Femtosecond laser writing is a transformative technique that utilises ultrashort laser pulses to locally modify the refractive index of a material, enabling the fabrication of intricate ...

Meanwhile, DLW, based on the interaction between light and matter, is an efficient, contactless, mask free, and depth-resolved micro-patterning technique. It is typically performed by coupling a laser ...

Silica nanochannels with diameters of only 30 nm and an aspect ratio of more than 200 recently were created in silica by researchers from China’s Xi’an Jiaotong University. These nanochannels are, ...

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a fast and energy-efficient laser-writing method for producing high-density nanostructures in silica glass. These tiny structures can be used for long-term five ...

A project at Penn State University has taken a step towards environmental sensors better able to detect multiple gas species simultaneously. The new approach exploits advances in laser writing ...

High-power lasers are often used to modify polymer surfaces to make high-tech biomedical products, electronics and data storage components. Now researchers have discovered a light-responsive, ...

A project at Brazil's Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) has manufactured sensors for potential use in medical and industrial applications by laser writing onto fallen leaves. Published in ACS ...

Quantum communication has long promised unbreakable encryption, but the hardware has struggled to escape the lab. A new generation of laser-written glass chips is changing that equation, carving three ...

Writing with a laser pointer has been done, but [Chris]’s roll your own version feeds the data the display pc using VNC. He’s got some speed issues, but I’m giving him points for most original use for ...

Metal halide perovskites have become well-deserved “star” materials among a variety of semiconductors owing to their excellent optoelectronics properties, such as high photoluminescence (PL) quantum ...
