In Tenerife, Spain, stands a unique duo: ESA's Izaña-1 and Izaña-2 laser-ranging stations. Together, they form an optical technology testbed of the European Space Agency that takes the monitoring of space debris and satellites ...
From precision machining to advanced microscopy, the demand for higher-power, ultrafast lasers continues to grow. Traditionally, researchers have relied on single-mode fibers to build these lasers, but they face a fundamental ...
They are barely thicker than a human hair—yet they could significantly improve the effectiveness of inhaled medications: carrier particles in dry powder inhalers transport the active ingredient and ensure it can be efficiently ...
For years, engineers have sought better ways to build tiny, efficient lasers that can be integrated directly onto silicon chips, a key step toward faster, more capable optical communications and computing.
Optical frequency combs are specially designed lasers that act like rulers to accurately and rapidly measure specific frequencies of light. They can be used to detect and identify chemicals and pollutants with extremely high ...
Using new techniques, Yale researchers have demonstrated the ability to use lasers to cool quantized vibrations of sound within massive objects to their quantum ground state, the lowest energy allowable by quantum mechanics. ...
