86. White Paper: 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.

88. White Paper: Ultra Low Timing Jitter Performance And Characterization Of Origami Femtosecond Laser Series 6/17/2010
    Compact, industrial-grade optical pulse sources with very low timing jitter and sufficient power are becoming a key building block in many advanced applications. Particularly, the recent advances in the measurement and control of the carrier-envelope offset frequency have greatly expanded the range of possible applications of such frequency combs. Therefore, the off-the-shelf availability of industrial-grade femtosecond and picosecond optical pulses sources is vital for wide application areas. In response to this imminent need, Onefive GmbH has released a series of ultra-short pulsed lasers qualified for industial applications. These lasers are based on the successful Origami-platform which has already been adopted industry-wide.

90. Fiber Laser Chirped Pulse Amplifier 5/13/2010
    Fiber lasers are known to offer advantages in maintaining stable operation over years, low total cost of ownership, and predictable operation in a small package. Few mirrors need aligning. At high power, the fiber laser provides simpler heat removal of high powers in a long thin fiber. The simplicity of a fiber removes the need for water cooling, and usually air cooling or conduction cooling is sufficient. The fiber laser can usually be more compact, important for embedded applications. For these and other reasons, industrial and medical laser sources have been migrating to fiber lasers where possible.
