Newport Announces Terahertz Pulse Generation Kit
Newport Corporation introduces the new terahertz (THz) pulse generation kit using a sub-35-fs Ti:sapphire amplifier system. The kit can be easily integrated with a Ti:sapphire amplifier to generate terahertz pulses which can be further used for linear, nonlinear, and time-resolved spectroscopy applications.
Coherent Introduces Higher Power CEP Ultrafast Laser Amplifier
A new Carrier-Envelope Phase (CEP) stabilized, Titanium:Sapphire regenerative amplifier-based laser from Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) now offers much higher power than any previously available system of this type. Specifically, the Legend Elite Duo CEP delivers up to 10 Watts of power, as well as higher repetition rates (up to 10 kHz), yet it does not […]
Workshop »Lasers in Silicon Photovoltaics« on May 25, 2011 in Munich
Supplying the world with electricity from renewable sources is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. A decisive aspect is the effort to considerably reduce the costs of generating electricity from photovoltaics and to increase cell efficiencies. But it is still a long way to make this product competitive with conventionally generated electricity, […]
New Surface Sensor for Use in Rough Environments
Laser structured strain gauges can be used for exact measurement of forces at critical points, such as for highly stressed tooling machines or complex 3-D workpieces. Currently, the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) is developing sensor structures using ultrashort laser pulses, with the goal of making the production of high-quality thin-film strain gauges economically attractive for […]
