The optical industry “almost completely relies on mechanical processes in its process chains,” So says laser and photonics research center Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT). This, ...

A line of ZnSe laser optics for heavy steel cutting lasers up to 4kW that come in various focal lengths to optimize laser performance has been introduced by Laser Research Optics. PROVIDENCE, R.I., ...

Appotronics, the inventor of ALPD® laser technology, today unveiled the world's first Laser+LCOS optical engine prototype for ...

Together with five partners from across Europe, LZH scientists are developing a lidar system for space-based measurements to ...

A new technology in the fiber-optics market is striking the right note with investors and raising cash at a time when industry confidence is low and venture capital is hard to find. A number of ...

"Xero L60i is a groundbreaking rangefinder that pushes the boundaries of what's possible for rangefinding technology. Combining superior optic quality, robust mapping and integrated navigation ...

When ground-based telescopes view stars, the light they collect must weave its way through layers of air. When those layers are turbulent, the light gets blurred, so images from observatories with ...

Most lasers have operated along similar physical principles: a small, precisely dimensioned, closed cavity containing specific materials that will get incoming photons excited enough to band together ...

To help take extra sharp images of space, a telescope in South America is firing a mega-laser – one made up of five beams – into the night sky. The sodium laser "constellation" – as scientists call it ...
