Laser cutters are primarily classified by their laser source, which determines: For most users, everything comes down to ...

A team of researchers from the Accelerator Technology & Applied Physics (ATAP) Division at Berkeley Lab, California, has developed a new technique for combining fiber lasers operating at different ...

Yet, despite this advantage, thulium lasers have been stuck at around 1 kilowatt of output power for more than a decade, limited by nonlinear effects and heat buildup. One promising route to break ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

Laser sources operating at the 1.2 μm wavelength band have some unique applications in photodynamic therapy, biomedical diagnosis and oxygen sensing. Additionally, they can be adopted as pump sources ...

Fibertek, Northrop Grumman and OFS Laboratories are expected to develop high-power fiber lasers under a U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency program. Fiber lasers are up to two times more ...

Optical scientists have created a high-power 'Star Wars' style-laser, boosting their use in defense and for remote sensing applications. Optical scientists have found a new way to significantly ...
