These new mirrors will be deployed in a state-of-the-art laser-driven proton and ion beam accelerator on campus. The newly procured off-axis parabolic mirrors, supplied by Optical Surfaces, are short ...

In laser-based manufacturing, accommodating non-flat, or changing surfaces has traditionally been labor-intensive, involving complex focus mapping procedures and or ex-situ characterization. This ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new method for flexibly creating various needle-shaped laser beams. These long, narrow beams can be used to improve optical coherence tomography (OCT), a ...

Seeking a gentler alternative, medical engineers have long explored laser technology. Because lasers operate without physical ...

Calculating laser power density What is a LiDAR point cloud? Wide array of applications for lasers. LiDAR (light detection and ranging) can measure the distance of an object (measuring the time for ...

Needle-shaped laser beams (NBs) featuring a long and narrow localization of photons can potentially allow non-diffracting pulses with undistorted temporal profiles. Using this kind of pulse in ...

Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse ...
