Photonic Laser Thruster Makes Its Debut
TUSTIN, Calif., Feb. 22, 2007 -- Einstein's vision of laser-powered rockets whizzing through space may not be realized in the near future, but the idea of humans traveling the cosmos at "warp" speeds came a step closer to reality in December when Young Bae of the Bae Institute...
Laser Mirror Could Greatly Improve Optical Devices
BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 13, 2007 -- Engineers have created a high-performance mirror that is thinner, operates across a wider spectrum of light and is easier to make than current high-grade mirrors. The development could overcome the hurdles stalling semiconductor laser advancement...
'Optics on a Chip' Melds Photonic Circuitry, Silicon
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 7, 2007 -- Using microphotonics, researchers have split the light from an optic fiber in an integrated, on-chip way, controlled the random polarization of the two beams and then reconnected them. The breakthrough in "optics on a chip" technology could lead to...
Artificial Atoms Make Microwave Photons Countable
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 2, 2007 -- Using artificial atoms on a chip, physicists have taken the next step toward quantum computing by demonstrating that the particle nature of microwave photons can now be detected. Quantum theories are often considered to apply best to processes...
Image Stored on One Photon
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan, 22, 2007 -- Researchers have made an optics breakthrough that allows them to encode an entire image's worth of data into a photon, slow the image down for storage, and then retrieve the image intact. While the initial test image consists of only a few...
Photon Control Awarded Fiber-Optic Sensing Patent
Jan 4, 2007 — Photonic sensor developer Photon Control Inc. of Burnaby, British Columbia, announced it has been granted US Patent No. 7,099,015 for fiber-optic sensing. The patent protects interferometric technology for sensing physical parameters, such as...
JLab FEL Breaks Power Record
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. 9, 2006 -- The most powerful tunable laser in the world has shattered another power record. Officials report that the free-electron laser (FEL) at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility produced a 14.2 kilowatt beam of laser light at an infrared...
UV Light Reveals Secrets of Nanoelectronic Materials
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., Oct. 27, 2006 -- Using the new method of ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy, scientists have been able to measure, for the first time, the conditions at which certain ultrathin materials spontaneously become electrically polarized. The research provides a basis for...
ASU Solar Project Gets $1M NSF Grant
TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 18, 2006 -- A team of scientists from Arizona State University has received a three-year, $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to create nanoscale devices that better exploit the energy from one of Arizona's most abundant resources --...
New Biosensor Could Target, Kill Cancer Cells
SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 12, 2006 -- A highly sensitive nucleotide sensor has been developed that uses the special light-emitting properties of some nanoparticles in analyzing and identifying individual components of single strands of DNA and RNA. Its creators said the sensor could be...
Normal Light Converted to Short-Wave Photons
MAINZ and STUTTGART, Germany, Oct. 12, 2006 -- For the first time, scientists have manipulated low-energy long-wave photons, or normal light such as sunlight, and converted it into higher energy short-wave photons, laying the foundation for the creation of more efficient solar cells....
Caltech Professor Receives German Award for Laser Innovations
Oct 11, 2006 — H. Jeff Kimble, Valentine Professor and professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, has been chosen by the private non-profit German foundation Berthold Leibinger Stiftung as the initial recipient of its new Berthold...
Quantum Encryption Codes Sent Over Record Distances
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Sept. 26, 2006 -- Using an innovative sensor for detecting single photons, the smallest particles of light, scientists have set two significant distance records for distributing "keys" (or codes) for quantum encryption, the most secure method known for protecting the...
Researchers: Broadband Possible in Space
Mar 22, 2006 — CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 22, 2006 -- MIT researchers have developed a tiny light detector that may allow for superfast broadband communication over interplanetary distances. Currently, even still images from other planets are difficult to retrieve,...
Hyperentangled Photon Pairs Produced
Dec 1, 2005 — Investigators at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, have used paired nonlinear crystals to prepare photon pairs that are entangled in all degrees of freedom: polarization,...
Physicists Create Artificial Molecule On A Chip
Sep 24, 2004 — NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 24 -- Using integrated circuit fabrication techniques, a team of researchers from Yale University has bound a single photon to a superconducting device engineered to behave like a single atom, forming an artificial molecule....
Ion-Photon Entanglement Demonstrated
Apr 1, 2004 — Researchers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, have demonstrated quantum entanglement between a single trapped cadmium ion and a photon emitted by the ion. The work, which was published in the March 11 issue of Nature, points to potential...
Lab Experiment Probes Photon Charge
Mar 1, 2003 — Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., have devised a new apparatus for measuring the upper limit on the charge of the photon. The approach, which was described in the Jan. 1 issue of Physical Review D, has yielded results an...
