Many laser-based systems, especially in the life sciences, projection and projection mapping fields, require the use of more than a single wavelength, high power laser on the same optical path to achieve the desired functionality. To meet this need, Holo/Or has developed the high-power Broadband Diffuser (BD). The BD is a micro-refractive diffuser, specially designed … Continue reading
Iridian has recently expanded their filter capacity for the LiDAR sensing application. Their Iridian LiDAR filters feature narrow bandwidth, higher transmission and low angular wavelength shift for wider AOI range. Click on the links for more information about Optical Filters for LiDAR Sensors and Optical Filters for LiDAR Applications. To download their recently published whitepaper … Continue reading
The desire for low latency, high capacity, secure, uninterrupted internet connectivity everywhere on earth at all times has driven explosive growth in the satellite communications (Satcom) market. Iridian designs and manufactures custom wavelength selective windows and transceiver filters to improve the signal to noise in these systems. Commercial Satcom networks will consist of constellations of … Continue reading
Many applications in the solar panels and microelectronic industries require parallel ablation or scribing of lines on a flat substrate, such as scribing of electrodes or copper removal. These sorts of applications often employ Holo/Or’s Multi-Spot Beam Splitter DOE to create the spots used for the parallel writing, along with a scanner. Often, a large … Continue reading
The R&D physicist at Holo/Or just published a new article about M2 transformation, useful for industrial laser material processing applications. The article discusses a laser M2 transformation system in polar coordinates, where a multimode laser beam is transformed into a ring-shaped beam with close to single mode beam quality in radial coordinate (ring thickness), and … Continue reading
Electro-Optics Technology (EOT) supplies many components to the High-Repetition-Rate Advanced Petawatt Laser System (HAPLS) developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Today HAPLS can produce 0.5 petawatt (PW) of power at 3.3 Hz. This is 200,000 times faster than the first petawatt laser. This laser has a repetition rate of up to 10 Hz with a … Continue reading
Holo/Or is participating in a new HO2020 framework European laser surface processing project, called PROMETHEUS. This project pushes the boundaries of laser surface texturing technology to a new level! Within this project, Holo/Or will develop a novel diffractive-based M2 transformation module for high power, short pulse lasers to enable the precise periodic texturing of functional … Continue reading
Laser glass cutting with ultra-short IR pulses is fast becoming a key technique for high throughput glass processing. Cutting of thick glass (> 500 µm) using this technique possesses unique challenges, as the laser energy needs to be both focused to a tight spot and spread evenly throughout the depth of the glass. To help … Continue reading
Time and Place for this workshop: June 24, 15:00-16:00, Hall B3, Booth #303 In the upcoming workshop during the Laser World of Photonics Exhibition in Munich, Mr. Natan Kaplan of Holo/Or will talk about adjustable function beam shaping methods, for laser welding and brazing applications. Laser welding is used in a wide range of industrial applications, … Continue reading
