A ”MAGIC MIRROR” that could greatly enhance the usefulness of lasers has been developed by University of California scientists. The new mirror, called the phase-conjugate mirror, reflects light ...

Light that strikes a new and improved mirror is always returned to sender. South Korean physicists have created a composite mirror, made up of about a thousand tiny reflectors, that coaxes light waves ...

Fluorescence imaging is one of the most important research tools in biomedical sciences. However, scattering of light severely impedes imaging of thick biological samples beyond the ballistic regime.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical process where incident laser light interacts with acoustic phonons within a medium, leading to the generation of frequency-shifted light ...
