Plasmons Enable Tunable IR Light Source
A nanoscale optical parametric amplifier (OPA) has been demonstrated to function as a tunable IR light source. The device functions much like a laser; but while lasers have a fixed output frequency, the output from the nanoscale OPA can be tuned over a range of frequencies, including a portion of the IR spectrum. The device boosts the output of one light by capturing and converting energy from a second light.

Laser Bonding Strengthens Carbon Fiber Joints
A laser-based method for joining carbon fiber composites and aluminum for lightweight cars and other multimaterial, high-end products promises to produce more-robust joints at a lower cost. The process, developed by a team led by Adrian Sabau of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, would replace the practice of preparing the surface of the materials by hand using abrasive pads, grit blasting and environmentally harmful solvents.
