Light Fidelity, also known as Li-Fi, was invented by Professor Suat Topsu from Paris-Saclay University and introduced worldwide by German Physicist Harald Haas in a 2011 Ted talk. Haas did a demonstration ...

Introduction The invention and utilization of artificial light was crucial to the development of civilization because it enabled humans to extend the length of the day. Today, certain light bulbs are ...

Introduction to Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Dye-sensitized solar cells have the potential to replace traditional and costly crystalline silicon solar cells. The sun emits about 3.86 x 1026 joules every ...

Comparison Between Laser Diode-Pumped Light Sources, LEDs, and HIDs There is a great push in society today to offer light sources that are brighter, clearer, and more energy efficient. For many years now, ...

Lasers in dentistry have been explored since the early 1960s. At its infancy, the practitioners of the field used Ruby lasers. They used the pulses emitted from such lasers to ablate the tooth enamel to ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder have been experimenting with laser sources called optical frequency combs to find a new way of studying molecular structures. Frequency combs get their ...

If you’ve been in the market for new high-end TV lately, you may have run into what Samsung has coined as the QLED line of displays.  Display manufacturers tout this “state-of-the-art” display technology a ...

What is Electro-Optics? In the last 20 years or so, the field of electro-optics has become increasingly important. It is often challenging to predict the future of scientific discoveries and their relevant ...

Introduction Everyone knows or heard about UV or anti-reflective coatings on lenses and filters but what are they really and what distinguishes anti-reflective coatings from other types of coatings? We ...

Basics of Lamp-Pumped Solid State (LPSS) Lasers As the trailblazer for many modern day laser designs, LPSS lasers are a mature technology that have been around since the invention of the first laser. The ...
