30W 1mJ Fiber Laser for Material Processing Applications
Manlight, a leading company in fiber amplifiers and lasers, has launched its 30W version of 1µm Ytterbium doped fiber laser for industrial applications such as marking and deep engraving. The laser operates at 30kHz-100kHz repetition rate, with 100ns pulses and average power of 30W. A 40ns version will be released soon to increase peak power up to 20kW. Both versions include unique feature developed by Manlight, the EPL (Exchangeable Laser Technology) technology, where the pump diode can be swapped on site by the customer without specific tools or fiber splicing. Lifetime is no more an issue.

Lambda Research Corporation announces the release of TracePro 6.0 with x64 capability!
TracePro 6.0 accurately simulates larger CAD models by taking advantage of the additional available memory in the x64 Edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems. The Windows 64 bit architecture allows users to simulate these CAD models with larger ray sets to investigate uniformity, solar position, medical tissue scatter and color issues with multiple sources in their models.
New features in TracePro 6.0 include an interactive CIE plot showing color coordinates on a color gamut, enhanced repetitive prism geometry to simulate state-of-the-art display backlights, and solid concentrator constructors specifically designed to model today’s next-generation solar collection applications.
