A collaborative effort by Light Conversion, Vilniaus universitetas (Vilnius University), and Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) have demonstrated a compact high-flux X-ray source based on irradiation of solid targets by gigahertz and megahertz bursts of femtosecond laser pulses. The simplicity and relative cost-effectiveness of the presented X-ray source makes it an attractive solution … Continue reading
Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) and ID Quantique (IDQ) collaborate once again to establish a new Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) link between Poznan and Warsaw. This link will provide new services for a number of applications such as telemedicine, medical data transmission, data storage and public services. This installation is part of the Polish … Continue reading
Superlum Diodes introduces 100 mW SLD-based light sources at 850 nm. This new MOPA-SLD-850-P100W12 is an SLD-based light source, providing 100 mW PM fiber output power with a smooth, very low-ripple, 12-nm-wide spectrum around an 850 nm center. Its 100 mW output power is at least two times higher than that of any other commercially available fiber-coupled SLD around 850 nm. … Continue reading
Two members of the Holo/Or staff have recently published an article about the potential of new 3D beam shaping techniques to enable more productive ultrashort laser material processing. There is discussion of laser glass cutting of curved surface and with chamfers included, channel writing for micro fluidics, scribing on the inside of tubes and much … Continue reading
KM innovation, located in South Korea, has appointed IL Photonics as its Israeli agent. KM innovation is one of a few corporations in the world that can mass produce low absorption zinc selenide (ZnSe). ZnSe is an optical material that can transmit radiation in a wide wavelength band from near infrared to far infrared. ZnSe … Continue reading
