Why Measuring Temperatures at Micro-Scale is so Difficult? Scaling temperature measurement techniques from the macro- to micro-scale proves quite difficult due to the evasiveness of temperature sensing ...

Introduction and motivation Additive manufacturing (AM) is the method of creating products from digital 3D models by fusing together successive layers of materials. Without the need for additional tooling, ...

Flaw detection and rapid fatigue fracture Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained popularity in a number of high-value industries due to their capacity to produce small batches of geometrically ...

From the device that you are looking at to the international space station, glass is the invisible material that improves our daily life.  A large class of glass materials are derived from quartz, or most ...

Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) is a popular super-resolution microscopy technique that researchers use to magnify microscopic organic compounds and proteins. This method is superior to ...

Introduction In this article we will discuss the use of HWG and PIR fibers for CO2 and CO laser beam delivery. Since their invention over half a century ago, CO2 and CO lasers have attracted the attention ...

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 ...

One area where photonics is integrated prolifically is the aerospace and defense world. Giants of the aerospace and defense industry rely heavily on implementing photonics technologies to successfully ...

One of the benefits of lasers are their versatility. They are useful far beyond the bounds of the traditional scientific realm. One of these more ‘non-traditional’ places to find lasers would be in ...
