Ultrafast Measurement Technique Shows How Laser Pulses Begin
Researchers have demonstrated how laser pulses emerge from noise, then collapse and oscillate before stabilizing. The discovery was made possible by real-time measurement of the laser’s temporal intensity with subpicosecond resolution and the laser’s optical spectrum with subnanometer resolution.

Optical Tool Uses Fluorescence to Detect Metabolic Changes
Optical Tool Uses Fluorescence to Detect Metabolic Changes
An optical tool that can read metabolism at subcellular resolution could be used to identify specific metabolic signatures indicative of disease. The method detects functional and structural metabolic biomarkers noninvasively using endogenous two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) from two coenzymes.
