Manufacturing Solutions for Hollow-Core Fibers
Tue, Dec 16, 2025 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
This webinar explores the complete hollow-core fiber manufacturing chain and the Nextrom machinery that enables it. Beginning with preform manufacturing systems, it examines equipment designed to produce high-quality structures for hollow-core geometries. The webinar will then focus on the fiber draw tower, where precise control of furnace temperature, capstan tension, and internal gas pressure is essential. Finally, it will cover how proof testing equipment ensures the mechanical strength and long-term reliability of the hollow-core fiber. Along the way, the webinar will show how Nextrom's advanced process control and automation features improve yield, reduce defects, and enable consistent fiber quality. Presented by Nextrom.

Dynamic Beam Lasers for Free-Space Optical Propagation
Mon, Dec 22, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST
This webinar will explore how CBC and dynamic beam shaping are redefining high-power optical propagation. Attendees will learn how DBLs overcome turbulence, enhance beam stability, and enable precise, controllable optical transmission in real-world free-space environments. Dynamic beam lasers (DBLs), based on coherent beam combining (CBC), mark a new frontier in free-space optical propagation. Unlike traditional single-beam sources, DBLs can dynamically control beam shape, phase, and direction in real time. With power levels reaching up to 120-kW continuous wave, flexible beam steering, and adaptive beam shaping, DBLs deliver high-precision, high-reliability optical transmission across free-space environments.

In Association with the Journal Optica, Imaging With Freeform Optics — With Jannick Rolland
We are teaming up with Optica to bring you insights into the latest studies that are leading to breakthroughs in optics and photonics. In this episode, we’re joined by Jannick Rolland, the Brian J. Thompson Professor in Optical Engineering at the University of Rochester, to explore how freeform optics are reshaping modern optical design. Following her work in a study published in the journal Optica, Rolland discusses her successes and setbacks in her early works with freeform optics and talks about the potential for this technology in a range of applications.
