A new diode-pumped solid-state laser offers the technology to complete the triad of red, green, and blue sources needed to produce full-color images.

Functional violet-light InGaN laser minibars enable novel high-speed printing and display applications.

Recent advances in the design and fabrication of mid-IR lasers pave the way for important applications such as countermeasures and remote sensing.

Photon subtraction and addition do not obey the rules of conventional arithmetic; however, quantum-mechanical arithmetic can be proven experimentally.

Significant promise for mid-IR sensing applications is shown by both grating-coupled ring lasers and monolithic Mach-Zehnder laser interferometers.

A passive mechanical approach to minimizing motion makes it possible for sophisticated instruments such as scanning probe microscopes to operate in environments that would otherwise not be practical.

Electrically driving a flowable laser gain medium is key to high output beam quality.

Advantages in efficiency, beam quality, scalability, and operating cost make new optical fiber technology highly competitive compared to traditional laser designs.
