The world did not become a better place in 2023. But some parts of the photonics industry made remarkable progress. And that will endure. The world of photonics is changing. In some places at a...

In the three decades since its introduction, the CO2 laser has become the workhorse of industrial lasers. Today it is available in a range of designs and sizes with output powers of 20 kW and more....

Excimers are pulsed gas lasers that deliver high output power and pulse energies in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. This enables them to power applications that cannot be supported...

The basic setup in laser perforation includes a pulsed laser, a lens and either a moving mirror, a rotating web or both. Each laser pulse creates a hole in the material. During the blank time in...

A laser safety program is the cornerstone of any organization using Class 3B and 4 laser systems. Management is responsible for ensuring the safe use of lasers owned and operated under its control....

OEM dpss laser from lumispot tech, in this file, we mentioned the datasheet of the cw and qcw diode pumped solid state lasers, including its features, working principle and applications.

We started developing FACs more than 15 years ago. The result is highly automated in-house processes which allow for competitive prices – even with high volumes. Diode lasers are efficient, compact,...

Answering some common questions new users of optical design and analysis software have are “How accurate are the results?” or “Can I trust the results I get?” and discussing the importance of...

No laser user wishes to hurt themselves or others, or damage expensive equipment. Nevertheless, accidents do happen. Learn the steps to ensuring the safe use of lasers in your work environment, and...

VCSELs have special properties, in contrast to other typical laser sources. As a result, VCSEL eye-safety evaluation is more complex, and a couple of additional aspects have to be considered that...

U.S. and international standards call for laser safety training for users of Class 3B and Class 4 lasers. How the information is delivered is left to each facility. The means of training have greatly...

The American National Standards Institute Standard (ANSI) Z136.1 “Safe Use of Lasers” — revised and released in late 2022 — is the cornerstone of any laser safety program,...

Area in which laser operation occurs and therefore safety requirements are met and regulations are implemented. Lasers operated within a laser controlled area may vary with energy and wavelength.

An Er:YAG laser is a type of solid-state laser that uses a crystal made of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:Y3Al5O12) as the gain medium. The erbium (Er) ions are introduced into the crystal...

A fiber optic sensor is a device that uses optical fibers to detect and measure physical, chemical, biological, or environmental parameters. Unlike traditional electrical sensors, fiber optic sensors...

Flow chemistry, also known as continuous-flow chemistry, is a chemical manufacturing process where reactions take place in a continuous stream of fluids (liquids or gases) rather than in batch...

laservision designs foldable laser safety panels with versatility in mind. These systems have unique 360° hinges that allow you to move and position your barrier according to your needs. It’s easy to...

At the exhibition, BWT exhibited more than 20 types of diode lasers, fiber lasers, and ultrafast lasers.
