Researchers at the University of Sydney have cracked a long-standing problem in microchip-scale lasers by carving tiny "speed ...

WiFi is embedded in our lives today. The term originated about four decades ago (as a marketing ploy, designed to rhyme with the term “Hi-Fi”) and has revolutionized personal communications, internet ...

Researchers in the US and Japan have devised a simple way generate a nearly parallel beam of light from a semiconductor laser — without the need for bulky and expensive lenses. Instead, a patterned ...

Authorised distributor Mouser Electronics is now shipping the new PLPM7 Vegalas power multi-die edge-emitting laser from ams ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a new approach to applying thermodynamics to microscopic quantum ...

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 ...

Incandescent bulbs have given way to CFL and LEDs, but these lighting technologies may be destined for extinction as well. A team of scientists at Arizona State University have developed a laser that ...

Lasers are known for the monochromatic nature of their light, so much so that you might never have thought there could be such a thing as a white laser. But in the weird world of physics, a lot of ...

Scientists have developed a new platform for the generation and detection of ultrashort UV-C laser pulses on femtosecond ...
