Hybrid steel-and-aluminum structures are essential for creating lightweight components with high rigidity. Due to its higher welding-brazing speed, smaller heating area, and high automation, the laser ...

Introduction In this article we will discuss the use of HWG and PIR fibers for CO2 and CO laser beam delivery. Since their invention over half a century ago, CO2 and CO lasers have attracted the attention ...

Choosing the type of laser for your experiment or project may be a daunting task. With so many beam parameters to select from, how do you know where to start? One of the best ways to tackle any task is to ...

Introduction to Thin-film Processes Thin-film deposition is a fundamental step in the fabrication process of micro/nano devices.  A thin film is typically less than 1000 nano-meters in thickness. The ...

Beam profiling systems are an essential technology to ensure the quality and uniformity of lasers. Beam profilers measure the optical spatial intensity of an input laser beam,  providing information about ...

Laser beams are notable for their small size and long range focusing capabilities. These qualities have been used in medicine for precision surgery, and in industry for precision cutting. However, change ...

What is Laser Welding? While laser cutting is used for separating parts of an object, laser welding is a process that joins together separated materials. When a laser beam hits the material surface, the ...

Plasma Arc Cutting, commonly referred to as PAC is a manufacturing process that is associated with a range of electrically conductive materials such as stainless steel, manganese steel, titanium alloys, ...

Introduction Ever wondered how quantum entanglement for medical imaging might help in cancer diagnosis? In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the spread of cancer in aging Western ...

Story of the Mars mission The introduction of low-cost fiber-optic laser amplifiers is one recent advance in photonics that has rekindled interest in directed-energy propulsion. It has now been proven at ...
