Ultrafast Beam-Steering Achieved for Incoherent Light
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 4, 2023 — A research team at Sandia National Laboratories has demonstrated a technique that dynamically steers light pulses from conventional incoherent light sources. The ability to control incoherent light with a semiconductor device could allow low-power, low-cost sources such as LEDs or flashlight bulbs to replace laser beams in technologies such as holograms, remote sensing, self-driving cars, and high-speed communication. So-called incoherent light, which is emitted by sources such as
