When we see a CO 2 laser cutter build around these parts, chances are pretty good that the focus will be on the mechatronics end, and that the actual laser will be purchased. So when we see a laser ...

The initiative, called ICONIC-FL (International Cooperation on Next-gen Inertial Confinement Fusion Lasers), aims to target ...

Lasers are a fundamental technology of today’s society, but this amplified light still suffers from shortcomings—extreme temperatures, long distances, or even just fog. Researchers from the Washington ...

If you look closely at the rear deck of the JS Asuka, you’ll spot something new. That innocent-looking dome looks like a GPS ...

Conventional lasers produce a coherent wave of light, meaning all of the light vibrates in a synchronized fashion. As described by the wave-particle duality from quantum mechanics, the behavior of ...

For many years, semiconductor lasers, tiny chips emitting light, have been the workhorse of the optical communications industry, sending data signals around the world via a web of optical fibres.

A nanophotonic mode-locked laser built on lithium niobate emits a beam of green laser light. Lasers have become relatively commonplace in everyday life, but they have many uses outside of providing ...

How did the idea for this study come about? We started more than a year ago, just before the 50th anniversary of the original demonstration of the laser. People have made many advances with lasers, ...

In the battle against avian flu, an NTT East Inc. affiliate has developed a drone that emits laser beams that can scare away disease-ridden wild birds from poultry houses.
