A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added further along the signal path. The current source, although ...

Laser systems operating in the 2-micrometer wavelength range open diverse opportunities in medical technology, agriculture, and plastics processing. In the Eurostars project DECOMP, Laser Zentrum ...

Supercontinuum light sources—often called "white lasers" because they emit a broad, continuous rainbow of colors—are essential tools for everything from advanced medical imaging to environmental gas ...

Conventional systems for measuring luminescence lifetime and spectra of glowing materials, like phosphorescent powders or ...

Last month we discussed how all interconnects will be optical in the data center in five years, but that’s only part of the story. Every optical interconnect needs a laser. The laser provides the ...
