Scientists have captured the moment a laser "comes to life"—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special ...

A rotating lattice single (RLS) crystal is a unique form of solid, which was fabricated recently as one-dimensional architecture in glass via solid state transformation induced by laser irradiation.

Crystalline waveguides well combine the excellent optical confinement of waveguide structures and the rich optical properties of crystalline materials, rendering them promising candidates for ...

A team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF), local spin-off company Spaceoptix, and satellite communications specialist Tesat have been working on the ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Laser phase noise tolerance in direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system is experimentally demonstrated using laser linewidth emulator. With this ...
