Liquid crystal lasers are a fascinating and relatively unexplored field of laser research, with great potential in medical imaging and display applications.
Lenses shape laser beams in 2D, but shaping them in 3D - creating beams with volume - could revolutionise fields like surgery and microfabrication.
Lasers are often associated with eye surgery; transforming lives by sharpening vision, clearing cloudy lenses, and repairing damaged tissue. But what if they could do even more?
