Since space missions seem to be more in-depth into the outer solar system, the requirement for highly compact, resource-conserving, and precise analytical tools has become highly crucial—specifically because the search for extraterrestrial life and habitable moons or planets continues.
Since the development of the first ruby laser—a solid-state laser that uses a synthetic ruby crystal as its laser medium—in 1960, the usage of lasers in scientific, medical, and industrial disciplines has grown substantially.
Scientists from École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have made a partnership with those at Harvard and ETH Zurich. The collaboration is on a new thin-film circuit that, when connected to a laser beam, helps generate finely customizable terahertz-frequency waves.
At the Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Centre of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS)’s laboratory, Professor Jinyang Liang and his collaborators are making an attempt to develop a new ultrahigh-speed single-pixel camera.
Drawing upon decades of experience - Optical Surfaces Ltd. is regularly selected by leading laser research groups including AWE, ELI, LULI, and CLF Rutherford to provide ultra-smooth focusing mirrors and other related optics for the most demanding high-power laser applications.
Resolve Optics is a leading supplier of miniature space-ready optics that lie at the heart of microsatellites and nanosatellites being deployed for a growing range of applications including remote sensing, earth observation, data communications, scientific analysis, and surveillance.
The need for smaller periodic nanostructures continues to grow as nanotechnology develops. Laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) has been earmarked as a viable alternative to the current expensive and specialized nanofabrication methods.
By offering dependable high-resolution imaging results and improving fabrication approaches, steady cheap organic-based materials can change X-Ray imaging.
The Si124 range of acoustic cameras now detects air leaks from 2 - 65 kHz - and the small change means big operational improvements for industrial applications across sectors.
Internet traffic by global consumers increased four-fold between 2017 and 2022 with a 31% compound annual growth rate. It will attain 4.8 ZB yearly by 2022, or 396 Exabytes (EB) every month.
For trace element analyses in gases, liquids, and solids, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a rapid chemical analysis technology that has been extensively developed.
Numerous industries, including telecommunications, remote sensing, and even medicine, use lasers. A device or material can produce laser emission, or lasing, in a variety of ways.
Worldwide, the mushroom industry is a booming business valued at more than $50 billion in 2019, with most production originating in China and the US.
A lithography technique called peripheral photoinhibition (PPI) direct laser writing (DLW) is used to create complex 3D nanostructures that are frequently used in photonics and electronics. PPI-DLW employs two beams: one to excite the substrate and promote polymerization, while the other inhibits and quenches the excitation at the margins.
A rapid, inexpensive, non-invasive screening technology could assist in hastening the process of eradicating malaria, one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, according to experts who created it.
