Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...
It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...
Taara started as a Google X moonshot spinoff aimed at connecting rural villages in sub-Saharan Africa with beams of light. Its newest product, debuting this week at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ...
Quantum dots with precise crystal growth and advanced processing enable compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective light sources for optical fiber communications. (Nanowerk News) The National ...
A doughnut-shaped laser was used to create a 45-metre-long optical fibre out of air, and a pulse of light was then sent through it. The technology could eventually be used to detect radioactive ...
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) say that they have built a thulium fiber laser capable of emitting 1.91 kW - nearly double the typical output ...
June 27, 2025 - Advanced Fiber Resources (AFR), a global leader in fiber optic components, successfully participated in Laser World of Photonics 2025, held in Munich, Germany. From industrial lasers ...
Once a month or so, I have the privilege of sitting down with Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams to record the Hackaday Podcast. It’s a lot of fun spending a couple of hours geeking out together, and we ...
