Happy Birthday Laser! #SeeTheLight #IDL2020
n May 16th 1960 Theodore Maiman saw laser light for the first time. How can we celebrate this major event for photonics in times of Corona and social distancing? As is well known, soon after Maiman’s initial laser demonstration, someone – just who is a matter of dispute – quipped that the laser was “a solution looking for a problem”.
New record for quality (“Q”) factors of terahertz resonators
Record Q factors at THz frequencies measured with TOPTICA’s TeraScan 1550 at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) Researchers at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) have set a new record for quality (“Q”) factors of terahertz resonators. The team, led by Dominik Vogt and Rainer Leonhardt, machined subwavelength-thin discs of high-resistivity silicon.
Join the webinar on "Optical Frequency Combs and Their Role in Modern Laser Cooling and Trapping Systems"
This webinar will focus on laser cooling and trapping which has recently seen a shift from purely fundamental research toward a focus on increased application-driven effort such as quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum metrology.
