Scientists can now snap ultra-powerful laser pulses in one shot. RAVEN reveals distortions instantly, unlocking breakthroughs ...

The Mamyshev oscillator (MO) is a type of fiber laser capable of producing high-energy laser pulses at a tunable repetition ...

Fiber lasers aren’t nearly as common as their diode and CO2 cousins, but if you’re lucky enough to have one in your garage or local makerspace, this technique for depositing thin films of ...

Lasers have widespread applications as a light source in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, medicine, high-speed ...

Fiber lasers are considered to be a popular choice for cleaning tasks in composites manufacturing because of their comparative efficiency, versatility, compactness and long life. Continuous fiber ...

Jack of all trades, master of none, as the saying goes, and that’s especially true for PCB prototyping tools. Sure, it’s possible to use a CNC router to mill out a PCB, and ditto for a … ...

Choosing the right laser technology CO2 vs Fiber vs Diode depends on the specific needs of the application. CO2 lasers are versatile and effective for non-metallic materials, making them ideal for ...

The laser link stretched over 1.5 miles at a speed of 1.25 Gigabits per second, and the company says it has achieved a top speed of just over 10 Gigabits, which is on par with the fastest fiber ...

"We significantly reduced the size of a laser by using 3D printing to fabricate high-quality micro-optics directly on glass fibers used inside of lasers," said research team leader Simon ...

This involved designing an optical element with commercial software, inserting the fiber into the 3D printer, and then printing the small structure on the end of the fiber. This process must be ...
