Optical switching — in which one beam of light modulates, or switches, another — is one of the holy grails of modern photonics. It’s a necessary...
Diode lasers generate red light, but their performance at elevated temperatures degrades so badly that they are not suitable for laser projection...
Seawater has a transmission window between 350 and 580 nm, and a collaboration among scientists at the University of Arizona in Tucson and at...
Remote sensing, spectroscopy, medicine and military countermeasures are among the applications that would benefit from efficient, compact...
There are several advantages in using the end facet of an optical fiber as the output mirror of a vertical external cavity surface-emitting laser...
The technique of placing a frequency-doubling crystal inside a vertical external cavity surface-emitting laser (VECSEL) has been investigated in many...
