Israeli scientists create world’s first water-wave laser
December 3rd, 2016
The world’s first ‘water-wave laser’ emits a beam through the interaction of light and water waves created by the Scientists from Israel. The study conducted by team of researchers from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology led by Professor Tal Carmon. A typical laser can be created when the electrons in atoms become “excited” by energy absorbed from an outside source causing them to emit radiation in the form of laser light.However, the water-wave laser for the first time showed that water wave oscillations within a liquid device can also generate laser radiation. It also successfully demonstrated nonlinear optics and water waves, two areas of research that were previously considered unrelated to one another.
