“Nowadays, people and companies want to try to make smaller and smaller integrated circuits. In order to do this, low-power optical devices, like lasers, are needed,” Tom Savels tells PhysOrg.com. Savels, a scientist at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in Amsterdam, and his colleagues, Allard Mosk and Ad Lagendijk at the MESA Research Institute at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, set about asking themselves this question: how small can we make a laser?
