Launching the world's strongest laser at a cost of 320 million euros

Recently, the Laser Energy Laboratory (LLE) at the University of Rochester installed a new supercomputer to support its laser fusion experiments.The new supercomputer has increased the computing power of the laboratory by four times and shortened the time required to complete certain projects from 30 weeks to a few days.The Laser Energy Laboratory (LLE) at the University of Rochester is one of the...

A project at Macquarie University has demonstrated a way to narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand.Published in APL Photonics, the technique offers a promising route toward ultra-narrow linewidth lasers for potential use in a wide range of pump-pulse systems.Laser linewidth measures how precisely a beam of light maintains its frequency and color purity, and narrow-li...

Professor Zhang Huaijin and Yu Haohai from the Institute of Crystal Materials of Shandong University (the State Key Laboratory of Crystal Materials) proposed a spatial harmonic modulation strategy, which realizes the phase matching conditions that can be manipulated artificially in the new quartz crystal, and realizes the effective frequency doubling within the VUV range. The relevant research is ...

Recently, the team of Professor Sun Jinhua and researcher Wang Qingsong of the University of Science and Technology of China and the team of Professor Guo Tuan of Jinan University have made important achievements in the field of early warning of thermal runaway optical fiber detection of lithium-ion batteries.A high-precision, multi-mode integrated fiber optic device that can be implanted in...

Zhang Jun, an academician team of Beijing University of Technology, pioneered the on chip spectral multiplexing perception architecture, and independently developed the first 100 channel megapixel hyperspectral real-time imaging device in the world, creating the world's highest light energy utilization rate. On November 7, the team's relevant achievements were published in the journal Nature, and ...
