The pan-European Brilliant Industrial Diode Lasers (BRIDLE) project has concluded after three-and-a-half years of intense research activities. The €4.2 million BRIDLE was enabled by €3 million funding ...

Rarely a week goes by that some company doesn’t offer to send us their latest and greatest laser. You know the type — couple of aluminum extrusions, Class 4 diode flopping around in the breeze, and no ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

Work has started on a new €4.3 million project to improve the brilliance of laser diode bars and develop a direct-diode technology suitable for metal welding and cutting. The European Commission is ...

Scientists have demonstrated for the first time that a single 1-cm laser bar can deliver at least 2 kilowatt (kW) of optical output power, when cooled to 203 Kelvin. The FBH presented the latest ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing applications; however, previous UV-B laser diodes were limited to pulsed operation ...
