Amateur Science-Strong Tradition, Bright Future

Article Abstract:

The hard work and findings of amateur scientists have had quite an impact on the larger scientific community and their history is recounted. The observations made by this group of as well as their contributions have made it into many scientific books and publications. The feeling of the professional community toward the practice of amateurs and students scientists are given.

Fast, cheap, and very bright: semiconductor lasers

Article Abstract:

Data communications and other uses for cheap, high-performance lasers have been advanced with vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), now commercialized after 20 years in development. The latest advance is the use of highly homogeneous layers of quantum dots as the active medium.
