A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background ...

The controlled generation of single photons is an essential element of numerous quantum technology applications, such as ...

The winter months, when people spend significantly less time in the sun, are typically known as “laser season” by skin experts—if you’re considering a treatment, now is a great time. “We perform laser ...

After facing possible steep budget cuts that could have shut down a Louisiana space observatory, scientists are breathing a sigh of relief after recently approved federal science funding exceeded ...

Common to optical metrology in many modern systems, the Fizeau design uses a fixed, on-axis coherent point source to illuminate the interferometric cavity. For the most part, it works very well. While ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Warwick has developed the first unified framework for detecting “spacetime fluctuations” - tiny, random distortions in the fabric of spacetime that ...

We suspect there are three kinds of people in the world. People who have access to a Michelson Interferometer and are glad, those who don’t have one and don’t know what one is, and a very small number ...

Berlin, December 8 th, 2025: Renowned for its expertise in providing suitable laser diodes for space applications (e.g. in missions such as GAIA, CATS, EXO Mars, GALILEO II, FORUM, MERLIN, DRAGONFLY), ...

FROSTI is a new adaptive optics system that precisely corrects distortions in LIGO’s mirrors caused by extreme laser power. By using custom thermal patterns, it preserves mirror shape without ...

The engine in your car, truck, or SUV can run on either copper, platinum, or iridium spark plugs. You probably heard the hype around iridium plugs and how they manage to deliver solid sparks while ...
