New phenomenon discovered that fixes a common problem in lasers: Wavelength splitting

February 7, 2019

A team led by University of Utah physicists has discovered how to fix a major problem that occurs in lasers made from a new type of material called quantum dots. The never-before-seen phenomenon will be important for an emerging field of photonics research, including one day making micro-chips that code information using light instead of […]
