Introduction A microlens array (MLA) is an optical component that consists of a set of micron-scale lenses, arranged and “packed“ together on a single supporting substrate. MLAs are used in many photonics-based devices for various applications. Each of the microlenses in the array is a plano-convex refractive lens, operating under the standard geometrical optics laws … Continue reading
The new ID281 Superconducting Nanowire offers 16 fiber-coupled single photon detectors with detection efficiency approaching 100%.

Light Conversion is happy to announce that the new 2021 product catalog “FEMTOSECOND LASER SYSTEMS FOR SCIENCE” is now available online. Here is an excerpt from the first page of the catalog: Founded in 1994 as a Vilnius University spin-off, LIGHT CONVERSION is now a major ultrafast laser technology company with over 300 employees, 10% … Continue reading
Problem The Zewail Group operating a Quanta FEG 650 interfaced with a custom optical set-up to enable ultrafast electron microscopy imaging. Feeding a laser into a SEM chamber requires positional stability within a few micrometers, so SEM internal air isolation was not in use. Vibration levels present in the environment were significant enough to degrade imaging … Continue reading
The ER902 µLaser from MegaWatt Lasers is a Q-switched, Diode Pumped Solid-State Laser (DPSSL) with Er:glass as the gain element. The laser generates pulses at a wavelength of 1.535 µm with 100 kW peak power and a pulse duration of 4 ns. Typical repetition rate is 10 Hz, but the laser may be operated at … Continue reading
