II‐VI has introduced what it says is the industry’s first aspheric sapphire optics for next-generation laser systems that extend far beyond the 10kW range

Edmund Optics' new TECHSPEC Low GDD Ultrafast Mirrors are designed to have high reflectivity at a 45° angle of incidence for ultrafast laser beam steering applications.

Optics manufacturer LBP Optics is continuing its strategy of growth through diversification with the purchase of Symons Mirror Technology (SMT)

Scanlab, an OEM manufacturer of high-quality laser scan systems, has appointed Christian Sonner as its head of research and development (R&D). The highly experienced control expert will further strengthen the company’s market position in digital products and control solutions for the photonics industry.

Scansonic, a producer of laser optics for welding, brazing and hardening, is showcasing two new innvovations in laser hardening at the Laser World of Photonics this year: its RLH-A laser processing optics and a new laser hardening process called CoHard.

RLH-A laser processing optics

Lasers for hardening steel surfaces can be used for high-precision hardening of the smallest structures. The new Scansonic RLH-A Rel. III laser optics offer increased precision compared to the earlier version.
