Printing Tiny Electronic Components Using Lasers
A new type of laser printing using nanoparticles could lead to major breakthroughs in the medical world.
Terahertz Lasers Inspired by Antenna Design
Terahertz lasers could potentially be used in security and medical diagnostics because of their ability to detect chemicals and evaluate materials. However, the technology will need to be improved before it is widely adopted.
Researchers Print Disposable Lasers
Inkjet printed "lasing capsules" serve as the core of an organic laser. Figure (a) shows a schematic of the laser setup, while figure (b) shows actual lasing capsules, which would cost only a few cents to prod... Read More...
Laser Technology Transmits Data from Space to the Earth for the First Time
The European Space Agency has announced that their European data relay system (EDRS) successfully transmitted data to the Earth using laser communications terminal technology for the first time. The EDRS, a... Read More...
Quantum Whirlpool Created With Spiral Laser Beam
Physicists from the Australian National University used a brass mask with a circular pattern of holes of increasing size to create a spiral laser beam. The spiral laser beam was then used to create a quantu... Read More...
