Advantages of sub 50 femtosecond pulses in multiphoton microscopy 09 Mar 2023

HÜBNER Photonics

One of the main advantages of using ultrafast femtosecond fiber lasers is the high peak power that they offer, which is a result of their ultra-short pulse duration. This high peak power makes these lasers ideal for a wide range of applications, including multiphoton microscopy. In this white paper we show that sub 50 fs pulse durations provide unprecedented multiphoton conversion efficiencies with intense peak powers.

Transmissive Optical Components for >100 kW CW Laser Systems 20 Sep 2022

Altechna

Since the invention of the first laser in 1960, the constant development and expansion of laser technology has led to the production of the modern-day versions of high-power continuous-wave (CW) laser systems that are now being used in various industries.

Choosing the Right Camera Comes Down to the Application 24 Aug 2022

Teledyne Lumenera

There are many types of cables and connectors used with today’s industrial cameras. Determining what camera interface makes the most sense for a vision system comes down to several factors. This guide will explore and provide an understanding of the available interfaces within the industrial and scientific area scan camera market, along with each of their key features.

Modified SiC mirrors: low-loss solution from UV to Mid-IR. Galvo-scanning systems, laser material processing, sensing and other applications 16 Aug 2022

Altechna

Every day, new applications for laser light emerge and current ones – from laser manufacturing and processing to LiDARs – are growing in both importance and market size. A considerable number of these applications use galvo scanning systems to control the laser beam and guide it to perform a specific task. Altechna now has a lowloss solution to do these tasks as efficiently as possible.

A Better Way to Focus: Linear Motor Focusing Stage Provides Superior Alternative to Piezo Actuators 22 Mar 2022

Dover Motion

This white paper addresses high performance Z axis focusing for automated microscopy, along with some recent innovations in this space. Historically, piezo driven actuators have been used for these applications, but a Piezo actuator has very distinct limitations. Direct drive linear motor stages provide many advantages when compared to piezo nanopositioners. This whitepaper discusses both approaches to Z focusing motion.
