SUPERLUM Diodes​​ presents new models of their​​ Broadsweeper tunable/swept laser, with wavelengths​​ centered at 790 nm (55 nm tuning) and 930 nm (110 nm tuning). Their wavelength of the original Broadsweeper is 840 nm (75 nm tuning).

Light Conversion​​ has launched the CARBIDE laser with double strength (80 W), without compromising this lasers features:

• State-of-the-art BiBurst functionality.

• Fast Energy Control (FEC) enabling pulse-to-pulse energy modulation.

• Same product dimensions.

• Excellent beam quality.

• The laser can be paired with an automated harmonic generator (HG) to generate 2nd, 3rd or 4th harmonics with similar conversion efficiency, allowing more power and energy.

• Exceptional laser reliability allows multiple years of maintenance-free operation in industrial environments.

Light Conversion​​ released a new price list to its agents/distributors. Please​​ ask​​ IL Photonics for an updated quote​​ if yours is more than 3 months old.

The venteon ultra produced by Laser Quantum brings the​​ capability of <5 fs transform-limited pulses. This offers the benefits of enhanced excitation efficiency and direct excitation of multiple fluorophores due to the broad spectral output.

Ultrashort (<10 fs) pulses enhance the two-photon microscopy technique. For more information, click here.

Now the PHAROS laser available from Light​​ Conversion has an option for tunable GHz and MHz burst with burst-in-burst capability – called BiBurst.

Holo/Or’s new​​ diffractive lens array diffusers​​ have total (<10-5) ROC accuracy and feature​​ diffraction efficiencies of ~95%, with no dead zones between the lenses. Due to their thinness and diffractive nature, they are not affected by thermal lensing and other temperature-related effects and offer a thin, planar alternative to traditional lens​​ arrays.
