Researchers in Israel have created a microscopic optical device that could simplify high-power laser ...

Researchers have built a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that funnels light from 37 separate multimode semiconductor lasers into a single optical fiber, merging 222 distinct spatial modes; the ...

We’ve all heard the “Do not stare into laser with remaining eye” joke. It’s funny because it’s true, as pretty much any laser a hobbyist can easily come by can cause permanent damage to eyes unless ...

Emerging fiber laser technologies are expected to make significant market progress in sensing and healthcare, while innovations in laser welding and 3D printing mean that material processing remains ...

Scientists have known for years that hydrogen can alter the performance of optical fibers, which are often used to transmit or even generate laser light in optical devices. Now researchers have put ...

It’s not often we feel that something we’re featuring is a genuinely new and groundbreaking technique, but a team from the University of Maryland’s Small Artifacts Lab may have done just that with ...

In another step forward for laser weapons that brings to mind the Death Star's superlaser, Lockheed Martin has demonstrated a 30-kilowatt fiber laser produced by combining many lasers into a single ...

The development of fiber laser technology is a game-changer for the stainless steel sheet fabrication industry, allowing for faster cutting speeds at half the price of a CO 2 laser. Fiber lasers are ...
