Enhanced performance of refractive laser beam shapers through additional phase control at focus

Journal article titled "Enhanced performance of refractive laser beam shapers through additional phase control at focus" published by SPIE on 2016-08-29. The supplied excerpt contains only publisher and content-type metadata and no further experimental or results details.

Illustrative image: Two horse lenses from an approximately 13-15 year old horse suspended on water by cling wrap with 4 approximately parallel lasers directed through them. White grid pattern at back is at 1cm spacing. The focal length of the lenses is therefore approximately 6 cm. The lenses themselves appear to be 5cm diameter and 3.5 cm thick. — W.T.M.

Generated scores

Scores are based on the cited reporting and use a 1–10 scale. Read the methodology.

Confidence: 6/10How certain the assessment is based on the clarity and evidence in the cited reporting.
Geographic reach: 1/10How widely the event reaches, from a local area (1) to worldwide impact (10).
Global importance: 3/10The event's broader significance, from limited importance (1) to major global importance (10).
Impact magnitude: 3/10The scale or severity of the real-world impact, from minor (1) to extreme (10).
Positivity: 7/10How harmful or beneficial the event is, from strongly harmful (1) to strongly positive (10).
Urgency: 1/10How time-sensitive the event is, from low urgency (1) to immediate attention needed (10).
