Steered Light Could Replace Lasers for Military, Commercial Applications
7/17/2023
By Jan Tegler   
 

Sandia National Laboratories recently made a breakthrough that could lay the groundwork for replacing power-hungry laser beams with ordinary light.

Two lab research scientists, Igal Brener and Prasad Iyer, proved it’s possible to steer light from conventional sources like light bulbs or flashlights.

“We’ve shown a proof of principle that incoherent light emissions can be dynamically steered,” Iyer explained.

The technology could be used in applications ranging from remote sensing and holographic displays to high-speed communications.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
