LASER DIODE FUNDAMENTALS: WHAT ARE LONGITUDINAL MODES?
May 11 , 2021
LASER DIODE FUNDAMENTALS: WHAT ARE LONGITUDINAL MODES? Laser diodes must meet two critical requirements to facilitate the lasing process. The first requires that, at a minimum, the laser cavity's gain increases to the point that it reaches unity with the level of losses. This unity state is known as the gain threshold. If you missed it, read our previous blog, titled "Laser Diode Fundamentals: Dio...

ADVANTAGES OF TWO-PHOTON MICROSCOPY UTILIZING FEMTOSECOND FIBER LASERS
May 11 , 2021
ADVANTAGES OF TWO-PHOTON MICROSCOPY UTILIZING FEMTOSECOND FIBER LASERS Microscope Traditional microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas (mostly cells) that are not within the resolution range of the naked eye. Compound microscope designs feature objectives and condensers, but also consists of very simple, single-lens instruments that are often hand-hel...

uv or green laser Etching on Glass
May 12 , 2021
How deep will the laser etch into glass? With a laser you can create a very light etch. This is not sandblasting and you won't achieve that depth, but you can quickly create very elaborate designs with a laser that is lightly etched into the glass. It's a unique look that many people prefer to sandblasting. Do I have to mask the glass before engraving? Unlike sandblasting, wit...

WHY IS A LOW JITTER FEATURE IMPORTANT IN ACTIVELY Q-SWITCHED DPSS LASERS?
May 13 , 2021
WHY IS A LOW JITTER FEATURE IMPORTANT IN ACTIVELY Q-SWITCHED DPSS LASERS? In actively Q-switched lasers, the user controls the pulsed laser output, so that no laser pulse emission occurs without providing a proper input signal, aka "the trigger". Due to the trigger signal propagation through the interface electronics, the Q-switch driver chain, and the laser resonator build-up time, a time delay (...

Is laser engraving on ABS plastic harmful if you smell it?
May 13 , 2021
Is laser engraving on ABS plastic harmful if you smell it? Did you apply a data-driven approach to improve site structure? A confusing site architecture doesn‘t confuse Google, it impacts profits. Untangle it to see results! Of course no. Check the wikipedia below first: ABS is stable to decomposition under normal use and polymer processing conditions with exposure to carcinoge...

What is the cheapest and best place to get plastic, laser engraved?
May 13 , 2021
What is the cheapest and best place to get plastic, laser engraved? The "right" answer to this question is going to depend on exactly what you need done. What you're describing is, for industrial manufacturers of things, still a relatively short run, and laser cutting/engraving is much like printing. The setup is the hard part, and the rest is largely about letting it run. Here are the sorts of qu...
