Practical Aberration Correction Using Freeform Optics — Pushing the Boundaries of Laser System Performance
Non-chromatic aberrations in laser systems can be compensated, in a cost beneficial way, using a single custom manufactured freeform optical element. Any combination of pointing, defocus, spherical, astigmatic, coma, and other higher order aberrations, can be compensated. Making this freeform in fused silica with a precision direct write laser machining process enables an inline manufacturing solution that pushes the boundary of optical performance in applications ranging from laser inertial fusion to fluorescence microscopy.

Spectroscopy in the MIR — With Søren Friis
Søren Friis, head of sales and business development at NLIR, breaks down the technique of MIR spectroscopy, overviewing technology, applications, and instrumentation. As a key addition to the end user’s toolkit for industrial tasks that strain many familiar methods, MIR spectroscopy may be best explained by its applications. But, Friis explains, innovative system architectures and rising trends also help tell the story.
