The gem 640 laser from Laser Quantum is an excellent choice for super-resolution microscopy. The benefits of gem 640 include: Superior SM fibre coupling: Tight focal point for higher intensity, leading to strong emission signal and improved spatial resolution Unified compact platform: Compact form factor combined with high power. Unified design with multiple wavelengths available. … Continue reading
A short history of light shaping From antiquity, mankind has strived to fashion and shape light — from the mirror shield used by Archimedes to burn Roman ships, to Fresnel’s huge, hand-ground lighthouse lenses to today’s micro-optics — we wanted light to go exactly where we need it. In the past, our ability to shape … Continue reading
Superlum Diodes has launched a new product: the OEM Broadsweepers at 790 nm, 840 nm and 930 nm. These compact, wavelength-swept, tunable lasers are designed to work in OEM applications. They have a maximum sweep rate up to 10000 nm/s and optical power up to 3 mW (up to 20 mW after boosting). Their tuning … Continue reading
A laser beam is characterized by a coherent, monochromatic irradiance with a Gaussian profile, where the beam intensity is strongest at the center of the beam and decays towards the edges. If looking at the intensity profile on the working plane, this radiance profile results in a spot that has strong energy at the center … Continue reading
