Background: Laser fractional treatment Fractional laser aesthetic treatments are a family of laser processes conducted with Energy- Based Devices (EBDs) that rejuvenate the skin by careful, controlled application of laser energy over thousands of individual spots, often called micro-thermal treatments zones. To achieve this pattern of spots on the skin, the laser energy needs to … Continue reading
The Photonis Defense power tube product line encompasses a wide variety of tubes and their associated circuitry components designed for specialty use. Photonis Defense manufactures gridded power tubes (tetrodes and triodes) for use in defense, communications, broadcast, research and other applications. Output capabilities range from a few watts to megawatts, and frequency coverage extends from … Continue reading
Introduction to laser cutting and welding Laser cutting is generally a fairly simple and straight-forward process. Using a high-power laser beam focused into a tight spot and aimed at the work surface, the laser energy is absorbed in the workpiece and then converted into heat. This heat in turn can cause vaporization or ablation of … Continue reading
On 25 November 2020, the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI-ALPS) facility and a consortium between EKSPLA and Light Conversion signed a research and development contract for building a new 15 TW laser system, called SYLOS3 for ELI-ALPS. This agreement continues the collaboration among these three parties. The new system, estimated at 6 … Continue reading
Thirty years ago on April 24th, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched with the Hubble Telescope on board. In the years since, scientists around the world have uncovered mysteries of the universe through the information Hubble has gathered. When this iconic telescope was launched into outer space, Photonis was on board with its long-lasting, large format … Continue reading
Imaging microscopic biological specimens demands greater resolution than can typically be attained via conventional microscopy. Consider a cell, which is predominantly composed of water and is subsequently transparent. Visible light-based microscopy will fail to provide much detail about cellular structures, as most light on the range of 400–700 nanometers (nm) will simply transmit through. This … Continue reading
