Unveiling the spatial and temporal dynamics of a light pulse interacting with nanosized objects opens new ground for understanding nanoscale phenomena. Here, researchers resolve the time-dependent behavior of a single germanium plasmonic antenna in the mid-infrared by measuring the complex optical field response in amplitude and phase with sub-optical-cycle precision, with the promise to extend the observation … Continue reading
PHAROS or CARBIDE femtosecond lasers from Light Conversion are the most common choice for the production of µ-precise fine tubes and stents. It is possible to process both metallic and bioresorbable stents using lasers that are equipped with a harmonics module. Moreover, femtosecond lasers eliminate costly post-processing and cleaning steps. Ultrashort laser systems are the solution for industries such as medical technology or micro-optics. To watch a … Continue reading
Graphene has exceptionally high in-plane strength but exceptionally low out-of-plane stiffness, making it flimsy and hard to handle. Here, researchers show that using a laser writing technique called optical forging increases graphene bending stiffness up to five orders of magnitude, opening venues for a plethora of new applications, such as GHz resonators and 3D scaffolds. Direct laser writing … Continue reading
Modern-day solid-state femtosecond lasers, such as the products offered by Light Conversion, operating at multi-kilohertz repetition rates offer a unique combination of pulse energy and stability, making them the laser of choice for scientific research. In a paper, entitled “Advantages of high-repetition-rate femtosecond lasers,” the authors conclude the following: In summary, modern-day solid-state femtosecond lasers … Continue reading
Ultrafast laser-matter interaction has emerged as a highly universal platform with unprecedented optical phenomena and implementation paths for advanced manufacturing. Researchers from Zhejiang A & F University report three-dimensional (3D) focal-area interference patterning in transparent dielectrics using Light Conversion’s PHAROS laser. The femtosecond laser PHAROS combines millijoule pulse energies and high average powers. The laser … Continue reading
Industrial-grade PHAROS from Light Conversion femtosecond laser paired with KMLabs’s XUUSTM-5 high-harmonic-generation system produced a high flux, ultrastable, coherent EUV light with photon energies spanning in the range of 18–62 eV. Together these devices achieved flux levels up to 1013 photons/s and repetition rates of up to 100 kHz — performance levels that enable a host of scientific applications … Continue reading
