In an experiment packed with scientific firsts, researchers have demonstrated that a laser pulse can accelerate an electron beam and couple it to a second laser plasma accelerator, where another laser ...

Photon Design has announced that its FIMMWAVE photonic simulation software played a key role in enabling Photonect's development of an epoxy-free, fibre-to-chip optical interconnect technology ...

A technical paper titled “Unlocking the monolithic integration scenario: optical coupling between GaSb diode lasers epitaxially grown on patterned Si substrates and passive SiN waveguides” was ...

Launching high power laser light into a pure silica core optical fiber can sometimes damage the input face of the fiber, causing failure in fiber coupling. The coupling failure occurs more commonly ...

Electron and phonon are two fundamental particles (quasi-particles) of condensed matter and their interplay in single crystals can create many interesting physical phenomena, such as polariton, charge ...

The ability to stop light in its tracks by passing it through a cloud of ultracold atoms could lead to new techniques for optical storage Slow coach: Lene Hau with the laser system that her group uses ...
