source:Science NewsIsraeli and German researchers have developed a way to force an array of vertical cavity lasers to act together as a single laser -- a highly effective laser network the size of a grain of sand. The findings are presented in a new joint research paper published online by the journal Science on Friday, September 24.Cell phones, car sensors or data transmission in fiber optic networks are all using so called Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) -- semiconductor lasers that are firmly anchored in our everyday technology. Though widely used, the VCSEL device has mini...

source:NatureAn array of 30 lasers that acts as a single light source represents a key step towards the development of large-scale, high-powered lasers on a microchip1.Microchip lasers are tiny devices found in items ranging from computer mice to mobile phones. The power emitted by a single such laser is low. Arrays of lasers are typically more powerful than individual ones, but it has been difficult to produce an array of chip-based lasers that emit light waves that oscillate in step. Such synchronized, or ‘coherent’, light is a key property of a laser beam.Mordechai Segev at the Technion–Isr...
