Over 60 years ago, a scientific breakthrough was the catalyst for the discovery of the first laser. Since then, the use of laser devices has been growing in research applications, and in recent years, industrial and commercial applications have been utilizing this technology as well. Lately, that growth trend has rapidly increased thanks to laser … Continue reading

The Planacon™ square-shaped MCP-PMTs from Photonis have been selected as the photosensors for the Barrel DIRC detector of the PANDA experiment. (PANDA is an acronym of antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt.) PANDA is a large particle physics experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), an accelerator complex under construction in Darmstadt. Figure 1 shows … Continue reading
Background: What is an optical diffuser? Optical diffusers are optical components that spread the optical power of incoming light beams. In other words, they diffuse the optical energy of the beam profile, making the energy envelope smoother than the original incoming light beam. There are many types of optical diffusers, including holographic optical elements and … Continue reading
For many applications power stability is the critical performance factor which will determine the quality of outcomes. Access Laser has developed their Line Tracker feature to provide industry leading average power stability of less than +/- 1%. The unique Line Tracker software-controlled optical feedback loop enables industry-leading power stability and, for shorter models, wavelength selection. … Continue reading
