An unexpected dark pulse laser
BOULDER, Colo. – Sometimes what isn’t there can be as interesting as what is. In working to develop mode-locked quantum dot diode lasers, researchers have discovered something unforeseen: a dark pulse laser. The device emits a steady beam of light, with periodic dips that are like dark pulses in the continuous bright background. Dark pulse lasers are new, so applications for them are still a matter of speculation. But research leader Steven T. Cundiff, a physicist with the Gaithersburg, Md.-based ...
