Periodically poled nonlinear optic (NLO) crystal waveguides overcome obstacles inherent in bulk NLO devices, generating useful quantum states that support leading-edge quantum-communication technology.

The place to be in May is Munich, where the industry’s vendors, institutes, and visitors gather to network, see new products and solutions, and learn about the latest trends in photonics technologies and applications.

Singlemode interband-cascade lasers (ICLs) enable spectroscopic absorption measurements throughout the entire 3-6 μm wavelength range while using very little power.

Micro-etching, or micro-stripping, is a term used to describe the use of a laser to selectively remove a top layer to expose the underlying material ...

I was recently asked to speak at a Photonics Society of Chinese-Americans (PSC) meeting at OFC on entrepreneurship, how to be successful on the job, and how to get into mainstream America.

Though the disk laser concept was established in the early 1990s, ongoing developments have increased the power per disk, and continue to improve beam quality and efficiency.

This issue of Industrial Laser Solutions is the third in which we have presented features equally contributed by domestic and international authors.

Diamond films exceed the properties of most conventional materials in terms of hardness and wear resistance, optical band gap, and chemical resistance.

The tiny size of the μPMT enables onsite applications for photosensing instruments that rely on PMTs.

New developments in swept light sources such as VCSELs with long coherence lengths and akinetic swept sources with pure electrical tuning are enabling high-resolution, high-speed, and long-range OCT imaging.

Over the last 30 years, the advent of plastic as the material of choice for consumer goods has caused a seismic shift in the manufacturing process of goods and parts that were historically built from other materials.

A supplier of laser cutting and welding systems and services, Precision Automated Laser Systems Inc. (P.A.L.S.), San Clemente, CA, began when one ...
