Nanoengineering University of California, San Jose , managed to create the most compact, low-power laser that can operate at room temperature, and its dimensions are less than one micron. The diameter of a human hair, by comparison, is about 600 microns. The new laser requires very little energy.
The small size and low power consumption of these nanolasers can make them very useful components used in a wide range of industries. The first is, of course, computers and telecommunications. Using a pair of lasers to create the binary sequences, in conjunction with the processing system, will allow scientists to build a simple but very fast microprocessor. In the future, they may form the base for quantum computing devices. On this base, you can also build a microscopic sensor that provides real-time image of a virus or a DNA molecule. In addition, according, to the developers, such lasers can enter in material, the light-scattering and making the object optically invisible. Engineers continue to study the properties of invention.
