A new solid-state laser developed could transform semiconductor chip manufacturing, providing an alternative to gas-based ...

Here I discuss the filters and dichroic mirrors used in the beam path ... is the polarization of the laser. Optics that are used at 0 degrees AOI have no effect on polarization state, but any ...

EOMs are commonly used in applications that require q-switching such as research laser systems, military lasers, and medical uses. Their ability to modulate large aperture beams makes them ideal for ...

The effect occurs because the green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating laser beam, creating a ...

Merging some esoteric physics principles with an advanced instrument creates a magnetic microscope with resolution better ...

Right off the bat, we’ll say that this video showing a laser beam stopping in mid-air is nothing but a camera trick. But it’s the trick that’s the hack, and you’ve got to admit that it ...

"Our demonstration of a very counter-intuitive optical effect invites us to reconsider ... However, some 3D computer models of laser systems depict the laser beam as a cylinder.

"However, by using a unique dual-beam optical setup and ... account laser focus alignment, laser power fluctuation, the optical system drift, and memory effect, which stems from the excitation ...

Of these processes cutting demands the most power – usually a beam of more than 1 kW. “Laser diodes, and solid, or fibre, lasers are the main technologies used in manufacturing today ...

"However, by using a unique dual-beam optical setup and ... account laser focus alignment, laser power fluctuation, the optical system drift, and memory effect, which stems from the excitation ...
