The unique absorption properties of 2µm lasers allow them to create small and precise cuts for medical and materials processing applications

A new generation of small, cost-effective, CW ultraviolet (UV) lasers allows more applications to move to UV wavelengths for increased power and precision.

Master the fundamentals of ultrafast lasers and how to choose optics that can withstand their high powers and short pulse durations.

The short pulse durations of ultrafast lasers make them interact with optical components differently, impacting the optic’s laser damage threshold.

Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are IR lasers that utilize tens or hundreds of quantum wells to decouple the emission wavelength from the bandgap energy.

The LIDT of continuous wave (CW) lasers is dependent on laser power, beam diameter, and other use parameters.

Advances in laser technology have made it possible to produce pulses ranging from a few femtoseconds to tens of attoseconds. Learn more at Edmund Optics.
