Cardiovascular diseases are among the top causes of death and morbidity in developed nations. In particular, diseases of the coronary arteries are most prevalent. Lasers are well suited to diagnose and ...

The first medical application of lasers was reported by Goldman in 1962. In cardiovascular surgery, McGuff first used a Ruby laser in 1963 for the experimental ablation of atherosclerotic plaques. After a ...

Low temperature physics has helped us produce exotic quantum materials such as superconductors. This usually requires cryogenic fluids such as liquid nitrogen and helium for operation. Recently cooling ...

Since the invention of the first operating laser in 1960, lasers have been designed in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and output powers. Soon after the advent of semiconductor fabrication ...

It is a widely touted fact that humans have yet to explore 95% of the Earth’s oceans. This is because water pressure makes deeper parts of the ocean implausible to reach. Explorers also risk loss of life ...

LASERs (or Light Amplified by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) are among the most widely available and versatile optical tools today.  A variety of lasers are commonly used in household devices, such as ...

Introduction to the Diode Laser Researchers have been developing different types of coherent light sources to fit a larger span of applications since 1960. Present-day lasers vary in size, power-range, and ...

What is Electro-Optics? In the last 20 years or so, the field of electro-optics has become increasingly important. It is often challenging to predict the future of scientific discoveries and their relevant ...

Basics of Lamp-Pumped Solid State (LPSS) Lasers As the trailblazer for many modern day laser designs, LPSS lasers are a mature technology that have been around since the invention of the first laser. The ...

Introduction to Ultrafast Lasers The ultrafast laser is a category of laser that emits ultrashort light pulses with time spans of femtoseconds or picoseconds. To put this in perspective, ultrafast lasers ...
