University of California, Los Angeles Joins the American High Power Laser Facility Alliance

Although lasers are common in daily life, their applications go far beyond the scope of light shows and barcode reading. They play a crucial role in telecommunications, computer science, and research in biology, chemistry, and physics. In the latter field, lasers that can emit extremely short pulses are particularly useful, approximately one trillionth of a second or less.By operating these lasers...

In the constantly evolving field of technology and data communication, researchers have made significant breakthroughs: developing a continuous wave O-band quantum dot semiconductor comb laser for wavelength division multiplexing optical interconnection. With its impressive performance characteristics, this development is expected to completely change the way we manage and transmit data, especiall...

Topological laser (TL) is an ideal light source for future new optoelectronic integrated chips, designed and manufactured using topological optics principles to obtain robust single-mode lasers. Electrically pumped topology lasers have become a research hotspot due to their small size and ease of integration, but topology lasers based on electrical injection are still in the early stages of resear...
