Trumpf announces four personnel changes

Recently, American semiconductor equipment manufacturer MKS Instruments announced plans to build a factory in Penang, Malaysia to support the production of wafer manufacturing equipment in the region and globally. This development plan will be divided into three stages to build a new factory, and it is expected to break ground and start construction in early 2025.Why choose to build a factory in M...

One vision for computing the future is to use ripples in magnetic fields as the fundamental mechanism. In this application, magnetic oscillators can be comparable to electricity and serve as the foundation of electronic products.In traditional digital technology, this magnetic system is expected to be much faster than today's technology, from laptops and smartphones to telecommunications. In quant...

According to the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), the L4 ATON kilojoule laser at the ELI beamline facility in Dolní Břežany near Prague, Czech Republic, has achieved peak powers exceeding 5 petawatts (10¹⁵ W).The research institute stated: “This confirms that L4 can operate safely and reliably at this energy level, which is crucial for scaling up power and preparing for scientific experiments.”...

Semiconductor laser pump sources, especially those with a wavelength of 969nm, have become the preferred choice for high-power/high peak energy disc lasers due to their reduced quantum losses and heat generation.The 3000W 969nm fiber coupled semiconductor laser system launched by BWT uses 800 μ m NA0.22 fiber to output flat top optical energy distribution, combining lightweight and excellent optic...

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...
