Reimagining the laser: new ideas from quantum theory could herald a revolution – The Conversation AU
For 60 years, physicists thought they knew exactly how coherent a laser could get. Now the ultimate quantum limit to laser coherence has been found, and it’s much…
Lasers were created 60 years ago this year, when three different laser devices were unveiled by independent laboratories in the United States. A few years later, one of these inventors called the unusual light sources a solution seeking a problem. Today, the laser has been applied to countless problems in science, medicine and everyday technologies, with a market of more than US$11 billion per year.
A crucial difference between lasers and traditional sources of light is the temporal coherence of…
