Toptica has released a new class of multi-Watt laser sources for use in the laboratory but also opening up opportunities for future OEM integration
Available from Toptica, the FemtoFiber ultra NIR is a turnkey laser system that provides femtosecond laser pulses of more than 500mW average power
The new multi-laser engine iChrome SLE from Toptica supports multi-colour applications that require separate microscope input ports
Toptica expands their portfolio of ultrafast fiber-based laser systems
TOPTICA's difference frequency comb DFC operates with CERO technology ('zero-vCEO') which obtains a phase-stable laser output with an inherently vanishing frequency offset
TOPTICA's latest DLC SHG pro systems offer the lowest noise levels, narrowest linewidths and a simpler way to manage laser operation
Toptica has introduced a new family of diode lasers: the Continuously Tunable Lasers (CTL). The first two versions of the CTL are available at 950nm and 1,570nm, with continuous tuning from 915-985nm and 1,530-1,620nm, respectively
Toptica has released the DLC Pro, a high-end laser controller for the company's tunable diode laser DL Pro
The iBeam smart WS, a compact OEM diode laser, features reliable wavelength stabilised laser diodes integrated into Toptica's successful iBeam smart platform
Toptica's FemtoFErb 780 laser system delivers 50mW average power at 780nm centre wavelength, with a pulse duration of less than 100fs at a repetition rate of 100MHz
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
