Lasers for Interferometry

Interferometry Interferometry refers to a wide range of techniques that rely on the superimposition of two coherent light paths, most often split from a single source, to form an interference pattern. Lasers for Interferometry This interference arises

Lasers for Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry Flow cytometry is a method for the quantitative determination of cellular properties, analysing light incident on a focussed stream of fluid containing a heterogenous population of biological samples. Lasers for Flow Cytometry Cells, or other particles, are individually passed through a light path at high speed while suspended in a tightly focussed stream of fluid, causing an energy

Lasers for Quantum Technology

Already many organisations rely on atomic clocks for their most accurate measurements of time and there is a large scale movement to take quantum gravimeters out of the lab and into the field in order to monitor ice sheets and magma flow in volcanoes. The possible applications are widespread. The industrial cost for oil exploration companies to find one leak within thousands of miles of pipe runni

Lasers for Holography and Imaging

Rather than an image as recorded by standard photography, a holographic image is a record of the difference in phase and amplitude intensities of the two light paths as they arrive at the recording media. The resulting interference image is meaningles

Lasers for Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy

When a laser is incident on a sample, most of the photons will be scattered elastically and will not be subject to any energy change, known as Rayleigh Scattering. Raman scattering events are significantly more infrequent, only around 1 in a million

Product Release: Jasper Flex

Fluence is excited to introduce its new femtosecond laser product, the Jasper Flex. With power up to 30W, the innovative Jasper Flex is intended for systems with volume constraints that require high laser power and outstanding pulse quality. The Jasper Flex is a smaller version of the Jasper laser, which was the first all-fiber high-power laser built using SESAM-free technology. This ground-breaki

Optical Isolator

An optical isolator, or optical diode, is an optical component which allows the transmission of light in only one direction. It is typically used to prevent unwanted feedback into an optical oscillator, such as a laser cavity. The operation of the dev

Fiber Laser Basics

A fiber laser (or fibre lase) is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium. They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing. A fiber laser with MOPA configuration is shown as follows: Pump laser diode: Fiber-coupled diodes

Choosing the Right Galvanometer and Servo for the Job

Galvanometer-based optical scanners are the preferred positioning solution for an increasingly broad range of industrial, scientific, imaging, and medical laser applications. While a number of scanning approaches are available, galvanometer-based scanners commonly called galvos offer flexibility, speed and accuracy at an attractive cost. While many imaging applications take advantage of the galvos
