MIRTHE's graduate student Kale Franz, Princeton University, explains the discovery of laser action at high k-space values in Quantum Cascade lasers on NJN News, New Jersey Public Television, on Friday 1/23, 2009. The paper was published online in Nature Photonics in late December 2008. The discovery may lead to better Quantum Cascade lasers, which in turn should enable more compact and better performing sensors for MIRTHE. Click here to view the YouTube NJN Video |
