will display their latest laser systems for scientific and industrial applications at Photonics West, booth #1227. The company is presenting several products at this year’s live event including lasers for quantum applications and biotechnology. Live demos can be found at their booth during the exhibition.
Efficiency ranging from deep UV to near-infrared
Toptica Photonics will demonstrate its latest innovations for industrial metrology and quantum technology at booth 641. Dedicated laser solutions for biophotonics will also be shown at Bios, booth 8641.
At Photonics West, Toptica launched a terahertz imaging extension for its successful time-domain spectroscopy platform, TeraFlash
German photonics firm Toptica has signed an updated contract with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) for the production of four more lasers to be used in the adaptive optics system of the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT)
Topica will be showcasing its new FemtoFiber dichro midIR, a broadband mid-infrared laser (5-15µm) ideal for mid-infrared spectroscopy and near-field studies
Toptica welcomed its new vice president of production & logistics, Dr Mathias Schindler, who started on April 1st, 2017
Toptica launched the first member of its new TopWave ultraviolet CW laser series
Toptica’s CTL (continuously tuneable lasers) diode lasers are now available at 1,050, 1,320 and 1,470nm wavelengths with continuous, mode-hop-free wavelength tuning up to 110nm
Toptica’s new laser combiner engine iChrome CLE includes four laser sources in one compact box
In order to support Toptica's continuous growth, the company has added a new OEM Senior Business Development Manager, Dr. Holger Stupp. His PhD is in Physics, specifically in the field of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy under laser irradiation
Professor Paul Shore led the team that micromachined the complex mirrors within James Webb’s mid-infrared instrument. He chats about the technical lessons learnt
EMF invested a great deal of time and effort in developing a coating system for producing long-lasting diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings on chalcogenides at scale
The properties of chalcogenide glass optics have opened up a number of use cases in infrared optics applications and beyond. This article assesses how some of the associated manufacturing and handling challenges of this material can be overcome
