Piccardo marco, & Schwarz, B. (2024). Solitary light pulses on a chip-sized laser open up analytical applications. Nature. https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-023-04123-x
Self-reinforcing light pulses known as solitons are fundamental structures in wave dynamics. Previously, solitons could be produced only by bench-top lasers, but they can now also be generated using chip-sized mid-infrared lasers. This innovation enables the development of portable, efficient tools for use in spectroscopy, environmental sensing and medical diagnostics.
