A team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and Harvard University has proposed a fundamentally new way to generate ...

It’s been almost six year since Fleet Readiness Center Southwest (FRCSW) began using its hard-point alignment fixture and laser system in repairs to H-60 Seahawk helicopters. Located in Building 325, ...

Yongcui Mi has developed a new technology that enables real-time shaping and control of laser beams for laser welding and ...

When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...

Lining up the beam from your homebrew (or retrofitted) laser cutter doesn’t come without its challenges. For instance, how do I use my remaining eye to align an invisible beam that has enough power to ...

Wavelength separation or combination can most easily be achieved by mirrors with special dichroic coatings. Application examples include the input of pump radiation to solid state lasers, the ...

They can move in steps that are a fraction of a wavelength of light, or about 1/10,000th the diameter of a human hair,” explained Lee Feinberg, optical telescope element manager of the NASA James Webb ...
