• Scientists Propose New Type Of Terahertz Solid-State Laser

  …uency by simply changing the frequency or amplitude of the outer “dressing” field,” comments Vanik Shahnazaryan. Electromagnetic “dressing” here means the mode of a strong interaction between the substance (the simplest method to modeling it is by using a two-state quantum system) and external laser radiation. In this case, the presence of laser radiation has a …

• ITMO Scientists Develop New “White” Near-Field Optical Microscope

  … microscope, visual light is focused using special lenses. However, if the object is less than a wavelength in size, it cannot be observed in detail. This is what is called the diffraction limit. The explanation for this phenomenon is such: the electromagnetic field that carries information about the object with a spatial resolution of less than the size of a wavelen…
