Levitators Offer High-Performance Glasses

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers at the Glass Products Div. of Containerless Research Inc. of Evanston, Ill., are producing new rare-earth-doped glasses that have applications in high-power-density solid-state lasers, telecommunications, medical lasers, military and security technologies, and optical components. The use of levitation systems at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., that offer a perfectly uncontaminated environment enabled the development of the glasses, which are available in commercial quantities made to customer specifications. Called REAl Glass, the material features a...Read full article

    medical lasers
    Medical lasers are devices that produce intense beams of light with specific characteristics and properties, which are used for various medical applications. These lasers emit light in the form of coherent and focused beams, allowing precise control over the energy delivered to tissues. The term "laser" stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." In the medical field, lasers are employed for diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical purposes. Their applications...
