CHICAGO Reuters - The laser -- a 50-year-old invention now used in everything from CDs to laser pointers -- has met its match in the "antilaser," the first device capable of trapping and canceling out laser beams.
-
And while the technology seems cool, his antilaser would never be used as a potential laser shield.
-
To build the antilaser, which Cao and colleagues call a "coherent perfect absorber," the researchers split a beam from a titanium-sapphire laser in two.
