NIST’s Electro-Optic Laser Pulses 100 Times Faster Than Usual Ultrafast Light

Described in the Sept. 28 issue of Science, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used common electronics to build a laser that pulses 100 times more often than conventional ultrafast lasers. The advance could extend the benefits of ultrafast science to new applications such as imaging of biological materials in real time.
