CO2 lasers are very powerful and reliable laser sources. However, the 10 µm wavelength has the disadvantage that it cannot be seen with the naked human eye nor can it be measured with simple and ...

Lasers usually conjure up the image of bulky devices with mirrors inside that shine a coherent beam out one end. However, scientists from Kent University have created a model that's just a flat piece ...

Unaffected by target surface color or reflectivity, the Big Beam shadow beam laser sensor can measure the height or width of an object within its 30-mm-wide beam at speeds of up to 5 kHz. The ...

BFi OPTiLAS, pan-european partner of Ophir Photonics, is proud to announce the new BeamTrack Laser Power/Position/Size Sensors. BeamTrack is a unique series of thermal detectors that combine multiple ...

Physik Instrumente’s S-335 two-axis fast steering mirrors with PICMA piezo actuators aim to be the benchmark for laser beam steering in high-speed applications. Ceramic encapsulated PICMA piezo ...

Using ultra-fast laser beams, a team from the Irradiated Solids Laboratory has designed an experiment that allows both the ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...
