Traditional high-power lasers are bulky and require equipment that can be used on portable platforms. Engineers at the University of Texas at Arlington in Arlington are working to develop a semiconductor laser that solves these problems. The high-energy laser pointer joint technical office launched a five-year, multi-disciplinary research project with an investment of 3 million US dollars…

University of Texas Researchers Will Develop Power Scalable Semiconductor Lasers
Traditional high-power lasers are bulky and the equipment required makes them difficult to use on portable platforms. But engineers from the University of Texas at Arlington are working hard to develop a semiconductor laser pointer that solves these problems. A professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, as a five-year,…
US Researchers Use Laser Cooling to Solve Scientific Problems
The research team of the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently announced that it has solved a difficult scientific problem, namely how to control the quantum properties of a single charged molecule or molecular ion. The key is to use similar “quantum logic” operations that are intended for future quantum computer operations. New technologies,…
