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 ...

Optical trapping is a way of cooling atoms to the point where they are no longer in motion—or are trapped. One may instantly think of optical tweezers when hearing the mention of optical trapping. While ...

Whether you are new to laser marking or have already had significant experience in laser marking technologies, it’s a quest for continuous improvement of the quality and contrasts of laser marks. ...

Laser based therapy of scars and wounds is a relatively new technology treatment that started in the 1980s. At first, CO2 and argon lasers were used to vaporize scar tissue and lessen the texture of the ...
