Unlike an ordinary, incandescent bulb, a laser produces light of a single wavelength. Moreover, the emitted light waves are coherent, meaning that all of the energy peaks and troughs are precisely in step.
Now, a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has demonstrated experimentally that a clo... | fwe2-CC-MAIN-2013-20-02582000 |
