If you work in technical recruitment or even engineering jobs then you will know how exciting it is when new projects like this come on the market. After all, everyone benefits and it is only a matter of time until other people start to follow in the footsteps of those who are making headlines. Engineers have devised a method to try and combine disparate materials. In other words, this means that you can have the best of both worlds when it comes to laser material. Any material that is capable of producing laser light need to meet certain requirements. Researchers have found a way to try and combine alumina crystals with a substance known as neodymium. The ions for this have the ability to produce a very high-powered pulse and this can be done across a huge range of wavelengths.

Another great benefit? It has the ability to resist thermal shock as well. Now both neodymium and even alumina are very common materials when you look at solid state lasers. The former gives you the chance to make the metal ions that are required for the light and the other is designed to withstand heat. The problem is that the two of them are incompatible.

That is, until now. Researchers have found a way to try and combine these two ions and substances so that a high-powered laser can now be operated to the maximum efficiency without any worry. The researchers over at the university have been working very hard on this project and they have also really put the work in to try and make sure that the final project version is viable as well. So far everything looks to be good and this could make a huge difference to the industry.
