Thorlabs announces acquisition of Praevium Research

Through the SOMA project funded by the European Union, organic silicon material expert Aiken has collaborated with research partners and clients to develop a new specialized iron silicon powder that can more efficiently 3D print motor components.Yesterday's electric motor was usually made by cutting and shaping parts from a metal plate. 3D printing can fundamentally improve efficiency and...

Researchers at Busan National University, led by Kwangseuk Kyhm, Professor of Ultra Fast Quantum Optoelectronics from the Department of Optics and Mechatronics, are enhancing signal amplification inside cesium bromide lead perovskite nanosheets through patterned waveguides.Perovskite is a highly attractive material in solar cell applications, but its nanostructure is now being explored as a new la...

Recently, Confluence Networks LLC has announced a long-term partnership agreement with Laser Light Communications Inc., a developer and provider of software controlled optical network services.According to the agreement, Laser Light will adopt Confluence-1 submarine fiber optic network, which Confluence Networks is about to launch, as the core part of its global network. The protocol will last for...

The interaction between strong laser pulses and plasma mirrors has been a focus of recent physical research, as they generate interesting effects. Experiments have shown that these interactions can generate a nonlinear physical process called high-order harmonics, characterized by emitting extreme ultraviolet radiation and brief flashes of laser light.Researchers from the Czech Extreme Light Infra...

When it comes to additive manufacturing, some people may not have heard of it, but when it comes to its other name: 3D printing, no one is unaware.In fact, the name 'additive manufacturing' better illustrates the essence of this processing method. From ancient times to the present, humans have put in great effort to achieve the goal of processing 'raw materials into the shapes we need'. From the S...
