Fused Silica in Radiation Environments
Tue, Dec 13, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
An increasingly wide range of applications need to be able to function in harsh environments, not only on space missions but also here on Earth, in particle detectors, for example. It is important to understand radiation's key processes and their effects on fused silica in order to design optical instrumentation that can avoid harm to its systems, enabling it to complete its mission. Eduard Klett of Heraeus Conamic provides an overview of fused silica as an optical material and how it is affected by different types and doses of radiation. He classifies types of radiation and discusses their causes. Presented by Heraeus Conamic.
High-Power Diode Laser Modules for Manufacturing and OEM Integration
Wed, Dec 14, 2022 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
High-power diode lasers have progressed significantly since their first appearance in the market. Today, these lasers are able to utilize high power levels and high-percentage electro-optical efficiencies for selected wavelengths. There are additional techniques that support the manufacture of special products, including line narrowing and spectral locking, with extraordinary results. Dr. Jörg Neukum, provides an overview of this technology, addressing wavelengths, cooling technologies, beam shaping, and power levels. He also presents selected examples of the realized performances. Sponsored by Coherent.
