Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...

Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...

Gaps in the coherence spectrum of diode lasers have been known to hinder research. Anselm Deninger and Thomas Renner look at how these gaps are being filled and the applications that are benefiting ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

...and Fraunhofer IWS spinoff Fusion Bionic wins Fraunhofer Founder Award 2024. A USP laser writes a fiber Bragg grating into a fiber. Whether for applications in medical technology, ...

Spectral beam combining (SBC) has emerged as a promising technique to enhance the output power and brightness of diode laser systems by merging multiple beams of discrete wavelengths into a single, ...
