Artificial Intelligence in Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing
Introduction Nowadays, we see the application of artificial intelligence in many places, whether we are a student in a university or an engineer working in an industrial company. Artificial intelligence ...
Optical Coherence Tomography: Introduction
Optical Coherence Tomography: Introduction
If you’ve visited an optometrist, they may have used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to scan your retina. This new technique uses low coherence interferometry to image semi transparent tissue. Being a ...
Laser Lithotripsy: Laser Treatment of Kidney Stones
Laser Lithotripsy: Laser Treatment of Kidney Stones
You might have heard that lasers can be used in treating kidney stones. The method – often referred to as laser lithotripsy – has become a standard tool in urology. In this article, we will ...
Laser Interferometers Detect Gravitational Waves
Laser Interferometers Detect Gravitational Waves
Talking to one another or throwing a rock in a still pond will create waves that affect the mass around the epicenter, creating peaks and troughs. Similar to sound or water waves, gravitational waves are ...
Deformable Mirrors and “Fake” Stars in Space Photography
Deformable Mirrors and “Fake” Stars in Space Photography
Why do We Need Deformable Mirrors? Deformable mirrors are specialty mirrors that are capable of deforming their reflective surface and thus achieve wavefront correction of optical aberrations. In astronomy ...
