Spectra-Physics®, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces InSight DeepSee, an extraordinary new ultrafast laser system that takes multiphoton imaging to new depths.  Based on a novel proprietary technology, the new InSight DeepSee delivers nearly double the tuning range of existing ultrafast lasers and provides seamless access to long infrared wavelengths for deepest in vivo imaging.  Robust [...]

Ophir Photonics Group, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, featured first of its kind, new power/energy measurement and beam profiling systems at Laser World of Photonics 2011 in Munich, Hall B2 Stand 257. Among the new products that were introduced is the BeamTrack Series, the industry’s first thermal sensors that combine power and [...]

A new Carrier-Envelope Phase (CEP) stabilized, Titanium:Sapphire regenerative amplifier-based laser from Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) now offers much higher power than any previously available system of this type.  Specifically, the Legend Elite Duo CEP delivers up to 10 Watts of power, as well as higher repetition rates (up to 10 kHz), yet it does not [...]

Laser structured strain gauges can be used for exact measurement of forces at critical points, such as for highly stressed tooling machines or complex 3-D workpieces. Currently, the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) is developing sensor structures using ultrashort laser pulses, with the goal of making the production of high-quality thin-film strain gauges economically attractive for [...]
