A massive green and blue laser beam was spotted in the San Francisco sky earlier this week, and despite plenty of speculation online, no one seemed to know much about its purpose or origin – until now ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

Turin, Italy-based laser module manufacturer Convergent Photonics is developing new sources for high-power industrial and mid-power medical laser applications thanks to the introduction of a new ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of optical ...

After a test run with confusingly coincidental origins, a massive blue laser will once again light up Grace Cathedral this month. Illuminate — the arts nonprofit that lit up the Bay Bridge — and the ...

A pilot blindly landed a two-person airplane after a bright blue laser beam was aimed into the cockpit, damaging his eyes soon before landing, federal prosecutors said. Christopher W. Harris is ...
