The industry’s only non-contact beam monitoring system for high power lasers has been introduced by Ophir Photonics Group at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015. BeamWatch is designed for very high power YAG, fibre and diode lasers used in industrial material processing applications, such as welding and cutting operations in automotive, heavy equipment and appliance manufacturing, or in oil and gas drilling.

CEA-Leti and EV Group have launched a new programme in Nano-Imprint Lithography (NIL) called INSPIRE to demonstrate the benefits of the versatile, powerful nano-patterning technology and spread its use for applications beyond semiconductors.

Compact optical transmission possibilities are of great interest in fast, energy-efficient data exchange between electronic chips. One component serving this application is the Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM) which is able to convert electronic signals into optical signals. Scientists at the KIT and the ETH in Zurich developed a plasmonic MZM, only 12.5μm long, which converts digital electrical signals into optical signals at a rate of up to 108G...

From 22nd to 25th June, Munich will be the meeting place for the international photonics industry with more than 1,180 exhibitors and 27,000 visitors expected at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015. With its eight conferences and approximately 2,700 lectures, the World of Photonics Congress, held in the ICM Internationales Congress Center München, 21st to 25th June, is one of the most important scientific platforms in the world.

Ophir Photonics Group has announced three high power laser sensors and scatter shield accessories designed for measuring large and divergent laser sources, such as diode stacks and arrays. The 6000W-BB-200x200 is a very large aperture, 200x200mm, water-cooled laser power/energy sensor able to measure from 100 to 6,000W. The L2000W-BB-120 is a large aperture, 120mm, water-cooled laser power/energy sensor able to measure up to 2,000W.

Nanopositioning specialist PI (Physik Instrumente), a leader and solution provider in motion control and positioning components and systems, releases its latest product line catalog on Air Bearing stages. The new brochure on US-designed and manufactured precision positioning equipment was introduced at this year’s “LASER World of PHOTONICS” – one of the world’s leading international trade shows and conferences for th...

Physik Instrumente has released a new member of the PIMag family of precision positioning stages with magnetic direct drives. The compact and ultra-precise V-551 motorised linear translation stage debuted at Laser World of Photonics, held in Munich, Germany last month.

A team of researchers led by UCLA electrical engineers has demonstrated a new way to harness light particles, or photons, that are connected to each other and act in unison no matter how far apart they are, a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement.

The project PluTO+, Plasma and Optical Technologies: increasing the Quality and Effect of Optical Coating Technologies was launched in October 2014 to research new production methods for the modern optics industry. This project unites industrial companies and research institutes and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of €9.5m across a time span of three years.

Increasing internet traffic and video streaming will encourage large data centre investments in the coming years with around $143bn invested for new data centre projects worldwide. Large online companies such as Amazon, Facebook and Google are leading the investment in next-gen 'green' data centres. There is a trend towards building larger data centres, consolidating and increasing the density of server concentration for the sites which require m...
