Cisco Optics Podcast Ep 35. Fascinating laser research projects you wish you thought of (1 of 9)

Lasers have been around for over six decades. Since their invention, they have found their way into many applications that have changed our lives. Optical communications is of course one of them, and there are many that may surprise you. There is also still plenty of room to take laser performance to new heights, leading to even more new applications. In Episode 35, we begin a new conversation with laser and optics expert Juliet Gopinath, Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. We begin with her work at Lincoln Laboratories on improving laser performance. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager
