The new saser uses phonons – sound waves composed of sonic vibrations – rather than photons. (Courtesy: J Christensen) Researchers in China and Spain have succeeded in making a saser – the equivalent ...

(Nanowerk News) It was an idea born out of curiosity in the physics lab, but now a new type of ‘laser’ for generating ultra-high frequency sound waves instead of light has taken a major step towards ...

Half a century since the first working laser kick-started a technological revolution in the field of optics, a new device promises to do the same for acoustics. UK and Ukrainian physicists have built ...

Scientists at Nottingham University, in collaboration with colleagues at the Lashkarev Institute of Semiconductor Physics in the Ukraine, have produced the saser, a sonic equivalent to the laser. In ...

As sources of intense and coherent acoustic waves, sound amplification by the stimulated emission of (acoustic phonon) radiation, saser, devices could find widespread applications in science and ...
