"Thermal confidence at the treatment site can change what's possible for next-generation vascular tools," said Charles Golub, Medical Marketing at Lightera. "Our goal is to help medical device ...

Researchers in Quebec, Canda, have developed the first fiber laser that can produce femtosecond pulses in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Fiber lasers producing ultrashort, bright ...

Australian-US team says wavefront-shaping of input light lifts power threshold for SBS scattering by an order of magnitude. A narrowband laser beam shaped by a spatial light modulator excites many ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added further along the signal path. The current source, although ...

A new technology in the fiber-optics market is striking the right note with investors and raising cash at a time when industry confidence is low and venture capital is hard to find. A number of ...
