Power Partners has introduced the PPR250 Series of power supplies, which deliver 250W of power, with 600W of peak power, in a compact 5" x 3.2" x 1.5" package.
Pro-Lite Technology has released the LabMax from Coherent’s LMC division, a high-performance laser power and energy meter compatible with all Coherent thermal, photodiode and pyroelectric sensor heads.
Gooch & Housego has released an ultra small, compact, Q switch driver capable of delivering up to 24 watts at 24, 27.12, or 40.68 mhz for use with its small conductively cooled Q switches.
Opto Diode has released a photodiode preamplifier combination device that features higher gain in lower light environments, called the NIR/Red Enhanced 6mm² ODA-6W-500M Photodetector-Preamplifier.
Opto Diode has released the NIR/Red Enhanced ODA-6W-100M Photodetector-Preamplifier. The device features lower noise than discrete detector preamp circuits due to Opto Diode’s shielded amplifier electronics
The Thor Series is the newest addition to Quantronix's ultra-fast amplifier family and provides a low repetition rate, high energy solution for customers who want a compact amplifier system to achieve up to a terawatt level of peak power.
High Q Laser has launched the ultra compact Femtoregen UC – an all-in-one femtosecond regenerative amplifier - delivering 2W power at 200kHz repetition rate with 350fs pulse duration on a footprint of 34 x 78cm.
Femto Messtechnik has developed a variable gain transimpedance amplifier DHPCA-100 for amplifying the photo current of fast photodiodes. It offers a maximum bandwidth of 200MHz equivalent to a signal rise time of 1.8ns.
Intense has launched the Power Pack 630 high power, fibre-coupled laser modules.
Gooch & Housego has launched two RF drivers to complement its range of acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs).

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.)
