A new method of creating laser pulses, more than 1,000 times as powerful as those currently in existence, has been proposed by scientists in the UK and South Korea. The scientists have used computer ...

Scientists have finally figured out how mysterious “breather” laser pulses work, solving a puzzle that has frustrated laser ...

If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured in ...

The nickel-titanium alloy Nitinol has revolutionized certain segments of the medical device industry. Its unique characteristics have been employed to create a new generation of devices such as ...

A team at the University of Stuttgart has engineered a compact short-pulse laser that achieves up to 80% efficiency—far surpassing current models. Their new multipass design reuses light within a ...

Lasers have widespread applications as a light source in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, medicine, high-speed communications, electronics, and scientific research. In recent years, the ...

The laser wavelength, pulse duration, and fluence (energy density) significantly influence the ablation process and the resulting plasma plume. Shorter wavelengths and higher fluences generally lead ...

“With our new system, we can achieve levels of efficiency that were previously almost unattainable,” says Prof. Harald Giessen, Head of the 4th Physics Institute at the University of Stuttgart.

As the global manufacturing landscape shifts toward digitalization and hyper-personalization, conventional engraving methods struggle to meet rising demands for speed, accuracy, and material ...
