(Phys.org) —It is widely known that the optical properties of certain materials can be modified by using lasers to control the quantum states of their optical electrons. Lasers that can generate ultra ...

Color centers play key roles in, e.g., solid state lighting and quantum information technology. Here, we describe an approach for predicting the optical line shapes of such emitters based on direct ...

Thus far in this series, I have discussed the question of what is art, two (2) elements of art, and some principles of design. Fundamental to all this, however, must be an understanding of the three ...
