❂Lasers
A study by Ido Kaminer of the Technion showed that quantum mechanics is important in understanding Chernkov radiation. This type of radiation causes nuclear reactors to glow. Articles in Haaretz and Nature. The equipment in in the lab includes products from Light Conversion (laser and OPA).

| Manx Precision Optics (MPO) has released a new white paper discussing ultrafast mirrors for femtosecond laser systems. Ultrafast systems require low group delay dispersion (GDD) components to access and maintain femtosecond pulse durations. |
Holo/Or explains how diffractive optical lenses work by using the wave nature of light, modifying the phase of the propagating light by slowing it down in some areas of the beam vs. others, thus shaping the light using diffraction effects. A DOE changes the phase of the light propagated through it by using micro-structure patterns fabricated onto the substrate material. Light that passes through the sunken areas in the element moves faster than light that traverses the higher areas (since light’s speed in air is faster than in the material), creating a controlled phase delay. |

Whether your application is microscopy, flow cytometry, PCR or NGS, the most important thing is reliably distinguishing the multiple fluorescence channels. Use Chroma Technology’s “Browse by Fluorochrome” and “Spectra Viewer” functions to match the right filters with the right fluorochromes. |

Polymer-on-Glass (POG) elements from Holo/Or are the most accurate beam shaping solutions available for the low to medium power range applications. They are cost effective, and can be produced in high volumes as per customer requirements. POG elements can be either beam splitting dot / line generators or beam shaping products, including homogenizers / diffusers with flat-top distribution, broad band diffusers, and micro-lens arrays.
