A team of physicists has just modeled an astonishing quantum phenomenon where ultra-powerful lasers generate light from vacuum. This work could soon be experimentally validated thanks to a new ...

Excitingly, these simulations recreate a bizarre phenomenon predicted by quantum physics, known as "vacuum four-wave mixing." This states that the combined electromagnetic field of three focused ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester and University of California, Santa Barbara, have engineered a laser device smaller than a U.S. cent (less than 20 mm in diameter) that they say could ...

Researchers have developed a laser device smaller than a penny with applications ranging from to LiDAR systems to gravitational wave detection. A new chip-scale laser can conduct extremely fast and ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester and University of California, Santa Barbara, engineered a laser device smaller than a penny that they say could power everything from the LiDAR systems ...

But current optical metrology requires bulky and expensive equipment to achieve delicate laser-wave control, creating a bottleneck for deploying streamlined, cost-effective systems.

We develop an analytic model to explore spatial and spectral effects in intracavity Raman lasers. The effects of deterioration of the spatial and spectral properties of the fundamental and Stokes ...

The study, titled "Room-temperature non-volatile optical manipulation of polar order in a charge density wave," was published in Nature Communications on October 16, 2024.

According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the universe remembers every gravitational wave—and scientists could soon test these cosmic recollections ...
