>>16564695IR emission with that pattern? 532nm to 1064nm and 450nm to 900nm? random guess
>>16564695what is the significance of this?
>Light, being massless, casts no shadow; under ordinary circumstances, photons pass right through each other unimpeded. Here, we demonstrate a laser beam acting like an object — the beam casts a shadow upon a surface when the beam is illuminated by another light source. We observe a regular shadow in the sense it can be seen by the naked eye

>>16565329The optics all happen inside a ruby crystal and the image is in reality a projection of atomic interactions within the ruby crystal. There is no shadow and the article is disingenuous to the point of a lie.
>>16565360yeah i see what you mean now.
