Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

A chip-scale laser smaller than a penny, fabricated from lithium niobate and utilizing the Pockels effect, achieves ultrafast, broad-spectrum frequency tuning at rates of about 10 19 Hz.

They shed light on atomic and molecular processes: ultrashort laser pulses are required to study extremely fast quantum phenomena. For years, scientists have been trying to tune the shape of light ...

Researchers have demonstrated that laser emissions can be created through the interaction of light and water waves. This 'water-wave laser' could someday be used in tiny sensors or 'lab-on-a-chip ...

See how scientists use lasers to hunt gravitational waves with the See how they'll do it with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in this Space.com infographic.

Spark gap electrohydraulic shock wave therapy works differently but can be used for some of the same conditions — but on dogs only, says Dr. John Mauterer, a veterinarian at Veterinary ...

Luckily, lasers may soon put an end to these dead zones. The UK’s National Physical Laboratory has figured out how to use lasers to see sound waves in a room – as well as acoustic dead zones ...

The lasers without any external perturbation usually produce continuous-wave output. In order to trigger the chaos production, the team applied an external perturbation named as optical feedback ...
