Published 21 April 2023 Lasers can be used to look inside a flame and tell us what happens when things burn. How can we stop global warming? Simple: we need to stop burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, it is difficult to replace fossil fuels in all parts of society. In this project, we develop laser techniques that can help us understand the how energy is produced when different things burn, which

Published 21 April 2023 Hollow-cone spray illuminated using a laser with a stripy structure (lines seen on the left edge). Most milk powders you buy have been produced through spray drying. This means that the milk after some preprocessing is injected under high-pressure through a small hole into a warm room. Then almost instantly, the liquid evaporates leaving the powder. The final product now ha

Published 24 April 2023 This video shows backward and forward lasing signals from oxygen atoms in a flame recorded in real time. The forward lasing signal is stronger, but of limited diagnostic value. Ever since it was invented in the 1960s, the laser has found new areas of use, and is today very useful in research, industry and society. In most laser applications, for example material processing,
