Frankfurt Laser Company launches a new high-power fiber coupled laser diode

A team of computer and electrical engineers at UC Santa Barbara, in collaboration with several colleagues at Caltech and another colleague at Anello Photonics, has developed a first-of-its-kind chip that can carry both laser and photonic waveguides. In a paper published in the journal Nature, the team describes how they made the chip and how it worked during testing.With the advent of integrated c...

AAC Clyde Space, a small satellite technology multinational company headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden, has obtained the right to manufacture and distribute laser satellite communication terminals using the optical technology of the Dutch research institution TNO.TNO's technology helps to transmit satellite generated data to Earth through lasers, with the potential to achieve high speed and security...

Recently, the team led by Wu Kaifeng, a researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zhu Jingyi, an associate researcher, has made progress in the interdisciplinary field of photochemistry and photophysics. The team directly observed the quantum coherence properties of hybrid free radical pairs composed of quantum dots and organic molecules, achieving ef...

After electronic integrated circuits (Eics), silicon (Si) photonics technology is expected to achieve photonic integrated circuits (PIC) with high density, advanced functions and portability. Although various silicon photonics fountifiers are rapidly developing PIC capabilities to enable mass production of modulators, photodetectors and, more recently, lasers, silicon PIC has not yet met the strin...

Recently, a research team led by Professor Cai Wei and Professor Xu Jingjun from the School of Physical Sciences at Nankai University has experimentally confirmed for the first time the generation of polaritons, also known as Smith Purcell radiation, at the two-dimensional scale, and further demonstrated the ability of free electrons to regulate two-dimensional Smith Purcell radiation. The researc...
