Since the invention of the laser, there has been a continuous effort to increase its coherence. High temporal and spatial coherence is what makes lasers

Newton’s third law states that the action-reaction forces involved in an elemental two-body interaction must be equal and opposite. Combined with the second law of

Due to negative forces, surface-bound droplets move opposite to the directio of illumination. After Nature Photonics 7, 787 (2013).   Light induces mechanical action in

Professor Sasan Fathpour and members of his research team (Research Scientist Dr. P. Rabiei, and graduate students J. Ma, S. Khan and J. Chiles) have developed a new way of integrating

When thinking of an optical fiber, one usually imagines the thin strands of glass that extend for thousands of kilometers around the globe forming the

The quest for the shortest attosecond laser pulse has been underway since the first demonstration of such light sources in 2001. Single attosecond pulses with
