Making light of silicon: Finally, lasers from the low-cost semiconductor

Article Abstract:

Two research groups, one at the University of California at Los Angeles and the other at the Intel Corporation have reported success in making silicon emit continuous laser light. Such silicon lasers could lead to affordable light-based systems, which harness photons instead of electrons to shuttle huge amounts of data at multigigabit-per-second rates.

Beam weapons get real

Article Abstract:

High power lasers that are capable of firing a beam from aircraft, naval ships or armored vehicles, provide precise, speed-of-light strike capabilities thus offering several advantages over conventional projectile weapons.
