Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing ...

[Jeshua Lacock] from 3DTOPO owns a large-format CNC (4’x8′, or 1.2×2.4 m), that he strongly feels is lacking laser-cutting capabilities. The frame is there, and a 150 W CO2 laser tube has been sitting ...

High-power direct-diode lasers have emerged as a competitive option for applications like cladding, welding and heat treating. Stuart Woods of Coherent explains why the basic construction and ...

Comparison of a 5W laser, 10W, and 20W diode laser. All these machines have their pros and their cons, but this is a quick ...

Now researchers in Japan have reported the world’s first continuous-wave UV-B semiconductor laser diode operating at room temperature on a low-cost sapphire substrate. This breakthrough by researchers ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

The development of power diode pump laser sources that demonstrate extended life and higher brightness have resulted in this novel technology becoming commercially feasible. This effect prevents ...

The ISL58214 is a highly integrated laser diode driver designed to support a laser beam scanning MEMS projector. Operating from a single 5V analog supply, it directly drives either a cathode-grounded ...

Researchers say they have designed a laser diode that emits the shortest-wavelength ultraviolet light to-date, with potential applications in disinfection, dermatology, and DNA analyses. Nagoya ...

2 years ago, you could only turn to 1 supplier for a laser weeder. Today, there are at least 8. Most suppliers can deliver ...
