New Ideas For X-Ray Lasers

09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily

At the 10th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers in Berlin, a novel design for X-ray lasers was the leading topic of many presentations. The organizers themselves have proposed a new solution to the problem. Scientists world-wide are working on lasers with shorter and shorter wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength applied, the smaller the structures one can see, investigate and produce.

  9. Laser sets records in power and energy efficiency
    07-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Northwestern University researchers have made strides in laser design, material growth and laser fabrication that have greatly increased the output power and wall-plug efficiency of quantum cascade lasers. They have demonstrated individual lasers, 300 of which can easily fit on a penny, emitting at wavelengths of 4.5 microns, capable of producing over 700 milliwatts of continuous output power at room temperature and more than one watt of output power at lower temperatures.
