This is the nanolaser equivalent of being smacked in the face with a slab of
corrugated roofing during a tornado. There’s one step in making microscopic
lasers where you have to peel away metal from much of the substrate, leaving
behind pillar-shaped lasers surrounded by small metallic patches. These

I finished my PhD! (!!!) Thanks so much to all of you for following so far, and
giving me a use for the interesting images that wouldn’t necessarily make it to
publication. I’m glad I’m not the only one amused by strange-looking dust

On the right: a photonic nanostructure, used in researching new light-based ways
to make computers communicate faster.
On the left: a single human hair (oops).
Fortunately, according to Dr. Felipe Vallini of UCSD (who made and imaged this
structure): “A hair hit my device, but he is still fine!”

This fractal pattern is actually a guide to shaping laser pulses.
Each pixel in this image represents one possible laser pulse shape (the arrival
time of the frequencies in a broadband laser pulse). The pixel’s color indicates
how good that particular pulse shape should be at controlling a particular
