Ever wonder how facial recognition has come around to be implemented in smartphones today? Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers, (abbreviated VCSEL, pronounced “vixel”) are to thank for such ...

What is the current fashion in the global laser market? If you run a factory focusing on material processing, your first answer is probably fiber laser. And expectedly you might be planning to order one to ...

Everyone has seen different depictions of future technology in media and entertainment. One of the recurring themes in “futuristic” worlds is holographic screens individuals can interface with. With ...

Today’s blog post is sponsored by Horiba – a leading supplier of analytical and measurement systems. We often like to employ optics and optical systems to see imperfections we normally cannot. Sometimes, ...

The Beginnings of Virtual Reality The definition of virtual reality (VR) has changed throughout history. In 1929, the first iteration of a flight simulator was invented. This allowed pilots to train, ...

Optical fibers have become an integral part of the telecommunications industry, as well as the photonics market. While silica fibers are most commonly used for such applications, there may be a better ...

Researchers began manipulating laser technologies to use in scientific research long time ago. Which began as abstract exploration of the behavior of light and its interaction with nature, soon turned into ...

The history of glass making can be traced back to at least 3600 BC, perhaps accidentally created from slags of metal-working processes. Since then this transparent material has provided us with beautiful ...

Optical cavities form one of the crucial elements in the laser system design apart from the gain medium and other active and passive elements. For applications other than lasers, optical cavities can ...

Electro-optic modulators are increasingly becoming a vital component of optical processing systems. We have previously written about electro-optics generally, the different kinds of electro-optical ...
