ABSTRACT DEADLINE APPROACHING
Photonics Media is seeking presenters for “Biophotonic Imaging for Medicine,” a free digital conference to be held June 11. We invite presentations from researchers, clinicians and engineers working at the graduate, doctoral and professional levels. Topics of interest include light-sheet microscopy, optical coherence tomography, photoacoustics, computational imaging and more. Visit www.photonics.com/bioconference to find out more and submit an abstract.

The wave-particle duality of light is well known, though experiments to date have only been able to observe one property at a time. But now a team of researchers in Switzerland and the U.S. has used a specialized electron microscope to capture light behaving as a particle and as a wave simultaneously.

Narrow-Line Fiber-Coupled Modules for DPAL Pumping
DILAS Diodenlaser GmbH
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 <<0.1 nm and wavelength tunability of +/- 0.15 nm. A limiting factor in the reduction of the spectral line width is the optical absorption induced thermal gradient inside the VHG. Simulated profiles and demonstrated techniques to minimize thermal gradients will be presented. Data is shown for potassium pumping at 766 nm, with full applicability to other wavelengths of interest.

Nanopositioning, or moving objects with atomic-scale precision, is a key enabling technology in areas such as semiconductor processing, microscopy and nano imaging, hard-drive and electronics manufacturing, and medical device manufacturing. The ability to reliably position a sensor, tool, or part to nanometer-level tolerances requires a deep understanding of all components in a motion system.

FEATURED VIDEO
DataRay – BeamMap2
The patented BeamMap2 multi-plane scanning slit profiler uniquely speeds measurement and adjustment of focused and divergent laser beam assemblies, either as a standalone instrument, or interfaced to automated adjustment systems. This brief video describes the BeamMap2 operating principles and shows example measurements on actual focused and diverging beams.
