Scientists have created a full spectrum white light laser with bright spot, smooth and flat spectrum, and large pulse energy characteristics

Recently, the team of Situ Guohai and Guo Jinying from the Aerospace Laser Technology and Systems Department of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the School of Microelectronics at Shanghai University collaborated to propose a terahertz phase controlled programmable metasurface design scheme based on free carrier plasma dispersion effect. The rela...

Single pixel imaging (SPI) is a novel computational imaging technique that has been widely studied in recent years. This technology only uses single pixel detectors without spatial resolution to obtain spatial information of targets.It has unique advantages and compensates for the shortcomings of traditional imaging technologies based on array detectors, such as relatively immature or expensive ar...

After receiving a $14.9 million contract from the US Department of Defense (DOD) last month to study the pulse laser effect, the University of Rochester recently received nearly $18 million in funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the key technology design and prototype of the EP-OPAL, also known as the OMEGA EP coupled optical parametric amplifier line (OPAL).EP-OPAL is a new fac...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) have developed a new technique that uses lasers to control individual qubits made from the chemical element barium. The breakthrough is a key step toward realizing the capabilities of quantum computers.The new technique uses thin glass waveguides to segment and focus laser beams with unprecedented precision. Each foc...

Recently, researchers and their partners from the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microstructure (IZM) in Germany announced the successful development of a laser welding technology that can efficiently fix optical fibers onto photonic integrated circuits (PICs) without the need for adhesive bonding.This technology is developed in response to biophoton sensing technology, mainly utilizing ...
