BLM Launches Tunable 4kW Five Axis Laser Cutting System

Light can calculate functions during propagation and interaction with structured materials, with fast speed and low energy consumption. The use of all optical neural networks for general computing requires an optical activation layer with nonlinear dependence on the input. However, existing optical nonlinear materials either have slow speeds or very weak nonlinearity at the level of natural light ...

Electro optical modulators (EOMs) are the main components in optical communication networks, which can control the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light through external electrical signals.In order to achieve ultra compact and high-performance EOM, most of today's research focuses on on-chip devices that combine semiconductor technology with state-of-the-art tunable materials. However,...

An international team of scientists is rethinking the fundamental principles of radiation physics, aiming to create ultra bright light sources. In a new study published in Nature Photonics, researchers from the Higher Institute of Technology in Lisbon, Portugal, the University of Rochester, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Optical Applications Laboratory in France proposed the us...

In early spring of 2025, China's laser industry once again attracted the attention of global laser giants, ushering in a new wave of international investment boom.After several global laser giants accelerated their layout in China in 2024, in February 2025, Carl Zeiss from Germany and Bystronic from Switzerland, two global giants in the optical and laser fields, also announced significant expansio...

The highly respected Finnish Institute of Geospatial Studies will utilize the advanced LiDAR system developed by the Fraunhofer Institute of Physical Measurement Technology for future ocean surface surveys. Significant progress is expected in data quality and on-site measurement efficiency, and the state-owned research department is collaborating with Fraunhofer IPM on a joint project. They are jo...
