Asia’s Scientific Trailblazers: G. Ravindra Kumar
Science is an uphill task, but one that laser physicist Professor G. Ravindra Kumar relishes and is deeply passionate about.
Corralling Calcium Ions With Lasers
With the help of non-damaging near-infrared lasers, researchers can now precisely control the capture and release of calcium ions in vivo.
China Hosts World’s Brightest Vacuum Ultra Violet Laser Facility
The world's brightest vacuum ultra violet light free electron laser research facility can be found in China.
A (Laser) Shocking Way To Predict How Earth-Type Planets Form
Using a technique called laser shock, researchers in Japan have provided insights into how Earth-type planets form when giant asteroids collide.
Terahertz Laser Output Breaks Previous Record
The new terahertz quantum cascade laser has a record output power of up to 230 milliwatts, and may have applications in medical imaging and airport security.
In Nanolasers, A Little Impurity Goes A Long Way
By adding impurities in the form of zinc atoms, researchers have improved nanolaser light emission by a hundredfold.
Lasers + Silicon Wafers = Boost To Big Data
By fabricating tiny lasers directly on silicon wafers, researchers can integrate photonics with electronics, and with greater efficiency too.
Ultra-Intense Lasers Empty Atoms From The Inside Out
The J-KAREN femtosecond laser facility has been used to generate X-rays with a radiative temperature of 15,000,000°C.
Ultrashort Laser Bursts To Bridge The Terahertz Gap
By creating grooves and ripples on the surface of terahertz emitting devices, scientists were able to enhance terahertz emission significantly, overcoming the ‘terahertz gap.’
