Laser Lighting Effects. Display lasers are used to create dramatic effects and are especially popular for staged entertainment shows.

The effect occurs because the green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating laser beam, creating a matching region in the illuminating light with lower optical intensity.

A new solid-state laser can make a vast number of precise optical measurements each second, while sweeping across a broad ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Cold laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level laser treatment, beams light into your knee to heal damaged tissue and relieve pain. Find out how it works, how many treatments ...

A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid. Their paper is published in the journal Nature. The ...

That effect allowed the team to determine how the magnetic field changed near the YBCO as it was bombarded with light at temperature normally above the YBCO’s superconducting limit.
