Only when performing optimally can laser systems guarantee the most cost-effective production of high-quality components. Even the smallest deviations in beam adjustment or focal position …
A non-contact method developed by MKS Ophir is based on Rayleigh scattering. Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles that are smaller than the radiation's wavelength, …
Thermal imaging techniques involve discriminating between various objects in a scene based on their respective differences in temperature.
The accuracy and detail provided by LiDAR makes it an essential component of many applications that help local authorities and other land management organizations in their areas of …
here has been a tremendous increase in the volume of internet-based digital data communications over the past decade, with global cloud data center traffic reaching 8.2 zettabytes in …
Multiple advanced bioimaging techniques have been developed to improve the axial resolution and allow a true 3D representation of the sample to be reconstructed.
Unlike the pure optical microscopy techniques, PAM takes advantage of the weak acoustic scattering in tissue and thus breaks through the optical depth penetration limit (~ 1 mm) in …
In 2PF, two photons are simultaneously absorbed to cause a higher energy electronic transition in a fluorescent molecule.
Three-photon fluorescence (3PF) microscopy can provide a significant advantage over 2PF microscopy in strongly scattering samples such as the mouse brain.
In CARS microscopy, the pump and Stokes beams are tightly focused into the sample and a CARS image is generated by scanning either the sample or the laser beams.
Optogenetics combines genetic and optical techniques to selectively and specifically modulate signaling pathways in intact living organisms using light.
Flow cytometry is an analytical technique that can rapidly measure the properties of individual cells or particles as they pass through a beam of light, typically a laser.
MALDI is a soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry (MS) that produces rapid and efficient ionization of a wide variety of molecules.
IR spectroscopy can be used for both qualitative and quantitative non-destructive analysis of gases, liquids, pastes, powders, films, and surfaces. The absorption spectrum of a molecule …
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. The laser is particularly suited to ophthalmic surgery since it can provide …
Powder bed fusion systems utilize a heat source—such as a laser—to sinter or melt ultra-fine layers of material like powdered metal to fuse into the desired shape.
In vat polymerization systems—including stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP)—a UV laser constructs an object in a vat of a liquid photopolymer resin by curing …
One super-resolution approach is called stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. This technique uses a confocal microscope and a diffraction limited excitation beam that is …
LiDAR is an active remote sensing technique that is similar to RADAR but, instead of using radio waves as a radiation source, it uses laser pulses. In this technique, a laser source …
As the flat panel display market moves from LCD to OLED display technology, laser patterning and cutting of heterogeneous materials (comprised of multiple organic material films) with …
Ultra-High Velocity
