Distributed Feedback Could Help Induce Plasmonic Lasers to Emit Narrow Beam of Light

Lasers have become indispensable to modern life since they were invented more than fifty years ago. The ability to generate and amplify light waves into a coherent, monochromatic and well-focused beam has yielded applications too numerous to count: laser scanners, laser printers, laser surgery, laser-based data storage, ultrafast data communications via laser light, and the list goes on.

Quantitative Framework for Cloaking Devices’ Performance Set by Scientists

Researchers at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas have successfully quantified the basic physical constrains of cloaking systems. Cloaking systems are devices that are used to conceal objects from electromagnetic waves such as microwaves, visible light, infrared and radio waves, by making them undetectable or invisible.

Multifunctional Ultrathin, Flat Lens Could Replace Bulky, Costly Machines Used for Testing Chirality

The natural world has several objects that are geometrically chiral. It is not possible to superimpose chiral objects onto their mirror image. For instance, human hands are mirror images, and so transplanting the right hand onto the left would be ridiculous. Amino acids, DNA and certain other molecules are said to be chiral.
