Breakthrough frees tiny, powerful laser equipment from the laboratory – AlKhaleej Today

Researchers have developed a portable version of a tiny, powerful laser device that has potential applications in areas from medical imaging to hidden explosive detection. In a project involving the University of Waterloo and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), scientists developed a quantum cascade laser that can operate at temperatures much higher than previously possible.
That means the technology can now be used to generate terahertz radiation outside the laboratory, using only…
