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 – ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . We did not have a femtosecond laser in our practice, so we started implanting CAIRS manually, and it has been so ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers say novel technique is key to future types of quantum computer. Kaushalya Jhuria in the lab testing the experimental setup. Networked quantum computers have the potential to solve complex ...

Over billions of years of evolution, many organisms in nature have exhibited unique surface wettability. For example, lotus leaves have the self-cleaning function. Water striders can walk on water.

Researchers develop an industry-scalable method to tune thermal conductivity in thin films using femtosecond lasers. (Nanowerk News) Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used ...

In this work, a gigahertz burst mode femtosecond laser was used to produce LIPSS to study its capacity to form novel microscale and nanoscale structures. The team discovered that the GHz burst mode ...

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 ...
