At high power, laser light inside a multimode optical fiber is supposed to misbehave. The beam usually breaks into a noisy, ...

MIT researchers found that chaotic laser light can transform into a precise, stable beam. This breakthrough enables much ...

After a surprising discovery that overcomes a longstanding problem in fiber optics, MIT researchers demonstrated a biomedical ...

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2014 was awarded for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. Inspired by this work, scientists at Institute of Photonic Chips (IPC), University of ...

Polytec's optical measurement equipment focuses on dynamic response measurements. MEMS devices typically have actively moving ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...

Scientists have ample evidence to prove the Earth is a sphere. But some social media users claim to have devised an experiment showing the earth is flat. The post shows a green laser beam projected ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...
