Although SuperLuminescent Diodes (SLDs) are the main business of SUPERLUM Diodes, they also offer tunable/swept bandwidth lasers called “Broadsweepers”. SUPERLUM introduced the first compact OEM version of Broadsweeper at 840 nm with 75 nm tuning/sweeping bandwidth two years ago. Now they present new models of this device, with wavelengths centered at 790 nm (55 nm … Continue reading
Light Conversion, the largest manufacturer of femtosecond optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) and non-collinear OPAs, has launched the CARBIDE laser with double strength. Now the laser output power increases to 80 W. This opens up additional possibilities for both industrial and scientific customers. CARBIDE features market-leading output parameters along with a robust design. Tunable parameters include … Continue reading
Laser system manufacturer Light Conversion, UAB has confirmed its plans for corporate expansion. A new manufacturing building is due to appear by fall 2021. The new five-story building will accommodate manufacturing facilities. Covering a total area of 11,200 sq. m, the facilities will include a series of laboratories, a laser system manufacturing line, research space, … Continue reading
The quantum computer is a game changer. Its arrival signals a paradigm shift in computing, bringing significant benefits & threats. The differentiation between generations of classical computers was based on the size of the processing unit and the speed of each elementary operation. For theoretical computer science, Eniac, the first computer based on vacuum tubes … Continue reading
In a recent article, Alexander Brodsky and Natan Kaplan of Holo/Or present “a new method for simulating and optimizing both single and multi-mode lasers in Zemax™ by applying a scattering model.” The abstract of the article follows: By default, optical systems are usually designed for single mode lasers. Nonetheless, many industrial lasers have M2 in … Continue reading
Achieving high resolution and increasing imaging speeds are two critical factors for effective two-photon microscopy. Laser Quantum’s newest animation demonstrates how the helixx laser, with a repetition rate of 250 MHz, is tailored to the decay times of typical fluorophores. This important feature reduces photobleaching and toxicity, while increasing imaging speed and cell view times. … Continue reading
