(Courtesy: ETH Zürich/D-PHYS/Kilian J Kessler) Researchers at ETH Zürich in Switzerland have transformed a microchip laser that emits a single frequency (or colour) of light into one that emits light ...

A team of researchers at NIST in the US has now addressed this problem by making a microchip-based laser that converts near-infrared laser light into any of a range of visible light colours – ...

Currently, dicing is performed by mechanical sawing or laser cutting, but these approaches can cause problems. Sawing can cause thin wafers to break or layers of silicon to separate. The heat ...

program has successfully integrated non-mechanical optical scanning technology onto a microchip. The SWEEPER technology has demonstrated that it can sweep a laser back and forth more than 100,000 ...

Recognizing these hurdles, Professors Hidehiro Sakurai, Yumi Yakiyama and their team at Osaka University turned their attention to the microchip laser (MCL) system. Developed by the Taira group at ...

The most shocking may be the laser tail light. The word “laser” is not just some marketing gimmick. Rather, the tail lights shoot real laser beams out toward the ground. This opens the door ...
