By harnessing the unique properties of tantala (tantalum pentoxide), a team of US-based researchers has created a photonic integrated circuit that can be tuned to deliver laser light across a broad ...

An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a ...

(Nanowerk News) The ability to precisely control the various properties of laser light is critical to much of the technology that we use today, from commercial virtual reality (VR) headsets to ...

Short pulses from a laser can be twisted into a series of doughnut-like vortices, offering a way to transmit more information using light. We usually encounter vortices in water and air, but similar ...
