HiLASE Centre scientists have broken the world record in the speed production of laser-induced periodic nanostructures on a stainless steel surface. The HiLASE Centre is a part of the Institute of Physics of the CAS. The Laser Micromachining team led by Peter Hauschwitz, applied a concept of multi-beam processing of record speed of 1909 cm2/min … Continue reading
A state-of-the-art laser system with two optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs), including Light Conversion’s award-winning ORPHEUS-MIR, was installed at Silicon Austria Labs (SAL), Austria’s top research center for electronic-based systems. This versatile combination of Light Conversion’s OPAs provides broadband pulses in the UV–MIR range with sub-100 fs pulse duration. These parameters are ideal for sum-frequency spectroscopy and … Continue reading
Ryan J. McGuigan and Helmut Kessler of Manx Precision Optics have written a ground-breaking white paper. This paper, entitled “Thermal Laser Induced Damage in Optical Coatings Due to An Incident Pulse Train,” originally appeared in the Electro Optics magazine. Here is an excerpt from the Introduction of this paper: “Laser Induced Damage Threshold (LIDT) of … Continue reading
The technology behind Herzan’s acoustic enclosures was originally developed by Herz in Japan about twenty years ago. The AEK was made to provide an exceptionally quiet environment for sensitive research instruments. After studying Herz’s technology and production techniques, Ann Scanlan founded Herzan and brought the AEK concept to America. Herzan continues to develop and refine the AEK design. Over the past fifteen … Continue reading
Many of Philtec’s customers need casings for fiber optic probes and cables that are exposed to high magnetic fields. Philtec’s answer is to jacket the cables in non-metallic materials and also to construct the sensor tips from non-metallic or non-magnetic materials. These sensors can therefore be configured to perform measurements in environments where very high … Continue reading
The SPECTRA TUNE LAB device is the ultimate LED light engine from LEDMOTIVE. This system can deliver either white light or any light spectrum obtained from the modulation of each of its different wavelength channels. Brightness can be dimmed down to 10% for each channel of the whole specific spectral power distribution. This ultimate multichannel … Continue reading
