A new physical mechanism allows “Phonon lasing” driven by optical forces at ambient conditions
Despite the so-called "phonon laser" has been previously demonstrated, the high device quality and strict experimental conditions make it too complex for a rapid diffusion of the technology. The ICN2 Group led by ICREA Prof Clivia Sotomayor-Torres details at Nature's Scientific Reports a new physical mechanism that allows phonon lasing under far more relaxed configurations.
