Adaptive laser beam shaping with a deformable mirror enables efficient energy and material usage in laser welding and ...

The researchers are now able to further increase the amplitude of the scan angle multiplier by making additional changes inside their invention. They have started a company, called Pacific Optica, to ...

Nuclear physicists have shattered a nearly 30-year-old record for precision in electron beam polarimetry. The groundbreaking result sets the stage for high-profile experiments that could open the door ...

Neutrino lasers: It’s an idea that many physicists didn’t see coming. At first glance, physics suggests that it would be impossible to make a laser of neutrinos, famously elusive subatomic particles.

Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...

Coherent beam combining (CBC) in fiber laser systems represents a transformative approach to surmount the inherent power scaling limitations of individual fiber laser emitters. By precisely ...

A guided-missile destroyer at sea doesn’t need a missile to show it is ready. In a Navy-run drill, a bright beam came off the deck of USS Preble and held on target long enough to do damage, not just ...
