  1. Ensuring Optimal Laser Performance: What Parameters Should Be Measured? 6/26/2023

    When you purchase a new laser, it always comes with a long list of specifications. Some parameters might not be useful to you, but others might be important to your application.

  2. What Is The Maximum Beam Size My Laser Power Meter Can Accommodate? 6/26/2023

    That question is kind of tricky, mainly because there are many assumptions here. So, let’s try to reframe that by making some precisions about your laser beam itself and the conditions in which measurements are performed.

  3. LASER World Of Photonics Celebrates 50 Years Of Laser 6/7/2023

    Fifty years ago, LASER 73 brought together about 100 exhibitors to marvel at all photonics had to offer. Now, tens of thousands are flocking to Munich to attend LASER World of PHOTONICS, one of photonics’ leading trade fairs.

  4. What Is The Difference Between Absolute And Relative Laser Power Measurements? 6/5/2023

    It’s not uncommon to hear about “relative” and “absolute” measurements when talking about laser power measurements. Those are simply two different ways to approach and define the meaning of your readings. So, let’s sort this out.

  5. Fast Shaping Control Of X Ray Beams Using A Closed-Loop Adaptive Bimorph Deformable Mirror 5/25/2023

    Discover how a new sensor system helped a company avoid issues like drift in their deformable mirror by providing critical deformable feedback on the focal spot in seconds.

  6. Laser Applications In EV Car Batteries 5/24/2023

    Moving away from a modular approach (cells, modules, battery pack) means that servicing or fixing the battery of an EV car is almost impossible, and therefore the reliability, safety, and structural integrity of the battery must be very high. That is where laser processes come into play.

  7. Directed Energy's Walk Through The Valley Of Death 5/15/2023

    Directed energy weapons are at a crossroads of sorts. Will the much-desired technology survive the valley of death?

  8. How Laser Power Output Measurement Increases Productivity On Production Floors 5/1/2023

    In this article, we'll discuss how measuring laser power can help increase productivity on production floors and provide some tips for optimizing your laser power output measurement process.

  9. DE, LEO, And 3D: 3 Unique Applications Of Laser Technology 4/21/2023

    Lasers are used in many ways across nearly every industry. Here, we take a look at how they are being used by the military and in LEO, as well as future use in medical electronics.

  10. Defense + Commercial Sensing: Exploring The Latest Innovations In Imaging, Sensing, And Photonic Technologies 4/11/2023

    Over the past 68 years, SPIE has been connecting, engaging, and serving its global constituency of more than 258,000 people from 184 countries. A big part of meeting that mission is accomplished by hosting conferences and exhibitions and, at the end of the month, SPIE will be hosting a big one: The Defense + Commercial Sensing conference and exhibition.
