Scientists have developed a method for generating fast, bright proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma accelerator. This work, published in Nature Communications, resolves several ...

Perhaps the most precise method of guiding munitions to a target is with a laser device, ‘painting’ the target so that munitions can lock on and follow the beam. However, in order to do this, military ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – U.S. Army land warfare experts are asking electro-optics engineers at Safran Optics 1 Inc. in Bedford, N.H., for additional next-generation laser target locator systems.

During its Pacific patrol last year, the USS Preble successfully shot down an unmanned aerial target using its High-Energy Laser with Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance (HELIOS) system.

PhotonMatrix is an early-stage mosquito control system that eliminates flying insects using short-range laser pulses after detecting them in real time with lidar. The current prototype is capable of ...
