Scientists show that it is possible to make a femtosecond laser that fits in the palm of one's hand using a glass substrate. Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That's ...

When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...

Halide perovskite materials exhibit broad application potential in fields such as information storage, lasers, anti-counterfeiting, and planar lenses due to their unique optoelectronic properties. The ...

A project at Swiss research center EPFL has manufactured a palm-sized all-glass GHz femtosecond laser cavity, potentially offering a novel route to free-space femtosecond lasers. Conventional ...

Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used to control thermal conductivity in thin film solids, report researchers from Japan. Their innovative method, which leverages ...

Atomic-scale laser treatment enhances laser-induced graphene for efficient electrothermal heating and water purification through improved conductivity and structure. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Graphene’s ...

Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That’s the rabbit hole that Yves Bellouard, head of EPFL’s Galatea Laboratory, went down after years of spending hours – and hours – ...
