Development of a new Piezo-Optical Tip-tilt mechanism

Development of a new Piezo-Optical Tip-tilt mechanism

A new tip-tilt mechanism based on low voltage piezoelectric actuators has been designed by Cedrat Technologies (CTEC) to answer the need of a Point Ahead Mechanism (PAM) for the JPL Deep Space Optical Communication (DSOC) module of incoming Psyche mission. The PAM aims at deviating optical downlink signal towards earth position during DSOC communication phases….

Monocrom: Tiny diode laser stack with real macro channels water cooling

Monocrom: Tiny diode laser stack with real macro channels water cooling

The use of real macro water channels allows to maintain a high optical efficiency when talking about actively cooled Diode Laser Stacks making them cost-efficient in terms of performance and maintenance. Our ENCAST Series consists of laser diodes mounted with our exclusive ClampingTM technology. The solder-free clamping of laser bars is a revolutionary technique which optimizes diode…

Toptica: Optical frequency measurement to the 21st significant digit

Toptica: Optical frequency measurement to the 21st significant digit

Today’s best optical clocks achieve an amazing accuracy and would be off by less than one second over the age of the universe. These clocks rely on probing optical transitions in cold atoms with very stable and narrow linewidth laser light. The probed atoms provide the long-term stability and accuracy of the clock. Frequency combs…

New spectroradiometer CAS 125 speeds up LED production

New spectroradiometer CAS 125 speeds up LED production

Product life cycles are getting shorter all the time. The corresponding increase in the number of product variants presents manufacturing companies with new challenges. Production lines need to be faster and more complex, yet also more user-friendly. Instrument Systems – a well-known manufacturer of light measurement technology – works closely with its customers in the…

Gentec about laser welding

Gentec about laser welding

Laser welding is quickly becoming the preferred welding method in many industrial projects. However, while this technique offers numerous benefits over conventional welding, its performance depends heavily on the power characteristics of the laser beam.  Unfortunately, laser beam power can fluctuate over time, resulting in inconsistent and potential dangerous welds. This is where regular maintenance and expert calibration comes…
