Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MURRAY HILL, N.J., Feb. 22 -- Scientists at Bell Labs, the research and development arm of Lucent Technologies, have built the world's first semiconductor laser that emits light continuously and reliably over a broad spectrum of infrared wavelengths. The new device, which eliminates the drawbacks of previous attempts at producing broadband laser action, could have potential applications ranging from advanced optical communications to sensitive chemical detectors, the researchers said. The new laser's properties are described in an article published in the current issue of the journal Nature....Read full article
