61. OSI Laser Diode To Showcase LCW/SCW Series Of Instrument Laser Modules At Laser World Of Photonics
    5/24/2017

    OSI Laser Diode, Inc. (LDI) will showcase the LCW/SCW Series of high-power laser modules for optical testing at Laser World of Photonics in Munich, Germany, in Hall B2, booth #161, June 26 - 29, 2017. The specially-designed devices feature high-peak optical power (pulsed) up to 200 mW@1000mA and continuous-wave (CW) optical power up to 75 mW to meet the demanding performance requirements of the optical test equipment market. The new series offers a variety of wavelength options including 1310 nm, 1490 nm, 1550 nm, 1625 nm, and 1650 nm.

64. Improving Performance In Computer To Plate Printing Using Semiconductor Laser Arrays
    6/23/2010
    Over the last 25 years, electronic typesetting and desktop publishing (DTP) have revolutionized the printing industry. Almost anyone with a computer and the right software can create and print professional materials. However to achieve the highest print quality, it is still necessary to use a commercial or industrial printer with advanced technology for delivering state of the art print quality standards. By Professor John H. Marsh, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Technical Officer, and Stephen P. Najda, Ph.D., Technical Expert, Intense Ltd.
65. Heaviest Atoms Spotlight
    9/29/2016

    The analysis of atomic spectra is of fundamental importance for the understanding of atomic structure. So far, the heaviest elements for optical spectroscopy studies were not available, as they do not yet exist in nature may be artificially produced in ponderable quantities.
