New research at MSU uses light to reveal viruses’ unique vibrations, opening new doors for biological imaging and antiviral ...

That’s where lidar comes in. Like radar, but using light, lidar sends beams from a plane or satellite towards the ground. By measuring the time it takes for the light to be reflected ...

in free-space laser communication based on the shape of a laser beam spot on a flat surface. Two methods are introduced: one where ellipses are fitted to the intensity contour of the beam spot, and ...

Here, we report the mapping of optical modes in a waveguide structure by illumination with femtosecond light pulses in a continuous-beam ... microscope–a modified JEOL JEM-F200 multipurpose ...

The U.S. Air Force’s United Operational Test Team has released for the first time a GBU-54 Laser Joint Direct Attack Munition, or LJDAM, from an F-35 aircraft. The team carried out the weapon ...
