Spectra-Physics has introduced Spirit-OPA, an automated optical parametric amplifier (OPA) specifically optimised for use with Spectra-Physics' Spirit high-repetition-rate ultrafast laser
The LDP-QCW 300-12 is a compact and efficient current supply to drive quasi continuous wave laser diodes
Gentec-EO has released a new high power detector that measures up to 2.5kW of average power
Designed with optimal mechanical and optical integrity, Horizon gives full and convenient access to wavelengths between 192-2750nm
APE's Levante Emerald picosecond OPO is now available with sufficiently high signal output power to provide tunable picosecond pulses in the <195-215nm ultraviolet range
Highland Technology has announced the T240 single-channel externally-triggered complementary-output pulse generator for driving electrical/optical modulators
The LDP-QCW 300-12 is PicoLAS' new high-speed driver for qcw-laser diodes. It has a compact design and an output current of up to 300A
The new Vitara-S from Coherent is a hands-free, integrated, ultrafast oscillator primarily designed to seed Titanium:Sapphire (Ti:S) amplifiers
Wavelength Electronics has launched the PLD12500, a 12.5A laser diode driver featuring a smaller package, higher performance and improved heat dissipation
Laser Components is distributing Femto Messetechnik's LCA-B Series, an ultra-low noise and low cost current amplifier, which is ideal for OEM applications

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
