Measuring pulsed-beam lasers has generally required the use of a CCD array profiler. This is a reasonable solution for low-power lasers in the UV and visible wavelength range, but these require...

Since its first successful operation in 1960 at Hughes Research Labs, the laser technology has been at the center of innovation and research. Semiconductor lasers first made their appearance in 1962...

Early fiber lasers were inefficient and limited to low powers, until more effective methods emerged to deliver the pump light into the cladding. Valentin Gapontsev, founder and CEO of IPG Photonics,...

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....

The erbium-doped glass laser is used in the field of eye-safe rangefinders and is characterized by its reliability and cost effectiveness. This laser is also known as the 1535nm DPSS eye-safe laser...

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.

OPTOMAN takes innovation very seriously and makes sure that optical components are able to resist the ongoing increase of laser power and decrease in pulse duration, thus high LIDT is OPTOMAN‘s bread...

Optical filters are often overlooked, but they are important or even crucial components in every optical instrument. While working at an optical filter company for almost 10 years, Pust witnessed...

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,...

Free-space optics (FSO), also known as optical wireless communication or optical wireless networking, refers to the transmission of data using modulated beams of light through free space (air or a...

Wavelengths between 400 and 1400 nm (VIS to NIR) are focused onto the retina by the cornea. Because the retina is sensitive to light, these wavelengths can be damaging even at low energies. It is the...

Zone of laser operation in which the direct, reflected or scattered light exceeds the laser's MPE and (by ANSI standards) requires the use of protective eyewear.

A method of creating real three-dimensional models by using lasers driven by CAD software. In contrast to the normal practice of removing material, this process polymerizes a liquid to quickly...

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...

Luminate is the world's largest Optics, Photonics and Imaging accelerator focused on advancing next-generation OPI-enabled companies. The accelerator program accepts ten companies per year to compete...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we introduce you to Drake Anthony, aka styropyro. Drake, 25, has been building his own lasers since he was 12 years old. He's got quite the following on his...
