We first reported that UCF had broken the world’s shortest laser pulse record, and it seems UCF is on a roll! Assistant Professor Jayan Thomas has just developed a new material using nanotechnology that will help keep pilots safer from destructive lasers. Here is an excerpt from UCFTODAY …
UCF: World Record Laser Pulse Recorded
UCF has just broken the world’s shortest laster pulse and might be on track to help scientists watch quantum mechanics in action… Here is an excerpt from UCFTODAY …
PS or FS laser, what is better?
Picosecond versus Femtosecond Lasers, what is better? We have posed this question to some of our members before with no definitive answer and are really curious as to what our members think about the use of these types of lasers. Does the application make a difference in which laser you choose? Tell us why in the comments below!
LIA Presents Its First Laser Welding & Joining Workshop
By Geoff Giordano While excitement continues to build around new, more efficient and more profitable uses of lasers, such as with additive manufacturing or ultrafast processing, traditional welding and joining applications are still at the forefront of the 21st-century photonics repertoire. Emphasizing this major segment of laser-based manufacturing, the Laser Institute of America has added […]
