To achieve a desired optical functionality for an application, it is critical that key use parameters are well defined when specifying the filter. Understanding the filter function and use conditions enables the filter design team to create a filter that both meets the functional requirements as well as the commercial constraints (cost, lead-time, volume) of … Continue reading
Processing (cutting or micro-structuring) tempered or non-tempered, flexible or thick glass with high precision can be a challenging task. Mesh glass wafers and wafers for wafer-level-packaging (WLP) require various shapes of through-holes with high aspect ratio channels in the same wafer. Femtosecond lasers are perfect for both selective laser etching (SLE) and 5-axis drilling heads. … Continue reading
Here is another fantastic image from Terry Hancock! The Seagull Nebula (IC2177 and NGC 2327) is located in the constellations of Monoceros and Canis Major, lying at a distance of 3,600 light-years from Earth. This image was taken at Grand Mesa Observatory in Colorado over the course of 4 days with a total acquisition time … Continue reading
ID Quantique (IDQ) are honored to be winners of the Laser World of Photonics 2022 Innovation Award, in the Quantum Technologies category. Across six categories, IDQ’s ultrafast and PNR superconducting nanowire detectors have been recognized as a breakthrough in single-photon measurement. These detectors are propelling users to the next level of research in quantum light … Continue reading
ISTEQ introduces their latest products in the EUV light source — 13.5 nm TEUS (S100, S200 and S400) product line. These devices are based on laser-produced plasma (LPP) with extremely high brightness, low debris, and a high duty cycle. Right now this is the only LPP EUV light source available worldwide for mask inspections and … Continue reading
Dr. Julian Fells and his team at the University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science have developed sapphire fiber sensors that can withstand extreme temperatures. These sensors have the potential to increase efficiency and reduce emissions in aerospace and power generation. Light Conversion is very proud to have supplied the PHAROS femtosecond laser for this research. … Continue reading
