| 1. | They used a pulsed optical laser, where each pulse consisted of exactly 532, 361 oscillations.
|
| 2. | In principle, a clock tuned to the higher frequencies of optical lasers would be even more accurate.
|
| 3. | It is NASA's first attempt at two-way space communication using an optical laser instead of radio waves.
|
| 4. | An optical laser works by sending out a very narrow beam of photons ( light elements ),
|
| 5. | The search for optical laser transmissions is carried out by the Automated Planet Finder of Lick Observatory.
|
| 6. | When using optical lasers, there is a distinction made between " direct drive " and " indirect drive " systems.
|
| 7. | Optical lasers record the information, but we know this system better as CD-R ( CD-recordable ) and CD-RW ( CD-rewriteable ) technology.
|
| 8. | The current developmental stage of the atom laser is analogous to that of the optical laser during its discovery in the 1960s.
|
| 9. | Masers spread out more rapidly than optical lasers owing to their longer wavelength, and so would not have as great an effective range.
|
| 10. | It took more than a decade to find practical uses for optical lasers, now ubiquitous in CD players, supermarket scanners and operating rooms.
