Watch: Ophir Premium Energy Sensors – Even for UV
Many laser applications use pulsed beams, and pulse widths are becoming very short – even fs pulses are not uncommon. UV wavelengths are particularly useful in many such applications; because of the high photon energy associated with the short wavelength, non-thermal mechanisms can be used to ablate or cut material. This enables some unique applications…

Watch: BeamWatch AM Additive Manufacturing
Lightweight, complex mechanical parts can now be “built to order” quickly and automatically, thanks to Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. AM involves building up a structure by adding material to it layer by layer, with each layer being a precise cross section of the structure. Originally used for rapid prototyping, AM – now based on various…
