Successful Measurement of the Time Intervals that Enable the Direct Measurement of Electrons in Laser Induced Ionisation

Physicists have worked on the quantum physics description of the tunnelling
effect for 60 years. The group led by Ursula Keller has now for the first time
succeeded in measuring time intervals that enable the direct measurement of
the tunnelling time of electrons in laser-induced ionisation.

Princeton Engineers Develop New Type of Laser for Medical Applications

A Princeton-led team of researchers has discovered an entirely new mechanism for making common electronic materials emit laser beams. The finding could lead to lasers that operate more efficiently and at higher temperatures than existing devices, and find applications in environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics.

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) Label-Free Imaging Technique Set to Revolutionize Biomedical Imaging

The key to this new chemical imaging technique is the use of two lasers with different frequencies. Researchers visualize samples by tuning the laser frequencies to match the vibrational frequency of a specific chemical bond. Each type of molecule within a sample, including nutrients or drugs, is detectable at a unique frequency.

High-Reflective Thin-Film Coatings for Laser Applications

Both coatings are designed to minimize group velocity dispersion and third order dispersion, maintaining close to a transform-limited pulse performance in ultrafast laser systems. They are available for 0 and 45° angle of incidence operation, and they are available on 25 and 50 mm diameter fused silica substrates.
