An extremely small, very efficient solid-state laser system, which has been built by scientists, could pave the way for very-low power lasers for telecommunications and optical computing.

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and

When correctly tuned, these microlasers switch on at energies in the sub-microwatt range - which makes them very useful for transmitting signals in fibre optics and could be used in optical computing.
