Record-breaking laser pulses
October 14, 2024
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a laser that produces the strongest ultra-short laser pulses to date. In the future, such high power pulses could be used for precision measurements or materials processing
- Researchers have developed a laser that can produce extremely short pulses with peak powers up to 100 megawatts and 550 watts of average power.
- This was made possible by an optimized arrangement of the mirrors in the laser and improvements of a special mirror, which causes the laser to emit pulses.
- In the future, the record-breaking laser pulses could, for example, be used for precision measurements.
