New Tool to Enhance the Way Computer Chips, LEDs and Transistors are Built

By reversing a process that converts electrical signals into sounds heard out of a cell phone, researchers may have a new tool to enhance the way computer chips, LEDs and transistors are built. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have for the first time converted the highest frequency sounds into light by reversing a process that converts electrical signals to sound.

Polarizers May Enhance Remote Chemical Detection

Information provided by LIBS, however, is sometimes clouded by interfering signals caught by the spectroscope -- and eliminating the background can be expensive. But a group of chemists at the University of Illinois at Chicago reports that equipping LIBS with a polarizing filter can do the job at a lower cost and probably with equal or greater sensitivity than the tools presently in use.

Semi-Polar GaN Layer for Optoelectronic Devices

Now the technical team at Oxford Instruments-TDI, led by Dr. Alexander Usikov, has made significant progress in solving this problem, and is working closely with a leading LED manufacturer to fabricate these semi-polar GaN layer for optoelectronic devices. This would increase radiative recombination efficiency and device performance.

World's Largest and Highest-Energy Laser System Gears Up for Ignition Experiments

Construction of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world's largest and highest-energy laser system, was essentially completed on Feb. 26, when technicians at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), where the laser is located, fired the first full system shot to the center of the NIF target chamber.

New Technology Presented at World's Largest Optical Communication Conference Produces Better Sources of White Light

A freak wave at sea is a terrifying sight. Seven stories tall, wildly unpredictable, and incredibly destructive, such waves have been known to emerge from calm waters and swallow ships whole. But rogue waves of light -- rare and explosive flare-ups that are mathematically similar to their oceanic counterparts -- have recently been tamed by a group of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
