Mycronic receives first order after upgrading solid-state lasers

With funding from the National Science Foundation of the United States, researchers at the University of Rochester are developing photonic chips that use quantum technology called "weak value amplification" to replace mechanical gyroscopes used in drones, enabling them to fly in areas where GPS signals are obstructed or unavailable.Using this quantum technology, scientists aim to provide the same ...

Researchers at the University of Sydney combined photon filters and modulators on a single chip, enabling them to accurately detect signals on the broadband RF spectrum. This work brings photonic chips closer to one day, potentially replacing larger and more complex electronic RF chips in fiber optic networks.The Sydney team utilized stimulated Brillouin scattering technology, which involves conve...

Vast's Haven-1 program will become the world's first commercial space station, equipped with SpaceX's Starlink laser terminal, providing connections to its crew users, internal payload racks, external cameras, and instruments at speeds of gigabits per second and low latency.Max Haot, CEO of Vast, said: "If you need to provide high-speed, low latency, and continuous Internet connection on the orbit...

The CNC Machine Tool and Metal Processing Exhibition under the China International Industry Fair gathers global intelligent machine tool equipment and focuses on cutting-edge metal processing technology. The exhibition categories cover metal cutting, metal forming, laser processing, sheet metal stamping, machine tool supporting functional components and peripheral products, with a display area of ...

Recently, according to Tom's Hardware, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in the United States is developing a PW (1015 W) level large aperture thulium (BAT) laser. It is reported that this laser has the ability to increase the efficiency of extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) light sources by about 10 times, and may potentially replace the carbon dioxide laser used in current EUV too...
