Quiet Lasers, Cool Science Jun 27, 2018 — In the 1960s, just a few years after the laser was invented, researchers contemplated its use as a precision tool to control the motion of neutral atoms. Early research focused on the use of an opto- mechanical force based on the scattering of light. In simple terms, it was found that when an object was irradiated with light from a single direction, the object could randomly re-radiate or scatter in all directions, causing a small net transfer of momentum from the photons to the object....

Lasers for Micromachining: Shorter Pulses, More Power Jun 5, 2018 — Smaller devices, tighter tolerances, and higher performance demand finer and finer features — hence the increasing need for micromachining. For lasers, this often translates into a requirement for shorter pulse widths. However, these must be at the...
