While there is no shortage of skincare products on the market, there are times when cleansers, scrubs, physical exfoliators, and serums, simply won't cut it. Enter: laser treatments, specifically, ...

Fiber lasers use an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements (erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, etc.) as their optical gain source. They emit high-quality beams, they are efficient and durable, and ...

Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...

Erbium-doped laser systems have become increasingly significant in modern photonics, offering unique advantages in the eye‐safe wavelength region around 1.5 µm and widespread utility in ...

A laser fired at a sheet of titanium dioxide changes the configuration of the crystal where it hits – a technique, developed by the quantum startup memQ, that enables scientists to design a more ...

Laser energy can be used to debond ceramic brackets, according to a study in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (August 2010, Vol. 138:2, pp. 195-200). Researchers from ...

Optical image of a hybrid integrated erbium-doped photonic integrated circuit-based laser, providing fiber-laser coherence and previously unachievable frequency tunability. Lasers have revolutionized ...

Optical image of a fully-packaged hybrid integrated erbium-laser based on silicon nitride photonic integrated circuit, providing fiber-laser coherence and previously unachievable frequency tunability.

(Nanowerk News) Lasers have revolutionized the world since the 60’s and are now indispensable in modern applications, from cutting-edge surgery and precise manufacturing to data transmission across ...
