Fiber lasers aren’t nearly as common as their diode and CO2 cousins, but if you’re lucky enough to have one in your garage or local makerspace, this technique for depositing thin films of metals in ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

This review discusses how nonlinear optics and intelligent control techniques are advancing ultrafast laser technology, ...

We’ve all heard the “Do not stare into laser with remaining eye” joke. It’s funny because it’s true, as pretty much any laser a hobbyist can easily come by can cause permanent damage to eyes unless ...

A new photoacoustic imaging technology combines laser light and ultrasound to image biological tissue. By creating a new twist on fiber optic sensors, researchers in China have developed a smart, ...

Laser cutting and engraving technologies have become essential tools across a wide variety of different industries, from manufacturing, art and small businesses. These technologies use laser beams to ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...
