Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as electronic components via a "plug." Their development could serve as the ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too ...

Over the last few years, an ambitious moonshot project spun out of Google has been developing fascinating technologies to ...

Abstract: We realize a narrow-linewidth Brillouin random fiber laser (BRFL) that uses the proposed coherent self-injection locking with a semi-open linear cavity configuration. The proposed laser ...
