  1. Focused Into Fiber, And New Laser Wavelengths 4/23/2015

    Bob Struthers with PD-LD gave us a quick rundown of some of their usual products on display at DSS this year and also shared some exciting news in regards to the new laser wavelengths they now offer. He then turned it over to Tom Deberardine so we could get a closer look at PD-LD’s active fiber optic coupled component offerings.

  2. Accurate Metrology In Adverse Environments 4/22/2015

    John Waka with Zygo started our day two DSS 2015 coverage off with an introduction to the DynaFiz™ — a dynamic laser interferometer that can essentially "freeze" vibration, enabling accurate optic metrology in environments that are too violent for traditional temporal phase shifting techniques.

  3. Optical Filter And Coating Solutions 4/21/2015

    Jason Palidwar of Iridian Spectral kicked off our DSS exhibition coverage by giving us a closer look at what they’re showcasing this year.

  4. Custom Plano Optics: Making Laser Amplifiers for the World's Most Powerful Laser 3/17/2015

    The world's most powerful laser needed a high precision custom optics manufacturer. In this case study, high fluence laser amplifiers were developed into a volume production process for the National Ignition Facility project.

  5. Optimize Your Laser Processes 2/13/2015

    On the third and final day of the Photonics West 2015 exhibition, John McCauley with Ophir Photonics gave us a quick tutorial on their laser performance measurement equipment   and how it can be used to help OEMs and system integrators optimize their laser processes while ensuring quality and consistency over time.

  6. New Galvano Scanner And Parallel Laser Beam Shifter At Photonics West 2015 2/11/2015

    Taiki Iida with Canon showed us some of their Galvano scanners that were on display this year, most notably two new models.

  7. Hyperspectral Imaging, Laser Beam Analysis, And Thermography Solutions 2/10/2015

    Herve Copin with Xenics showed us two exciting new product releases at Photonics West this year. 

  8. Why Are You Still Using HeNe Lasers? 2/9/2015

    PD-LD’s booth has significantly grown since we last saw them. It might have something to do with their SLM 632.8 laser diode, a true alternative to HeNe lasers. Bob Struthers walked us through a side-by-side comparison of the two laser types, and the results are impressive, to say the least. If you’re still using an HeNe laser, you probably want to watch this.
