US militarys air optical fiber increases the power of laser weapons, networks, science
2014-07-24 16:43:04| Extremetech
Researchers in the US, funded by the US military and the National Science Foundation, have managed to turn air into an "optical fiber." This breakthrough allows the scientists to turn thin air into an optical waveguide, allowing for much better transmission of lasers through free space -- much in the same way that glass and plastic waveguides allow for efficient transmission of laser light over long stretches of optical fiber. As you might have guessed from the US military's involvement, this could be big news for laser weapons -- but there are repercussions for laser-based communications and scientific research as well.

The polariton laser: With 250x lower power consumption, could this be the answer to on-chip optical interconnects?
2014-07-23 20:34:19| Extremetech
Engineers at the University of Michigan and Intel have succeeded in creating the first practical, room-temperature polariton laser. The polariton laser is of extreme interest because it requires just 0.004% of the current required by normal lasers, making it a prime candidate for use with on-chip optical interconnects. It is also believed that the polariton laser is the first new practical method of producing coherent laser light since the laser diode debuted more than 50 years ago in 1962.
