Eye-tracking technology - which can determine where people are directing their gaze - has been used in psychological experiments and marketing research, but pricey hardware has kept it from wider-ranging applications.

Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Laboratories have designed a device that is an array of 37 micro-fabricated lasers on a single chip. Its power requirements are relatively low because the radiation emitted by all of the lasers is 'phase locked,' meaning that the troughs and crests of its waves are perfectly aligned.

Re-designing Microlasers

Less power consumption and a tighter beam represent fundamentally new approaches to laser design and application.
