Biobased Method Could Extract Domestic Supply of Rare-Earth Elements
STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Oct. 26, 2021 — An eco-friendly way to extract and separate rare earth elements (REEs) from unconventional sources has been demonstrated by researchers at Penn State and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The method relies on a bacterial protein that is...
Indiana University Team First to Test Sandia’s Open-Access Quantum Computer
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., March 19, 2021 — Sandia National Laboratories’ Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed, or QSCOUT, is now operational and ready for public use. Scientists from Indiana University recently became the first team to use the system. QSCOUT aims to address...
Researchers Push Boundaries of High-Energy Laser Pulses
QUEBEC CITY, Nov. 20, 2020 — INRS researchers have pushed the boundaries of high-energy laser pulse propagation, with reliance on the observation of high-energy multidimensional solitary states (MDSS), allowing the direct generation of extremely short and intense laser pulses...
Lasers: A Unique Microscopy Source
Nov 2, 2018 — The optical microscope dates back to the time of Galileo. For most of the past century, microscopy was widely regarded as a ubiquitous and extremely mature field. Today, the picture is very different. Optical microscopy is an incredibly dynamic...
Ultrabright Nanocrystals Could Image Single Proteins
BERKELEY, Calif., March 19, 2014 — The future is bright in the world of biological imaging with the recent creation of ultrabright, ultrasmall light-emitting crystals that can image single proteins.
Gun Laser Presented at FEL Conference
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2013 — A new concept for the SwissFEL laser based on a hybrid Ytterbium oscillator and amplifier was presented at the Free Electron Laser Conference in late August by a team from Paul Scherrer Institute and France-based ultrafast laser maker Amplitude...
Fiber vs. Disk: Which Laser Will Make the Cut?
Jul 1, 2011 — Some in the industry say they see fiber continuing to make large gains in the manufacturing space, but others say don’t count thin-disk out. The boom in fiber lasers that began several years ago has led some to question whether there is still...
A New World of Fiber Sensors
Oct 1, 2009 — Optical fiber is well-known for its ability to carry information at high speeds over long distances. Twenty years after the first transatlantic fiber optic cable was laid, these strands of ultrapure glass continue to offer unrivaled bandwidths. They...
Yb Tops Cesium in Superclock
GAITHERSBERG, Md., Aug. 12, 2009 – An experimental atomic clock based on ytterbium atoms is about four times more accurate than it was several years ago, giving it a precision comparable to that of the NIST-F1 cesium fountain clock, the nation's civilian time standard. Scientists at...
StockerYale: A Bright Future
SALEM, N.H., March 7, 2008 -- With StockerYale’s leading role in doped fiber production for fiber lasers, increasingly important role in providing specialized illumination for machine vision, and ever-increasing sales in medical instrumentation markets, the future looks...
Big Sky Laser Technologies Changes Name to Quantel USA
Jan 10, 2008 — Solid-state laser maker Big Sky Laser Technologies Inc. of Bozeman, Mont., announced it is changing its name to Quantel USA Inc. Big Sky Laser was founded in 1982 and has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Quantel since 1998. The company said it will...
New Ytterbium Host Offers Efficiency and Tunability
Jul 1, 2006 — The broad absorption and emission spectra of ytterbium, together with its small quantum defect, make it an ideal laser dopant — in many ways, it is superior to the quintessential veteran, neodymium. The chief drawback of ytterbium is the small...
NIST Atomic Clock Uses Yb 'Pancakes'
Mar 27, 2006 — GAITHERSBURG, Md., March 27, 2006 -- Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working with Russian colleagues said they have significantly improved the design of optical atomic clocks to become more stable and accurate...

Co-Doping Drives 2-µm Fiber Laser
Aug 1, 2003 — A group of scientists at the University of Sydney in Australia has demonstrated the use of ytterbium as a sensitizer in a holmium-doped fiber laser. Although Yb3+-Ho3+ sensitizing-lasing systems have been explored in crystalline YAG hosts, the...
Southampton Photonics Demos 600 W from Fiber Laser
Jun 23, 2003 — MUNICH, Germany, June 23 -- Southampton Photonics Inc. (SPI) and the Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton, England, have demonstrated over 600 W from a single fiber laser. The team said these are the highest powers reported to...
