A high performance tunable laser with a wide tuning range and an output combining high power and high signal-to-noise ratio. It uses a new optical cavity design with precise speed control up to 200 nm/s and sub-picometer resolution and accuracy.

Let’s take a look at some of the tech introductions that are already starting to shape the future of the welding industry.
Currently in its 16th year, the annual event recognizes industrial innovation in photonics, honoring companies that are bringing transformative products to market.
In Case You Missed It
Researchers achieve photonic crystal in-plane beam steering within the terahertz range—which has wide-ranging implications for the realms of optics, materials science, and 6G communications.
Many lives could be saved and pain alleviated if disease screening and detection were simpler and faster—and it’s exactly what an international team of researchers is working toward.
In this Q&A, researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory answer our questions about the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) upgrade and what this engineering feat means for science.
An optical fiber-based platform may lead to brain network-based treatment regimens for neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders.
Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light researchers in Germany create a light-driven optical vortex isolator—with potential for selective manipulation of vortex modes solely by light and sound waves.
The result? Experimentation showed another way to build effective optical frequency combs.
