WWhat was once a tool for specialists is becoming increasingly accessible to a broader user base. Ease of use, power and adaptability are opening up the possibility of adapting light to individual needs and using it in a variety of ways.

Fluorescence microscopy leverages the fluorescence effect to visualize structures and processes at the nanometer scale. This technique relies on fluorochromes, which, when excited by specific wavelengths of light, emit light of a different color.

LIDT is an essential parameter when selecting and specifying laser optics for laser applications. The LIDT can be determined with the aid of various…

This series of blog articles on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) will start by addressing the causes of LID during manufacture. It will then…

Ultra-short pulse laser is the generic term for all laser sources that generate pulsed laser beams in the picosecond or femtosecond range…

Beam expansion systems (also referred to as Beam Expander) are used for optimum adaption of beam cross sections between light sources (i.e. laser) and the following optical element.
