Photonics Spectra White Papers

Thorlabs’ Textured AR Surfaces present a powerful alternative to traditional coatings. The treated surface provides significantly higher resistance to laser damage alongside lower reflectance across a broader wavelength range with minimal sensitivity to angle. This technique can be applied across a...

This technical white paper describes how tunable bandpass filters with wide and deep out-of-band blocking can be built using continuously variable edge filters combined with homogeneous blocking filters.

DRS Daylight Solutions has launched Stretto, a family of external cavity diode lasers operating from ultraviolet wavelengths through to the infrared. Drawing its name from the intricate overlapping of musical notes, Stretto exploits precision and sophistication in laser technology to provide...

The whitepaper describes how femtosecond pulses from a Menhir Photonics MENHIR-1030 seeder can easily be amplified using the modular neoYb amplifiers from neoLASE. The advantages of the presented approach lie in a direct amplification which does not require any chirp of the pulse and its...
