  1. Crystal Structures In Super Slow Motion 1/22/2021

    Laser beams can be used to change the properties of materials in an extremely precise way. This principle is already widely used in technologies such as rewritable DVDs. However, the underlying processes generally take place at such unimaginably fast speeds and at such a small scale that they have so far eluded direct observation.

  2. Recycle Metals Instead Of Extracting Natural Resources - With Laser-Based Sensor Technology 1/21/2021

    To strengthen the competitiveness of the industry in terms of raw material supply, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and Cronimet developed Ferroleg. GmbH jointly developed a laser-based sorting process for metal scrap as part of the BMBF-funded project »PLUS«. A new sensor makes the recycling of metallic raw materials many times more efficient than was previously possible.

  3. Scientists Use Diamonds To Generate Better Accelerator Beams 1/20/2021

    Beam-driven wakefield acceleration approaches are promising candidates for future large-scale machines, including X-ray free electron lasers and linear colliders, as they have the potential to improve efficiency and reduce operation cost.

  4. Researchers Develop Laser-Based Process To 3D Print Detailed Glass Objects 1/12/2021

    Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, imaging, illumination or laser-based applications.

  5. Affordable, High Performance Beam Collimators 1/7/2021

    Optical Surfaces Ltd. announce a new series of high-performance beam collimators designed for Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) testing of optical systems.

  6. NUBURU Strengthens Blue Laser IP Portfolio With Seven New Patents Across 3D Printing And Material Processing 1/6/2021

    NUBURU, the leader in high power blue laser technology, today announced that it has been awarded seven new patents, further demonstrating its dominant intellectual property portfolio in visible laser technology and its applications across 3D printing and material processing.

  7. New F-Theta Lens For Ultrashort Pulse Electronics Production 11/25/2020

    The new F-Theta lens for 532-nanometer applications is the second high-power lens for use in the green wavelength range in Jenoptik’s Silverline lens portfolio. The solid fused silica lens is especially designed for high-volume electronic production with ultrashort pulse lasers such as PCB depaneling.

  8. Laser Technology: New Trick For Infrared Laser Pulses 11/23/2020

    Ordinary solid-state lasers, as used in laser pointers, generate light in the visible range. For many applications, however, such as the detection of molecules, radiation in the mid-infrared range is needed. Such infrared lasers are much more difficult to manufacture, especially if the laser radiation is required in the form of extremely short, intense pulses.

  9. An INRS Research Team Pushes Back The Boundaries Of High-Energy Laser Pulses 11/20/2020

    Using the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) facility, the research team of Professor François Légaré of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has pushed back the boundaries of high-energy pulse propagation in a nonlinear medium through the observation of high-energy multidimensional solitary states (MDSS).

  10. Nonlinear Ionization Dynamics Of Hot Dense Plasma Observed In A Laser-Plasma Amplifier 11/19/2020

    The last decade has been marked by a series of remarkable discoveries identifying how the universe is composed. It is understood that the mysterious substance dark matter makes up 85 % of the matter in the universe.
