II‐VI Incorporated has introduced high power laser bars and semi-framed stacks mounted with micro-optic collimator lenses, offering customers very cost-effective modular assemblies that have high performance and reliability and can be easily integrated into direct diode lasers and diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers
This 'Center of Excellence', designated as Coherent Munich, will be a significant upgrade to the organisation’s applications and R&D capabilities
The Lumibird Group presented Merion, its new diode-pumped solid-state laser platform, developed jointly by its French and US teams, at Photonics West in San Francisco at the start of February
nLIGHT, has introduced the element e24i, a 400W fibre-coupled package small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
