Lasers save energy

According to physicsweb.org, a laser called a polariton laser saves energy compared to the conventional solid state lasers. It only uses a tenth of the energy. This is a significant saving. The polariton lasers did not used to operate at room temperature but now they do. They could be ideal for optical data storage devices. For details (Phys. Rev. Lett. 98 126405)
