Gentec – VCSEL: Testing and measuring your beam

VCSEL lasers have come a long way since their first introduction. What started as a revolutionary technology in the telecommunications industry, is now used as a lighting source in many modern remote sensing applications. Since devices with these lasers are typically powered by batteries, laser efficiency and power consumption are a top priority. As such,…

Photonics Industries’ Lasers Aid in COVID Fight at NIH

Photonics Industries’ Lasers Aid in COVID Fight at NIH

The NIH is currently employing a Photonics Industries’ DM20-527 laser to visualize the size of microscopic “speech droplets” that were postulated to be one of transmission mechanisms responsible for the community spread of COVID-19. A light sheet of green light is created to illuminate the plume of speech droplets generated when people speak. The green…

Nanoscribe: Mobile technology for eye examinations

Novel photonic integrated technology will bring optical coherence tomography from stationary clinical use to mobile use Vienna/Karlsruhe.  The Medical University of Vienna is heading a European research project, in which engineers and scientists are developing a handheld device for mobile ophthalmic care based on low-cost and miniaturized photonic chip technology. The novel photonic integrated technology is…

LAYERTEC supplies segmented optical components

LAYERTEC supplies segmented optical components

LAYERTEC, developer and manufacturer of high-quality laser components based in Mellingen, Germany, is currently expanding its range of customer-specific structuring of layer systems using lithography. Segmented components can be used for lateral phase and / or amplitude modulation and are therefore suitable for example for mode selection or beam splitting. The structured components are designed…

Diamond GmbH: E-2000™ XB – the classic in a revolutionized lensed version

Diamond GmbH: E-2000™ XB – the classic in a revolutionized lensed version

The lensed ferrule operates on the expanded beam principle without physical contact of the optical surfaces, ensuring reliable and maintenance-free optical connections with insensitivity to dirt and debris. The use of exceedingly precise components and unique assembly techniques results in a highly repeatable, low insertion loss ferrule, that opens new perspectives in the context of…
