A school gym-sized facility tucked away at the University of Michigan is quietly pushing the boundaries of what lasers can do ...

Scientists can now snap ultra-powerful laser pulses in one shot. RAVEN reveals distortions instantly, unlocking breakthroughs ...

The method gave researchers access to powerful laser pulses that could sit on a tabletop, and made high-power laser-pulse tools like BELLA more feasible. BELLA’s sapphire lasing crystal Photo ...

The US is all set to kick off a new era in high-powered laser experimentation this week, with scientists moving the final pieces into place for Zetawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System ...

A concept of pulse compression in a plasma. Credit: Nature Photonics (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41566-023-01321-x A new method of creating laser pulses, more than 1,000 times as powerful as those ...

The US has a new most powerful laser – creating more than 100 times the global electricity power output. The ZEUS laser facility at the University of Michigan has roughly doubled the peak power ...

A laser named after the most powerful god in ancient Greece is living up to its name. According to the University of Michigan, the first official experiment from the Zettawatt-Equivalent ...

A team of British and Czech scientists have developed the most powerful pulse laser in the world.Their laser has an average power of 1000 watts, making it ten times more powerful than any laser of ...

Lasers can now reach power in the petawatt range. And, when you focus a laser beam that powerful, nothing survives: all matter is shredded, leaving only electrons and nuclei. But laser physicists ...

Other optics, power sources, and more crystals further tune the shape, duration, and power of the laser pulse. But sound is produced by vibrations through air, not by light.

During a pulsed current test, you measure the laser diode's optical output power with a series of current pulses. Increase the amplitude of each successive pulse so you “sweep” the current from no ...
