Bright lights Photograph of a small-diameter laser beam that has formed several bright filaments that are connected by regions of lower intensity light. The image was taken at the Teramobile facility at the University of Geneva. Light at wavelengths below 780 nm have removed by a photographic filter on the camera's objective.
