Bio-lasers

Had any one ever thought that the quantum physicist will ever use jelly fish to
produce lasers? Yeah you heard right new science is producing lasers from jelly
fish. Lasers were first invented for many solutions and were further used in many
fields like industrial, medical etc. Now scientist from the Scotland and Germany
has developed a way to generate laser by using proteins. Initially the laser was
generated by emitting light from an inert material which is monochromatic,
coherent, unidirectional. Let’s put it simple the conventional light is the crowd of
people and laser is a hole marching army. Different material produces different
type of lasers and each laser Has its own application for example read lasers are
used for barcode scanner, auxetometer and a CD player and this red laser are
made from helium, neon gas or garnet, were as the blue laser are used in
storage application and medical technologies they are made by exiting gallium
nitride. One of the best laser invented is polariton laser which is generated by
exiting the material which is at Bose Einstein condensation this can be used in
curing the cancer and to make data transfer much faster but to obtain this laser is
more difficult. In 2011 the scientist pules low energy light on the lab growing cells
containing a green fluorescent protein (GFP)from the jelly fish, by putting it into
mirror chamber it produced a monochromatic beam of green laser. Yes, you
heard correct a green colored laser beam jelly fish. Now in 2016 the scientist took
E- GFP to enhance the intensity of lasers. The question arises in your mind is that
what is E-GFP? E-GFP is the E. coli bacteria with the green fluorescent protein the
first attempt they created a 500 nanometer thin film of E-GFP and they put this
thin film between mirrors and guess what a polariton laser was formed at the
room temperature no super cooling require and easy to produce. Initially the
material was cooled due stabilize as the particle behaves much better when it is
cooled, but the proteins of the jelly fish are cylindrical shaped causing the
photons to be perfectly align until now only the green colored laser light is
obtained from the jellyfish more research is going on to produce different laser
for different application. Laser also have military application this bio laser can be
used efficiently in military for stopping the missile
