Andy Extance finds the pains and gains of laser light’s different behaviour in water for oceanographers using lidar
False positives can largely be eliminated by using an ultra-low noise laser with long-term power stability and one that is designed specifically for such demanding 24/7 inspection applications.
The fastest imaging technique on the market. Combining high-speed ASOPS and efficient THz generation antenna allows for spectroscopic imaging at 10 kpixels / second acquisition speed, with an excellent signal to noise ratio. Being able to measure the phase and amplitude information at this high speed is unmatched by any other device on the market.
Laser Quantum will be exhibiting its Helixx and Axiom systems, and can be found at Novanta’s Photonics West booth 1834, and at the BiOS booth 8457.
The Helixx is a turn-key femtosecond laser, ideal for a variety of scientific and industrial applications. The system features a 250MHz repetition rate and delivers an average output power of more than 2.3W in pulses less than 50fs, tuneable between 720nm - 920nm.
