World's First emICCD Cameras
New, emICCD technology available exclusively in PI-MAX®4 cameras. One camera combines the advantages of intensifiers (ultrashort, subnanosecond exposure times) AND the benefits of EMCCDs (linear gain and high quantum efficiency) to provide single-photon sensitivity and quantitative performance for scientific imaging and spectroscopy applications.

ZFSM - Fiber-Coupled Lasers
Z-LASER presents newly developed “ZFSM” laser systems that utilize the superior optical properties of fibers. Various projection patterns such as micro-lines or multi-lines are available. The output power range is up to 50mW combined with red/green/blue wavelengths or IR (980nm).

End-Caps for Longer Life Fiber Optic Cables
End-Caps for single-mode and PM fiber (125µm to 400µm OD clad) provide reduced power density where laser light enters or exits the fiber. The result is a “free space” optical end-face that is resistant to damage from high-power lasers and contaminants from the UV to 488nm lasers. End-Caps can be installed into a variety of connectors and ferrules. See our website for more information.

2013 Laser World of Photonics
Laser-based additive manufacturing, poised to usher in a new era in the industrial market, will be a highlight of Laser World of Photonics 2013 in Munich May 13-16. Trade show visitors will have ample opportunities to gather detailed information about the current state of this new technology and try it out for themselves.
Unlike conventional techniques used to process metals and plastics, light makes it possible to affordably manufacture even complex products with the smallest dimensions, the widest range of materials and complex geometries.
For the first time ever, visitors attending Laser World of Photonics 2013 can personally experience the potential that this technology has to offer in the special show "Digital Photonics Production" in Hall C2, Stand C2.340. The special show, organized by Messe München and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology and RWTH Aachen University, will show the entire production chain – from digital data to customized or complex components – ready for series production and using the tool of light.
Three design and production stations will allow tradeshow visitors to experience “live” the many advantages that digital photonics production has to offer the automotive industry, aviation/aerospace, power engineering, lightweight design, medical technology and the consumer sector (mass customization). The design and production stations will give them a look at corresponding software tools, machines and exhibits, and visitors will have a chance to experience the practical side of digital photonics production themselves under professional supervision.
Another special presentation, "Photons in Production," will be held in Hall C2, Stand C2.621. With the theme Building Blocks for the Future, Photons in Production will focus on laser-based materials processing that gives modern production engineering a number of ways to meet future challenges, such as energy-efficient manufacturing. The iwb at TU Munich and the Bavarian Laser Center will present systems ranging from affordable 3-D printers to manufacturing techniques for industrial use.
Lasers in Manufacturing (LiM 2013) will also be a featured session in the World of Photonics Congress 2013, which is collocated with Laser World of Photonics. Organized by the German Scientific Laser Society (WLT), LiM 2013 is a scientific conference that focuses on the latest developments, as well as future trends, in laser-based materials processing.
