Request InfoTRUMPF Photonic Components GmbH, VCSEL and Photodiode SolutionsThe TruMark 7050 laser system from TRUMPF features integrated scanner and software for applications with short process cycle times. Users can join different types of metals using spot welding, clean metallic surfaces of a variety of materials such as oil, rust, or organic residues, or roughen surfaces. The laser creates regularly arranged geometries on metal, with individual components often only a few µm in size. Such laser structuring is suitable, for example, for preparing adhesive joints.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 5/12/2023Part Separator ToolThe TruTool PS 100 part separator tool from TRUMPF SE & Co.

Enter Class 1 laser products — lasers that are so safe that the user doesn’t require specific laser safety training or protective eyewear. Some precautions still exist, though.When purchasing an industrial laser system, the astute buyer will look for a Class 1 laser product — a system where the laser beam hazard is completely enclosed and there is no potential laser...Photonics HandbookLaser Measurement Systems: Best Practices: When purchasing a laser, learning how to apply, troubleshoot, and evaluate that device is very important.Given the pace at which technology advances, there always seems to be a learning curve. With the abundance of consumer electronics available, there typically is no right or wrong way to use these...Photonics HandbookIndustrial Lasers: An Introduction to Process Qualification: The step from successfully demonstrating a new laser process on a limited number of samples under laboratory conditions, to scaling that process up for high-volume industrial use is a big one. In particular, it’s necessary to determine how variations in process parameters affect end results, so that acceptable process input and operating ranges can be determined.Materials processing with lasers is actually a broad term for a diverse range of applications. The major categories of these uses, and the lasers that service them, are summarized Table 1. At one...Photonics HandbookThin-Film Coatings: A Buyers' Guide: The vast majority of optics used in precision scientific, industrial, biomedical, and military applications incorporate thin-film coatings on their surfaces. Therefore, it’s useful for almost anyone involved in the specification and purchase of optical components to have some familiarity with the typical performance characteristics, trade-offs and limitations of various coating types, as well as some knowledge of the capabilities of common thin-film production technologies. This article provides an objective overview of both these topics.What are thin-film coatings? The purpose of any optical thin-film coating is to modify the transmittance and reflectance properties of the substrate material to which they are applied. Most coatings...WHITEPAPERSPhotonics.com 3/31/2023ATR-FTIR of Blood Serum Using a Heated ATR AccessoryThis application note demonstrates the use of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy for the analysis of human serum albumin.
