Light Quantum Fluids are Being Manipulated by Scientists, Bringing us Closer to Next-generation Unconventional Computing
According to a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, a team of physicists made a quantum leap forward in spatial manipulation and energy control…
Quantum Dot Laser – a type of semiconductor laser
A quantum dot laser is a semiconductor laser in which quantum dots serve as the active medium. It is a semiconductor laser with a light…
Thermo-optic Coefficient
A material’s thermo-optic coefficient is the change in refractive index as a function of temperature. This value is likewise affected by the material’s current temperature…
Cyclotron Turnover
One of two mechanisms that cause the power spectrum of synchrotron radiation to drop at very low frequencies is cyclotron turnover. Synchrotron self-absorption is the…
Total External Reflection
Total external reflection is a phenomena that, in theory, can involve any sort of electromagnetic or other wave and is closely connected to total internal…
Synchrotron Radiation
Synchrotron radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation produced when charged particles, mainly electrons, are accelerated in a circular route within a synchrotron facility. It…
Cyclotron Radiation
The electromagnetic radiation released by non-relativistic speeding charged particles deflected by a magnetic field is known as cyclotron radiation. It is a type of electromagnetic…
Ring Lasers
Ring lasers are made up of two beams of light with the same polarization going in opposite directions in a closed loop (“counter-rotating”). These are…
Total Internal Reflection – in Physics
Total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon in which waves arriving at the interface (boundary) of one medium to another (e.g., water to air) are…
Free-electron Laser
A free-electron laser (FEL) is a fourth-generation light source that produces exceptionally bright and brief radiation pulses. It is a type of laser that uses…
Optical Ring Resonator
An optical ring resonator is a collection of waveguides, at least one of which is a closed loop with light input and output. (These can…
