Tailor Laser Intensity Distribution for Greater Versatility
Typically a raw laser beam used for industrial purposes is not the optimal shape for the necessary welding, brazing, soldering or other similar process. The white paper “Adjustable-Function Beam Shaping Methods” explains how a single diffractive optical element combined with manual or automated translation/rotation stages can convert a limited laser machine to a versatile solution … Continue reading
Two New Lasers from Laser Quantum: One Ultrafast and One CW
Laser Quantum is introducing two innovative new continuous wave and ultrafast laser solutions: helixx – A femtosecond laser with a unique 250 MHz repetition rate, producing superior results in two photon microscopy. The helixx is well suited to maximise the decay times of typical fluorophores, reducing photobleaching and phototoxicity. axiom 532 – A new addition … Continue reading
MCP-PMT for LIDAR Applications
Photonis has launched a new Micro-Channel Plate/PhotoMultiplier Tube (MCP-PMT) for LIDAR applications. MCP-PMTs enable detection from single photon to few GHz in photon burst mode and few 100 MHz in continuous illumination thanks to the high linearity properties. Along with the extremely low dark rate, the new detector is capable of 8 orders of magnitude dynamic … Continue reading
