The carbon dioxide laser market is expected to reach 7.1 billion US dollars by 2033

Recently, Luxium Solutions, a high-performance crystal material supplier, announced the successful completion of its strategic acquisition of Inrad Optics, a leading optical materials company. This milestone transaction not only greatly enriches Luxium's innovative product matrix, but also injects valuable resources, operational wisdom, and capital drive into Inrad Optics. Both parties will work t...

A project at Macquarie University has demonstrated a way to narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand.Published in APL Photonics, the technique offers a promising route toward ultra-narrow linewidth lasers for potential use in a wide range of pump-pulse systems.Laser linewidth measures how precisely a beam of light maintains its frequency and color purity, and narrow-li...

Scientists at Purdue University in the United States have developed a new type of two-photon polymerization technology. This technology cleverly combines two lasers and utilizes 3D printing technology to print complex high-resolution 3D structures while reducing femtosecond laser power by 50%. It helps to reduce the cost of high-resolution 3D printing technology, thereby further expanding its appl...

Recently, a team led by Gao Chunqing and Fu Shiyao from the School of Optoelectronics at Beijing University of Technology combined optical spatial coordinate transformation with photon spin Hall effect to construct a photon angular momentum filter for the first time internationally, achieving on-demand regulation of photon spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum.The related achievements...

Recently, the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the United States has developed a method for quantum light emitters, which stacks two different atomic thin materials together to achieve a light source that generates circularly polarized single photon streams. These light sources can also be used for various quantum information and communication applications.According to Han Htoon, a researc...
