Novel Optical Crystal Lights the Way to Next-Gen Laser Tech
PEKING, China, Jan. 16, 2024 — Researchers from Peking University developed an ultrathin optical crystal featuring high energy efficiency, paving the way for next-generation laser technology. Compared to traditional crystals of the same thickness, the energy efficiency is increased by 100 to 10,000×. Due to the limitations of traditional theory models and material systems, existing crystals have struggled to meet the requirements for developing future laser devices, such as miniaturization, high integration, and
