  2. Solid light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_light

    Solid light, or hard light, is a hypothetical material consisting of light in a solidified state. It has been theorized that solid light could exist. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some experiments claim to have created solid photonic matter or molecules by inducing strong interaction between photons.

    Joel Solon Spira (March 1, 1927 – April 8, 2015) was an American inventor, entrepreneur, and business magnate.. He invented a version of the light-dimmer switch for use in homes around the United States and led his Lutron Electronics Company into the production of lighting controllers.

  7. Quantum optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_optics

    Atoms are considered as quantum mechanical oscillators with a discrete energy spectrum, with the transitions between the energy eigenstates being driven by the absorption or emission of light according to Einstein's theory. For solid state matter, one uses the energy band models of solid state physics. This is important for understanding how ...

  8. Laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser

    Solid-state lasers or laser amplifiers where the light is guided due to the total internal reflection in a single mode optical fiber are instead called fiber lasers. Guiding of light allows extremely long gain regions, providing good cooling conditions; fibers have a high surface area to volume ratio which allows efficient cooling.
