We've all heard that "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." And that’s usually fine when it comes to tasks at work or baking your own birthday cake. But if you want a specific ...

Lasers are cool and all, but they can be somewhat difficult to control at times. This is especially true when you have hundreds, thousands, or millions of lasers you need to steer. Fortunately, the ...

Laser eye surgery, which some people call LASIK surgery, can correct several eyeight conditions, including near and farsightedness. Not everyone can have the procedure, including those who have had a ...

Laser-produced plasmas are plasmas produced by firing high-intensity beams of light. Laser-produced plasmas have been used to create short bursts of x-rays and to accelerate particles — so-called ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
