an attractive characteristic of laser light is that of phase coherence, meaning that information may be encoded in both the amplitude and phase of the electromagnetic wave. For optical processing ...

An AFM works by using a minuscule sharp probe. The instrument detects deflections in the probe, often using a piezoelectric transducer or a laser sensor. By moving the probe against a surface and ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have invented an entirely new field of microscopy called nuclear spin ...

"The quantum sensors used make it possible to convert magnetic resonance signals into optical signals ... When irradiated with laser light, it generates a fluorescent signal containing the ...

"Some time ago, our group was thinking a lot about using an optical spring to ... picometers required for the laser light to enter the cavity near its natural resonance frequency," explained ...

along with a comprehensive illustration of leveraging ultrafast plasmonics for all-optical switching and pulse laser ...
