Lasers, Light Sources White Papers
Integrating Sphere Fundamentals and Applications
An integrating sphere collects electromagnetic radiation from a source completely external to the optical device, usually for the purpose of flux measurement or optical attenuation. Newport’s general purpose spheres (GPS) are designed as cost-effective general purpose spheres to be configured in various ways for a variety of applications. With an extensive line of accessories available, a single sphere can perform various integrating sphere tasks such as uniform illumination, light measurement,...
DPAL Pump System Exceeding 3kW at 766nm and 30 GHz Bandwidth

Illumination for Law Enforcement, Logistics, Safety, and Security
Today’s fast changing world requires an ever-increasing level of sophistication in security applications. Illumination is a crucial component of any system employed to discover anomalies in scanned objects or find minute variations that could cause...
Tailored Bar Concepts for 10 mm-mrad Fiber Coupled Modules Scalable to kW-class Direct Diode Lasers
Laser modules based on newly developed tailored bars are presented. The modules allow efficient fiber coupling of more than 320 W into 10 mm-mrad or 160 W into 6 mm-mrad at one single wavelength. For further power scaling dense wavelength coupling...
Narrow-Line Fiber-Coupled Modules for DPAL Pumping
A new series of fiber coupled diode laser modules optimized for DPAL pumping is presented, featuring greater than 400W from a 600µm core fiber of 0.22NA. Addressing one of the key challenges in DPAL pumping, the modules achieve a spectral width of...
UVSCALE Visualizes UV light amount distribution by color density
One side of the base film has a UV light sensitive layer, with the opposite side having a white-colored layer. The light sensitive layer changes color according to the amount of UV light it receives, so the amount of light distributed on the exposed...
Ultra-Narrowband Optical Bandpass Filters with Large Format and Improved Temperature Stability
Hard coated ultra-narrowband optical filters made using modern plasma processes offer much improved transmission, temperature stability and out of band blocking as compared to legacy soft coatings. These filters are used in optical systems as...
UV Curing of Fiber Optic Coating
Current optical fiber manufacturing processes use UV lamp systems for curing protective coatings to the glass fiber. These systems suffer from low efficiency, high maintenance costs and environmental concerns. UV LED curing systems provide a...
Time-Lapse Imaging with Lamp and LED – Stability vs Repeatability
Advancements in LED technology today enable LEDs to provide a compelling alternative to lamps for fluorescence microscopy illumination and have become increasingly popular. This article discusses the differences in stability between Lamps and LEDs,...
Use of White Light Fluorescence LED in long-term Live Cell Imaging Applications
Lamps have long been used in microscopy facilities to conduct time-lapse imaging experiments. Light uniformity, stability and sample exposure are key in generating reliable data. In this study, we evaluate an LED system (X-Cite 120LED) for our...
Reduction of Substrate Thermal Damage Using Pulsed UV LED Curing Systems
UV LED curing systems deliver narrow bandwidth, high intensity UV light for low heat, rapid curing of optically-activated materials. Although LED curing systems do not deliver unwanted IR or visible light, some UV-absorbing substrates may still...
Narrow Line Diode Stacks for DPAL
Diode pumped alkali metal vapor lasers (DPALs) offer the promise of scalability to very high average power levels while maintaining excellent beam quality, making them an attractive candidate for future defense applications. A variety of gain media...
High-power Visible Spectrum Diode Lasers for Display and Medical Applications - Beam Sources with Tailored Beam Quality and Spectral Characteristics
Improved beam shaping concepts allow coupling of red and blue diode lasers into smaller fibers. For medical applications beam sources with narrow wavelength distribution in the blue spectral region were developed. Modules up to 100W in a 400µm...
Beam Expansion - Standard Concepts Re-interpreted
Everyday work in an optics laboratory would be unthinkable without beam expansion systems. They serve to optimally adjust the beam cross sections between the light sources (e.g. lasers) and the subsequent optical elements. Precise illumination of...
Power Technology’s iMAT® DPSS Laser Platform Ideal for Raman Spectroscopy
Power Technology’s iMAT series of DPSS lasers are inherently beneficial to the Raman Spectroscopy industry because of its patented technology which inherently produces actively stabilized single frequency wavelengths at 532 nm and 1064 nm. This...
Real-time Profiling for Focusing, M2, Divergence & Alignment
Beam intensity profiling is an essential tool in many aspects of photonics. The precise intensity distribution in a focused laser beam is critical in many applications: flow cytometry, laser printing, medical lasers, and cutting lasers are just a...

UV Curing Adhesives Shine
UV curable adhesives are among the most user friendly adhesive products on the market today—if you know how to apply them. Master Bond’s new white paper takes a closer look at the capabilities of UV curable formulations, the requirements for an...
Welding with High Power Diode Lasers
Whereas CO2 and fiber lasers have long been used for welding metal parts together, there are many cases where high-power diode lasers make much more sense. This paper provides an introduction to high-power diode laser technology and its use in...
Heat Treating with High Power Diode Lasers
CO2 lasers have been used to case harden metal products for decades, but their low reliability and electical conversion efficiency makes them less than ideal for such heat treating tasks. High-powered laser diode lasers overcome the disadvantages of...
Cladding with High Power Diode Lasers
This article provides an introduction to high-power diode laser technology and its use in cladding. In particular, it compares the capabilities and characteristics of diode lasers with traditional cladding methods as well as alternative laser...
