Room-Temperature Sub-Diffraction-Limited Plasmon Laser

Plasmon lasers can provide new capabilities for bio-sensing, data storage, photolithography, and optical communications.

Lasers present the means to deliver powerful, coherent, and directional high-frequency electromagnetic energy. However, the diffraction limit of light imposes fundamental constraints on how compact such photonic devices can be and their potential for ...

Rare-Earth-Doped Soft Glass Optical Fibers for Coherent Wavelength Sources Above 2 Microns

These fiber lasers have potential uses in eye-safe LIDAR systems for defense applications.

Rare-earth-doped soft glass optical fibers were developed and characterized for fiber lasers emitting at wavelengths longer than 2 microns to allow efficient narrow line-width emission in the atmospheric window for coherent detection and LIDAR and DIAL ...
