Henry Kapteyn and Margaret Murnane won the award for their ultrafast x-ray sources.
The award honors the legacy of Benjamin Franklin by presenting awards for outstanding achievements in science, engineering, and industry

Enabled by new light sources providing maximum flexibility for optimizing parameters, three-photon microscopy allows nondestructive imaging deep into a wide variety of specimens. This micrograph was acquired at 1330 nm (3 MHz) using a fiber laser designed to optimize three-photon fluorescence excitation in multiphoton imaging (KMLabs’ Y-Fi OPA); it shows mouse brain vasculature and neurons (labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran and green fluorescent protein, respectively).
Laser innovations that enable balancing of critical parameters provide unprecedented options for quick, nondestructive, high-quality imaging deep into tissue.

Optics and photonics contribute hugely to the digital revolution and are in turn furthered by it. Some of these contributions are evident to the average tech-savvy but nonspecialist...

The Stryde Blue direct diode-pumped Ti:sapphire oscillator is pumped by a single integrated laser diode and offers stability of >500 hours of less than 0.05% RMS.
FIGURE 1. In this fully diode-pumped ultrafast Ti:sapphire oscillator-amplifier system, the Kerr-lens-modelocked Ti:sapphire oscillator is pumped with a single-emitter 465 nm diode (3.1 W), while the amplifier is pumped by either high-power fiber-coupled 450 nm diodes (up to 100 W), or spatially/spectrally combined 465/450 nm single emitters (up to 30 W), and is cryogenically cooled.
Consumer-driven technologies breathe life into the material of choice for ultrafast lasers.

The Brewster-cut Ti:sapphire crystal shows the tight focus from the blue pump diodes.
High-harmonic sources have very high temporal and spatial coherence, so they can achieve very high temporal and spatial resolution.

FIGURE 1. A diagram shows the evolution of ultrafast lasers from the original dye lasers to more-recent solid-state and fiber-based lasers.
The femtosecond-scale pulse durations of ultrafast lasers are ideal for science, capturing physical and biological processes that normally happen too fast to measure.

FIGURE 1. Schematic of a typical tabletop CDI microscope (a = transmission, b = reflection). An ultrashort near-infrared pulse is focused into a hollow capillary, where high-harmonic generation produces 13 nm light. The fundamental light is stripped away with the combination of a silicon rejector mirror (set at Brewster's angle for the fundamental) and a thin metallic filter. The light is spectrally filtered by two Bragg reflectors and focused onto the sample. The scattered light from the sample is collected on the detector. A reconstruction is shown in the inset.
High-harmonic generation and coherent diffraction imaging can produce quantitative phase and amplitude high-contrast images.

The Griffin-10 femtosecond oscillator is designed for second-harmonic generation, terahertz, and pump-probe users.
