"Researchers have created the tiniest laser since its inventien nearly 50 years ago, paving the way for a host of innovations, including superfast computers that use light instead of electrons to process information, advanced sensors and imaging." And so on, and so on...
Even if I will not work with nanolasers, spasers, or whatever that comes out from the gates of modern science, I'm happy about hearing the news. In time, it will have a positive impact on TLS, laser scanning in the real world. (Well, not that blood cells are not real, but I can't touch them. Scanning a bridge or statue is more of a 'handleable' work, for me at least.)But: we are using the same 'technology', the same softwares, and we have more or less the same issues. (How will they solve the scanning of a fast moving bacteria, for instance? How can we scan the waving water, or the trees blown by the wind?)
And for the softwares: we are using the same technique for imaging and manipulating the datas. After all, they are just numbers. Scale doesn't matter, we have invented the normal form already. So, if nanolasers mean that the number of engineers working on the field will double, I suppose the efforts for developing softwares will double as well.
It would be nice to see that progress in the near future.
