Rochester Researchers Use Spectral Filter in Kerr Resonator to Create Highly Chirped Laser Pulses
Researchers have produced ultrashort, extremely high-energy (chirped) laser pulses using a spectral filter in a Kerr resonator. The pulses created in the work remained stable in low quality-factor resonators, despite large dissipation.

Thin-Film Approach and Monochromatic Laser Light Set Mark for Photovoltaic Cell Efficiency
Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have achieved a conversion efficiency of 68.9% for a III-V semiconductor photovoltaic cell based on gallium arsenide (GaAs) exposed to laser light of 858 nm. The mark is reportedly the highest efficiency yet achieved for the conversion of light into electricity.
