 | | That Raman lasers could reduce the hassle and expense is a "significant breakthrough," said Jalali Bahram, a professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. |
 | | The Raman Effect, discovered in 1928 by Nobel laureate Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, roughly works as follows: Light hits a substance, causing the atoms in the substance to vibrate. |
 | | The Raman Effect, in fact, is 10,000 times stronger in silicon than standard glass, which should make it far easier to amplify. |
