Significant progress made in 808nm high-power semiconductor laser chips

The fully 3D printed electric spray engine is suitable for small satellite in orbit maneuver, and its production cost is only a small part of that of traditional thrusters.Image source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USAThe Massachusetts Institute of Technology team recently demonstrated an electric spray engine made entirely of 3D printing technology, which can be propelled by emitting ...

Optical parametric oscillator laser tests fibers and components to characterize the spectral response of optical components, thereby providing a competitive advantage in the optical industry.OPO lasers have long been used in complex testing and measurement applications, such as mass spectrometry, photoacoustic imaging, and spectroscopy. Now, these "tunable" pulse lasers are being used to facilitat...

LaserON, a laser industrial application group at the University of Vigo, is leading a European project that aims to revolutionize the glass recycling process by developing a new technology called glass laser conversion, so that everyone can recycle at home. This group is led by Professor Juan Pou and Professor Rafael Comesa ñ a, and is part of Cintecx, leading EverGlass. Its partners come f...
