Study Finds Laser Light Can Cast a Shadow
Study Finds Laser Light Can Cast a Shadow

Researchers at the University of Ottawa have demonstrated that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a visible shadow. The finding challenges the traditional understanding of shadows and opens possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control another laser beam.  Read Article 
Beam Shaping Method Optimizes 3D Printing Process
Beam Shaping Method Optimizes 3D Printing Process

A collaboration between the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT and RWTH Aachen University has developed an approach to beam shaping to individually optimize laser powder bed fusion processes. Customized beam profiles improve component quality, reduce material losses, and enable previously impossible scaling of the build-up rate of the single beam process.  Read Article 
Photonic Time Crystals Amplify Light Exponentially for Lasing and Sensing
Photonic Time Crystals Amplify Light Exponentially for Lasing and Sensing

The first practical approach to creating photonic time crystals at optical frequencies could lay the groundwork for faster optical devices. A team comprising scientists from Aalto University, the University of Eastern Finland, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and Harbin Engineering University previously demonstrated photonic time crystals at microwave frequencies. Designing the crystals at optical frequencies has remained a challenge, due to the need for a fast, large-amplitude variation of properties in the material platforms for these crystals.  Read Article

Fused Silica Step Index Fibers: Advanced Preform and Fiber Metrology
Fused Silica Step Index Fibers: Advanced Preform and Fiber Metrology

Tue, Dec 10, 2024 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
This webinar discusses advanced preform and fiber measurement techniques for specialty fibers, with a particular focus on fibers produced using the POD (plasma outside deposition) process. In this process, fluorine-doped fused silica is applied to the outside of a high-purity core rod made of synthetic quartz glass to produce the refractive index step required for light guiding. Depending on the specific application wavelengths of these specialty fibers, various synthetic fused silica materials are available as core materials, which enable the production of specialty fiber preforms tailored to the application. The session begins with a brief introduction to the manufacturing process and typical applications of specialty fibers, followed by an in-depth examination of the characterization of the preforms and the resulting fibers. Presented by Heraeus Conamic.
