(Nanowerk News) Dielectric optical microresonators confine and concentrate light in a tiny circular path due to multiple near total internal reflections at the curved dielectric-air interface, where ...
The optoelectronic properties of topological insulators have many attractions, including a robustness to defects, imperfections and sharp corners. This robustness inspired a group of scientists to ...
Suppression of long-lived energetic states called triplet excitons shown to be key for preventing the "lasing death" that has been limiting long operation An international team of researchers led by ...
In a first for the field, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported a photopumped lasing from a buried dielectric ...
When a water droplet interacts with a surface to form a contact angle, the interfacial molecular forces determine the geometry of a droplet resonator. Dramatic mechanical changes at the interface play ...
The team's experimental setup: Atoms are cooled and slowed inside a vacuum chamber, until they can be trapped in a lattice inside a cavity (black triangular cavity spacer in the bottom half of the ...
A layer of perovskite is shown lasing green under continuous operation at room temperature. Credit: Chuanjiang Qin, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences On paper, ...
A Los Alamos National Laboratory team has overcome key challenges toward technologically viable high-intensity light emitters based on colloidal quantum dot technology, resulting in dual-function ...
New research shows that lasing for over one hour at room temperature can be achieved from low-cost quasi-2D perovskite materials by properly managing losses caused by triplet excitons. This new ...
