From cutting steel, to drilling via holes in silicon, to marking plastic, a whole range of material processes now make use of the laser to produce results not previously practical.

Modern science is able to do what it does because it’s quantitative; it relies on measurements and calculations to deliver solid results.

There is often confusion when dealing with beams emerging from a fiber. The geometry is a bit different; we have a diverging beam coming out of a small aperture.

Hair removal…skin rejuvenation…treatment of certain skin conditions…These are all applications in which IPL is commonly used.

LEDs are increasingly replacing traditional light sources in a wide range of applications. They are small, cheap, power efficient, have longer lifetimes…and the list of advantages goes on.

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are a type of semiconductor laser diodes. Unlike edge emitting laser diodes, VCSELs emit upwards and thus can be easily packaged as emitter arrays containing hundreds of emitters on a single chip.
