Spectral shaper provides control over 10K laser frequency comb lines: https://bit.ly/4oeurBn

By substituting a spatial light modulator for the camera typically used in spectrographs, it could help astronomers detect exoplanets by making tiny stellar wobbles easier to measure.

ICYMI....This portable Raman analyzer detects gas leaks from a distance: https://bit.ly/485GxqO

The tech uses a robust enhancement mechanism, where blue pump light and Raman scattered light from hydrogen are reflected multiple times in a multipass cavity to detect very low H2 concentrations. 💡 ⚛️ 🧪

Happy "Hollow"-ween 🎃

This image was captured by coupling light from a supercontinuum source into a 3-m length of anti-resonant hollow-core fibers and then bending a section of the ARF into a tight bend diameter.

Chip-based phonon splitter brings hybrid quantum networks closer to reality: https://bit.ly/3KFOZUB

The coupler acts like a junction in a #quantum postal route to split, route or recombine single quantum vibrations to send excitations made in one processor to others on the same chip. #OPG_OpticaQ💡⚛️
