Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...

With a single leap from tabletop to the microscale, engineers have produced the world's first practical Titanium-sapphire laser on a chip, democratizing a once-exclusive technology. As lasers go, ...

In modern microchips, where some transistors have been shrunk to less than a 10th of the size of a Covid-19 virus, it doesn't take much to mess with the minuscule electrical charges that serve as the ...

Osram Opto Semiconductors has introduced the first compact laser multi-chip package. The PLPM4 450 module can pack up to 20 blue laser chips into a single "butterfly" package for projection ...
