Non-contact laser systems for precise wire stripping
Apr 27 , 2021
Mechanical, chemical and heat-based wire stripping methods require frequent cleaning, maintenance and adjustment and can also damage the conductor. Laser-based wire stripping overcomes these challenges. This non-contact approach keeps the conductive material and shield intact—eliminating weak spots for breakage or conductor resistance. At CMS Laser, we’ll design a wire stripping system...

UV Laser Marking for 2D Codes (Data matrix / QR Code / Barcode
Apr 28 , 2021
While demands for smaller and thinner products and more detailed traceability continue to grow, there are increasing needs for packing more information within a limited space on manufactured products. A 2D code can hold tens to hundreds of times the information of a barcode. This high information density allows a 2D code to hold the same amount of information as a barcode in as little as 1/3...

DPSS vs. Fiber Lasers
May 10 , 2021
DPSS vs. Fiber Lasers Fiber lasers are compact, rugged, reliable, & reasonably priced. So, why choose DPSS over fiber? DPSS lasers provide the same benefits fiber lasers offer, plus a host of additional benefits, allowing the versatility, precision, and quality you need for a vast range of applications. The DPSS lasers from Bright Solutions boast a rugged, fixed laser cavity design, resulting ...

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...

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 (...
