Flaw detection and rapid fatigue fracture Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained popularity in a number of high-value industries due to their capacity to produce small batches of geometrically ...

Laser cleaning is a process used to safely remove paint, rust, or other undesired contaminants from various surfaces. In this blog post we will discuss the technology, uses, and benefits of modern Handheld ...

How often do we think about the importance of optical fiber probes in biomedical applications? When we think of optical engineering applications in the medical field, we often think of lasers, MRI ...

From the device that you are looking at to the international space station, glass is the invisible material that improves our daily life.  A large class of glass materials are derived from quartz, or most ...

The 2022 Nobel prize in Physics on quantum entanglement has been announced and the findings are incredible! In short, what researchers Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger have discovered is ...

Introduction Single photon sources are a relatively new type of light source that was first developed and tested in 1974. Unlike most classical light sources, this type of a source emits light as a single ...

Introduction to laser powder bed fusion In this article, we discuss a novel work introduced by the researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the USA. ...

Optical Neural Networks can revolutionize data science. The current state of data science places a heavy emphasis on large quantities of data, which are widely available due to increased computational ...

Have you ever pondered about the physics of invisibility: the physics behind how we could possibly make someone invisible? Perhaps you picture bending light around someone to shield them with invisibility. ...

Introduction Supercontinuum lasers are a special type of lasers that emit an extremely wide and continuous spectrum of light. When they were first invented, these lasers were known as the “white-light” ...
