What is the current fashion in the global laser market? If you run a factory focusing on material processing, your first answer is probably fiber laser. And expectedly you might be planning to order one to ...

Attempts at solar-pumped lasers have been reported since 1963. This is unsurprising, as it mirrors the timeline for when the modern environmental movement was gaining traction worldwide, but especially in ...

The history of glass making can be traced back to at least 3600 BC, perhaps accidentally created from slags of metal-working processes. Since then this transparent material has provided us with beautiful ...

It turns out Fiber Bragg Gratings have a noteworthy application in aerospace industry that we will explore today together. Because of their phenomenal optical multiplexing capabilities they can act as ...

Ultrafast optics is a very popular field for using short pulses to investigate phenomena that have remained a mystery with traditional optics. It has enabled investigation of fast reactions, high power ...

Nanowires are truly one-dimensional structures that are long in one direction and short on the lateral dimension. This dimensional reduction gives rise to interesting new phenomena such as quantized ...

Raman scattering phenomenon can be used to engineer broadband tunable lasers and to generate a broad band of frequencies in the IR spectrum. These light sources are instrumental for probing and detecting ...

Optical fibers are a convenient instrument for robust light transfer. Their low losses have enabled their wide use in long distance telecommunication systems while service providers like AT&T, Verizon ...

Introduction   Bionic limbs exist in a number of books, movies, and TV shows. Science fiction fans will remember the Steve Austin’s Bionic Arm from his role in The Six Million Dollar Man. Even ...

Edge emitting and surface emitting lasers present two configurations for laser emission using semiconductors. Edge emitting lasers came first but were quickly replaced by surface emitting lasers for ...
