Capasso has expanded upon the Quantum Cascade Laser that debuted in 1994 by combining an array of multiple lasers emitting light of varying wavelengths in a tiny, more portable chip...
...Using the array, you can choose to fire a laser wavelength that corresponds to a molecule’s absorption, and when you see how much light has been absorbed, you can see how much of that molecule is present,” said Benjamin G. Lee, Capasso’s research assistant...
Applications of the laser chip may radiate into environmental sciences, as it will soon monitor the changing concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions, Capasso said. He, along with atmospheric chemistry professor James G. Anderson, plans to collaborate with NASA to send lasers into the stratosphere to study the effects of global warming...
...street artists with innovative, open-source technology. Given that L.A.S.E.R. Tag can be operated from hundreds of feet away, the opportunities for subversion are tantalizing. A message can be written on the face of a major public building and the perpetrators long gone before the authorities pinpoint where the laser came from. In a more everyday context, L.A.S.E.R. Tag's ability to allow artists to get their messages across without any permanent defacement of buildings may well increase public support for the art form. And ultimately, it is graffiti for a tech-savvy generation. "Kids these days are born with...
...Along with co-founder Evan Roth, Powderly taught classes at New York's Parsons School of Design, and over the past year they have showcased the laser technology in Mexico City, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Vienna. Last month they showed up at a Taipei conference on new media and left behind equipment as a gift for a local graffiti group. Next summer, Powderly and Roth will travel to Beijing...
