This laser has potential applications in areas including pollution detection, climate monitoring, and remote sensing, according to Nanfang Yu, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and one of the authors of the study...
...wanted to create integrated optical components for lasers,” said Nanfang Yu, a fifth-year graduate student in engineering who helped lead the project. “Conventionally people use old types of optical components to control polarization...these are very expensive. Our approach is to make microscopic, metallic structures...
...lucky ones, though the 55-year-old woman lying in her narrow metal bed in the pneumonia ward of Guangzhou's Nanfang Hospital doesn't look it.
