The experimental setup shown here incorporates on-chip optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology to generate a frequency comb of laser-like light covering a wide range of frequencies with very ...

Modern photonic chips can pack sophisticated optical functions onto devices smaller than a fingernail. They are increasingly used to generate, manipulate and measure light for applications ranging ...

High-frequency light is useful. The higher the frequency of light, the shorter its wavelength—and the shorter the wavelength, the smaller the objects and details the light can be used to see. Extreme ...

Laser-like light that spans a wide range of frequencies is a powerful tool for science and industry. From semiconductor chip manufacturing to advanced imaging and spectroscopy, broadband coherent ...

Researchers at TU Wien and UC San Diego have created the first continuously tunable X-ray harmonic source, sliding smoothly ...

Ultrashort laser pulses can be used to generate X-rays. Normally, however, only certain specific frequencies are produced. A team from TU Wien and the University of California San Diego has developed ...

The world would look radically different without rulers and measuring tapes that fit into a pocket. Carpenters, fashion designers and engineers rely on these trusty tools to check the size of ...

A team led by JILA Fellows and CU Boulder professors Margaret Murnane and Henry Kapteyn has made a significant advance to make soft X-rays more accessible: with their research group, they have ...

Multi-media artist, Robert Mathy, has come up with a device for the hands that converts light frequencies into acoustic sound. In the high-tech, Fantasia-esque video below he experiments with the ...

I guess it's like how we use the square root of minus one to solve various equations. It sounda impossible but actually works! Click to expand... Sort've, but I don't think they're going into the ...
