2D Microlaser Arrays Give Integrated Photonic Systems a Boost
2D Microlaser Arrays Give Integrated Photonic Systems a Boost
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and Duke University designed and built 2D arrays of closely packed microlasers that demonstrated the stability of a single microlaser, and that collectively achieved power density that were orders of magnitude higher.

Integrated Photonic Circuits Demonstrate Ultralow Loss
Researchers at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne’s (EPFL’s) School of Basic Sciences have developed a technology that produces silicon nitride integrated photonic circuits with low optical losses and small footprints. The team combined nanofabrication and material science, based on the photonic Damascene process developed at EPFL, to make integrated circuits of optical losses of only 1 dB/m.

Sheaumann Laser Inc. - High-Power Tall TO-Can High-Power Tall TO-Can

Sheaumann Laser Inc.
Sheaumann's Tall TO-Can has improved upon a favorite in the industry, bringing you a high-power, continuous-wave, single-mode option up to 600 mW. Thoughtfully engineered to be as compact as possible, it is designed to fit into any system. The cap features a taller ridge that allows the chip to be mounted vertically, with a wide emitter enabling even more power than before.

LightMachinery Inc. - HyperFine Brillouin Spectrometer HyperFine Brillouin Spectrometer

LightMachinery Inc.
The great challenge with Brillouin spectroscopy is that the scattered signal from the un-shifted wavelength of the laser can overwhelm the small Brillouin shifted return signal. LightMachinery has combined its leading-edge HyperFine spectrometer with a very narrow band tunable filter to suppress the bright un-shifted laser frequency. The tunable filter is easily adjusted...

Improving the Design of Optical Devices Through STOP Analyses Improving the Design of Optical Devices Through STOP Analyses
Wed, May 12, 2021 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
There is an ever-increasing interest in structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis for optical systems, in which temperature change and structural loads affect the optical performance. In this presentation, guest speakers Kyle Koppenhoefer, Ph.D. and Joshua Thomas from AltaSim Technologies will join Christopher Boucher of COMSOL to discuss the development of STOP solutions for optical devices. The webinar will also include a live demo in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and an open Q&A session. Presented by COMSOL, Inc.
