first practical surface-emitting laser suitable for optical fiber communications systems. - Utilization of quantum dots as an optical gain medium, enabled by NICT's ...

The remarkable potential of lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) nurtures many a heady scientific dream. Pure, one-color laser light can be focused down to a microscopic ...

Hisense is betting that the next big thing in living‑room screens will not hang on a wall at all, but sit a few inches from ...

Quantum dots with precise crystal growth and advanced processing enable compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective light sources for optical fiber communications. (Nanowerk News) The National ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...
