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
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 rising demand for Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screens resulted in a search for better laser-based film cutting solutions that require higher power and better processing quality. One of the problems that manufacturers are currently facing is reducing the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) next to the edges of the cut. One solution to mitigate this … Continue reading
