Recently, a research group led by Prof. SUN Dunlu from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully synthesized novel mid-infrared Ho,Pr:YAP and Er:YGGAG ...
A NASA spacecraft has beamed a near-infrared laser nearly 10 million miles into space breaking new ground for the agency. The laser, which is encoded with test data, was fired from NASA’s Psyche ...
Physicists have calculated how suitable molecules can be stimulated by infrared light pulses to form tiny magnetic fields. If this is also successful in experiments, the principle could be used in ...
Ultrafast laser processing creates silicon surfaces that absorb nearly all infrared light and remain stable under heat and wear, enabling coating-free infrared sensing and calibration. (Nanowerk ...
Laser weapons have become super portable. Defense and security company NUBURU's Lyocon subsidiary has adapted industrial laser technology to create an anti-drone laser weapon small and light enough to ...
The fusion of mid-infrared laser technologies with zinc selenide crystals has forged a promising frontier in photonics. Zinc selenide, renowned for its excellent optical clarity, thermal stability and ...
Chromacity Ltd reports how its tuneable ultrafast infra-red lasers are helping researchers characterise single photon detectors (SPDs), essential devices for applications including quantum key ...
A novel laser system made by a research team at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully make lasers in the mid-infrared range work better. "Mid-infrared lasers ...
