Detect Missed Pulses with Centauri External Triggering
If you are having problems with the performance of your pulsed laser and suspect that it might occasionally not be firing each and every pulse, then the Centauri power meter can help determine, and log, if and when there are indeed any ‘missed pulses’. Centauri can be configured to detect missed pulses when used together…

Destroy the Target, Not Everything Else: Beam Management in High-Power Directed Energy Laser Projects
Since Columbia University graduate student Gordon Gould and Bell Laboratories scientists Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow (among others) coined the term LASER in the 1950’s, applications of the laser have seemed limitless. Working with these new discoveries had to be exciting, but applying hundreds of kilowatts of laser power, like the ones being used in…

Surface Micro Structuring Using Ultrashort Laser Pulses
Surface micro structuring using ultra short pulse lasers is a unique technology with many applications such as thin film ablation, creating antireflective and optically absorptive surfaces, super hydrophobic or hydrophilic surfaces with anti-bacterial properties, and surface texturing for improved bonding strength. In the semiconductor and display industry, USP lasers perform very well-defined jobs such as…
