Laser Communications could reshape military space networks as research shows adaptable laser links nearing use.

Researchers in Quebec, Canda, have developed the first fiber laser that can produce femtosecond pulses in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fiber lasers producing ultrashort, bright ...

These phase fluctuations create "noise" in the laser spectrum—they smudge the laser's frequency, making it less pure in color. The Raman technique works by transferring these timing irregularities ...

There are obvious differences between cancerous cells and normal cells in morphology, chemical properties and mechanical properties. The detection of cytochemical and mechanical properties of tumor ...

The PE50BF-DIF pyroelectric detector is said to have a wider spectral range and higher damage thresholds than any energy sensor of its type. Its broadband absorber collects measurements from 193 nm to ...

A project at Macquarie University has demonstrated a way to narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand. Published in APL Photonics, the technique offers a promising route ...
