Femtosecond laser pulses have revolutionised the fabrication of intricate nanostructures within glass, opening avenues for advanced photonic devices and data storage solutions. By utilising ultrashort ...
When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...
Just as an antenna interacts with radio waves, light interacts with metallic nanostructures. Therefore, understanding how a ...
Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...
Is it possible to make a femtosecond laser entirely out of glass? That’s the rabbit hole that Yves Bellouard, head of EPFL’s Galatea Laboratory, went down after years of spending hours – and hours – ...
Researchers at the University of Oxford and collaborators have used femtosecond laser pulses to activate individual ...
Researchers demonstrate that femtosecond laser-induced transient Pauli blocking can achieve ultrafast, broadband optical switching from visible to near-infrared. (Nanowerk News) Recent decades have ...
The advent of information age is accompanied by the rapid growth of digital information, which is in urgent need for the development of huge storage space and security media. Optical storage ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
After decades of research and development, humanity finally has a data storage medium that will outlast us.… The 5D Memory Crystal stores data by using tiny voxels – 3D pixels – in fused silica glass, ...
Using high-speed lasers, researchers have created "5D" data storage technology that could allow 500 TB of data to be written to a CD-sized glass disc, according to the Optica society. The technique ...
A research team figured out a way to write data onto wafers of glass using lasers, and that glass can hold the data for 10,000 years.
