91. An Electrical Trigger Fires Single, Identical Photons 10/8/2020

    Secure telecommunications networks and rapid information processing make much of modern life possible. To provide more secure, faster, and higher-performance information sharing than is currently possible, scientists and engineers are designing next-generation devices that harness the rules of quantum physics.

92. Light Swirls Magnetization - Laser Light Pulses Enable Faster Generation Of Skyrmions In Magnets 10/5/2020

    The researchers have clarified how the topology of the magnetic system changes in the process. As they report in the journal Nature Materials, the results offer fundamental insights into topological phase transitions and inspire new ideas on how magnetic skyrmions can be used for information technology.

93. SLAC Researchers Find Evidence For Quantum Fluctuations Near A Quantum Critical Point In A Superconductor 8/31/2020

    Among all the curious states of matter that can coexist in a quantum material, jostling for preeminence as temperature, electron density and other factors change, some scientists think a particularly weird juxtaposition exists at a single intersection of factors, called the quantum critical point or QCP.

94. Tiny Circuits, Long Distances: Smaller Light Processing Devices For Fiber-Optic Communication 8/28/2020

    Optical signals produced by laser sources are extensively used in fiber-optic communications, which work by pulsing information packaged as light through cables, even at great distances, from a transmitter to a receiver.

95. Multiple Laser Light Scattering Goniometer 8/25/2020

    Testa Analytical Solutions e.K announce the launch of an upgrade kit for its BI-200SM light scattering goniometer system providing access to multiple laser Static Light Scattering (SLS) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) techniques.

96. X-Rays Indicate That Water Can Behave Like A Liquid Crystal 8/11/2020

    Scientists at Stockholm University have discovered that water can exhibit a similar behavior like a liquid crystal when illuminated with laser light. This effect originates by the alignment of water molecules, which exhibit a mixture of low- and high-density domains that are more or less prone to alignment.

97. UniKLasers Targets Wide Range Of Applications With Launch Of Powerful Single Frequency Red Laser Series 7/14/2020

    UniKLasers Limited, a leading manufacturer of high precision scientific laser instrumentation, has launched a second-generation series of its Solo 640 range of laser equipment, offering greater precision and feature enhancement in areas reliant on single frequency laser technology such as high-resolution Holography, Interferometry, Raman and Brillouin Spectroscopy.

98. Microlearning Applied To Laser Safety 7/16/2019

    This article explains the concept and demonstrates how the training approach known as “microlearning” can be applied in laser use settings to the advantage of staff, researchers, and management.

99. Properly Executing Fiber Optic Safety 6/18/2019

    Happily, laser accidents with fibers are almost exclusively related to non-beam hazards. Still, laser fiber users need to understand a number of factors relevant to fiber optic safety.

100. Understanding Laser Safety In Fabrication Settings 5/21/2019

     Many laser standards exist to address the variety of laser use applications, but the fabrication setting is conspicuously omitted. This article details what the basic laser safety requirements for fabrication, as well as what it takes to implement such safeguards.
