The BestNet 19 inch top opening fiber optic interconnect unit is a fiber optic patch panel and cabinet, ideal for wiring, terminating, and managing fiber optic terminations, suitable for interconnect, cross connect, or splice applications in LAN environments. Modular fiber optic interco...

Recently, nLIGHT, a manufacturer of high-power semiconductors and fiber lasers, released its preliminary performance forecast for the fourth quarter of 2024.According to disclosed information, nLIGHT expects its revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 to be between $46 million and $48 million, lower than the estimated range of $49 million to $54 million when it released its third quarter results on...

CU Boulder published a study in Optical Letters demonstrating a new high-speed laser guidance method for imaging applications, using a fluid scanner built around an electrowetting prism to replace traditional mechanical components."Most laser scanners today use mechanical mirrors to steer beams of light," said Darwin Quiroz from CU Boulder."Our approach replaces that with a transmissive, non-mecha...

Laserline will once again showcase its latest laser systems for joining and deposition welding at this year's Welding & Cutting show in Hall 5. This time the focus is on the world's first blue diode laser with an output power of 4 kW, which is said to have been developed for processing copper components.Its 445 nanometer wavelength is absorbed by copper and copper alloys, which is five t...
