Laser diodes are enabling sophisticated applications, as the legacy advantages of these lasers pair with emerging benefits.

JEFFREY UNGAR, QPC LASERS

More than 30 years ago, acclaimed physicist Edward Teller said, “No one should use a laser unless it’s a diode laser.” Although those of us engaged in the manufacture of laser diodes will perhaps be forgiven for our uncritical endorsement of Teller’s statement, ample scientific justification supports such a perspective. Xenon (Xe) magnetic resonance imaging is an essential solution for specialized bioimaging, especially of the lungs. This method necessitates the hyperpolarization of Xe, which is achieved via laser diode-drive spin exchange optical pumping....Read full article

    laser optics
    Laser optics refers to a broad category of optical components and systems designed for manipulating and controlling laser light. Laser optics play a crucial role in shaping the characteristics of laser beams, such as their intensity, wavelength, polarization, and spatial profile. laser optics suppliers → Here are some common types of laser optics components: Lenses: Lenses are used to focus or collimate laser beams. Plano-convex, plano-concave, and biconvex lenses are...
    diode laser
    A diode laser is a type of laser that uses a semiconductor diode as the active medium to generate coherent light. Semiconductor diodes are electronic devices that conduct electricity primarily in one direction and are commonly used in various applications such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodiodes, and laser diodes. diode laser suppliers → Key features and components of a diode laser include: Active medium: The active medium of a diode laser is a semiconductor...
