Hamamatsu Photonics' new system produces 250J pulse energy, the world’s highest among laser-diode-pumped lasers
This equipment irradiates a laser beam with an output power of 2.5kW ideal for surface quenching onto steel materials of various shapes and sizes
This QCL module combines mid-infrared light beams emitted from two QCLs to boost the output power to a level ideal for micromachining of fluoropolymer resins that are used for high frequency device substrates, and a vast range of vehicles and transportation machinery
Hamamatsu Photonics has created a spatial light modulator that delivers pulse laser power capability up to 400 GW/cm2, by utilizing its advanced thin-film and circuit designing technologies. This new SLM to high-power industrial pulsed laser systems will contribute to achieve high-throughput, high-precision laser processing to processing resistant material such as light-weight and high-strength carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP).
The first webcast in the Lasers In Action series covered blue diode lasers, automated weld monitoring and thermal laser processing.
Together with the organisers of LASYS, Laser Systems Europe will be hosting a series of webcasts in June, each of which will discuss emerging applications and technologies across various aspects of laser materials processing
The SPOLD and LD-Heater laser processing systems from Hamamatsu were recently introduced in Europe and feature real-time integrated temperature measuring
