The biennial Singapore Airshow is one of the world’s most influential international aerospace and defense exhibitions. For IPG Defense Products, this provides a platform to forge strategic alliances ...

Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes are a type of light wave that can carry the external torque of photons as they move through space. They are useful in many fields, from optical communications to ...

Laser beam interactions with plasma are at the forefront of contemporary high-energy density physics, offering transformative potential in areas ranging from inertial confinement fusion to advanced ...

When the green laser encounters atoms along its path through the crystal, it gives the electrons in those atoms a bit of extra energy. In their high-energy state, those electrons can absorb blue light ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Laser linewidth measures how precisely a beam of light maintains its frequency and color purity. The narrower the linewidth, the more monochromatic and spectrally pure the laser. The team's ...

Physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory just created a petawatt laser beam with the highest peak power and current ever. This beam was formed from a bunch of electrons that were ...

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are required for all Class 3B and Class 4 lasers and laser systems (including imbedded lasers if hazards are accessible), and must be approved by the Laser Safety ...
