3D-printed ceramic waveguide lasers could surpass the power of glass fiber lasers by 10 times

Phys.org reports that 3D-printed ceramic waveguide lasers could surpass the power of glass fiber lasers by ten times. Waveguides are the components that channel and amplify light in undersea fiber-optic cables, which carry much of the world's internet data. That's why this potential leap in laser power matters for global communications.
