The creator of a computer that uses lasers to perform complex tasks at the speed of light has announced a breakthrough in high-performance computing

Light has angular momentum properties. Circularly polarized or elliptically polarized beams carry spin angular momentum (SAM), while beams with helical phase wavefronts carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). During the interaction between light and particles, the transfer of angular momentum can generate optical torque, driving particles to rotate. Among them, the transfer of optical spin angular m...

Recently, high-power blue laser manufacturer NUBURU announced the official launch of a working group consisting of a joint management team from the company and the target defense technology enterprise, which was part of the previous acquisition plan. According to the joint research and development agreement signed by NUBURU in March, the working group will also be responsible for overseeing the ...

Recently, the State Key Laboratory of Transient Optics and Photonics Technology of Xi'an Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics has made new progress in the research of intelligent optical microscopic imaging, and the research results were published online in the international high-level academic journal Opto Electronic Advances (IF: 15.3). The first author of the paper is Tian Xuan, a 2024 doctor...

The US Department of Energy recently allocated $42 million to support the development of laser fusion technology and designated three new research and innovation centers. This strategic investment aims to promote laser based nuclear fusion to play an important role as a clean and sustainable energy source in the future. Trumpf is one of the main participants known for its laser expertise and activ...

Zhang Jun, an academician team of Beijing University of Technology, pioneered the on chip spectral multiplexing perception architecture, and independently developed the first 100 channel megapixel hyperspectral real-time imaging device in the world, creating the world's highest light energy utilization rate. On November 7, the team's relevant achievements were published in the journal Nature, and ...
