Since the invention of the laser in 1960, nonlinear optics has aimed to broaden light's spectral range and create new ...

Lasers are useful because they produce powerful beams of collimated, coherent light. The fact that laser light is monochromatic (narrowband spectral output) is an advantage much of the time ...

Optical parametric oscillators simultaneously generate two beams of coherent light that are widely tunable in wavelength. This flexibility makes them a popular tool in various areas of scientific ...

The highly coherent light produced by the laser is used in a novel photographic process, in which the light-sensitive film, instead of recording an image, in effect records the light waves themselves ...

Designs and manufactures solid-state lasers for science and industry. The Evolution, Spitfire, and Hurricane have established Positive Light as the leader in ultrafast and pulsed diode-pumped lasers.

Scientists have successfully manipulated quantum systems with extreme ultraviolet light pulses, achieving precise control of ...

One such alternative involves random lasers, which generate coherent light through multiple scattering events in disordered materials rather than using mirror systems. This approach has shown promise ...

The project used the Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) Facility at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility. The researchers triggered the ...
