The Ongoing Development of Engineering Talent at G&H Ilminster

Earlier this month, GH Ilminster coating supervisor Mark Long was awarded his accreditation certificate after completing the Sharing in Growth Lighthouse Team Leader Academy course. The Sharing in Growth (SiG) run course aims to develop highly talented leadership to meet current and future manufacturing needs. As part of the course students travel to Toyota UK to experience world class manufacturi

New Ultra Compact Made-to-order Single-SLD Light Sources

Superlum starts offering new ultra compact made-to-order single SLD light sources, SLD-uCS series. The SLD-uCS is a miniaturized version of the SLD-mCS with half the footprint. It has the same I/O and connectors and requires the same input voltages, thus allowing easy replacement of SLD-mCS sources in applications were the system size becomes of critical importance. SLD-uCS sources may be build ba

Meadowlark Optics acquires ICE CubeTM product line from MOXTEK

FREDERICK, CO - April 30, 2020 - Meadowlark Optics, Inc.(Meadowlark) today announced that it has acquired the wire-grid ICECubeTM polarizing beam splitting (PBS) cube product line from MOXTEK, Inc. (Moxtek). The acquired product line will enable Meadowlarkto expand on its existing wire-grid and polarization optics products This is a great addition to our family of polarizers, said Garry Gorsuch,

Laser Engraving

Laser engraving, which is a subset of laser marking is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. Laser marking, on the other hand, is a broader category of methods to leave marks on an object, which also includes color change due to chemical/

How to Select An Electro-optic Q-switch (Pockels Cell)

1. How to Select an EO Q-switch to Meet Your Switching Frequency Requirement The simple answer is that the IMPACT Pockels cells are recommended for operation at a maximum of 1-2kHz. This is not to say they will completely fail to operate at 5kHz. The

Laser-induced Damage in Fibers

Micropositioning, of the input beam must be started from low level of laser beam energy and be carried out very carefully. Sometimes the damage occurs in the place of a hidden defect (alien particle, excessive bending, or some other defect of structur

Basics of Beam Expander

The laser beam enter a beam expander after the laser beam is generated in the laser resonator. The most common type of beam expander is derived from the Galilean telescope which usually has one negative input lens and one positive output lens. The inp

First Pulsing Control of AO Q-switch Drivers

When Q-Switching lasers at high repetition rates, it is normal to observe a giant first pulse after a pause in operation. For many applications this excess energy must be dissipated before or during the next modulation cycle. For example, in lasermarkers, when the time taken for the scan

Attended Photonics West 2020 in San Francisco

It was a great pleasure to participate in Photonics West 2020 conference and exhibition. Damien gave an oral presentation on our research Toward High Peak Power Ultrashort Pulses @ 2um Using Normal Dispersion Thulium Fiber In All-Fiber Laser Amplifier

Basics of F-theta Lenses

General information Lenses used in combination with XY galvanometer scanners are called -theta lenses, plane field objectives or simply scan lenses. -theta lenses are used in various applications from industrial material processing, drilling, welding

Principle of Acousto-Optical Q-switch

The acousto-optical Q-switch often used in the laser marking makes use of mutual interaction between an ultrasonic wave and a light beam in a scattering medium. The light beam that enters in a direction forming a Bragg angle to the wave surface of the

[New Product] Quasi-Continuous Fiber Lasers

The Quasi-Continuous Fiber Laser Series ranges from 75W to 600W, with higher electro-optical conversion efficiency, better optical quality and lower maintenance cost. This series product is a perfect alternative of existing light-pumped YAG laser and

[Application] High Power 780nm for laser cooling and manipulation of Rb atoms

The manipulation of Rb atoms is commonly performed using diode-based laser systems typically producing several hundred mW of usable 780nm power. Many atom optics applications however favour higher laser power whilst maintaining a narrow linewidth and

[Application] Medical Device Manufacturing with FCPA

Lasers are often integral to the production of components for a range of application areas, including medical device manufacturing. These parts are then integrated in numerous products that vary from complex surgical instrumentation to simple single-use products that are used at the time of need by caregivers in hospital settings or out in communities. Designers and manufacturers of medical device
