A high-performance laser should deliver more than high output power. When optimized to your application, a high-performance laser module can ease integration, maximize results and deliver a competitive advantage for your business. This paper will discuss key considerations in ensuring a high-performance laser for your system.
This Whitepaper discusses:
Delivering high power laser modules
Ensuring high stability optical output
Digital control for monitoring performance
Application examples
Nicholas Goffin, research associate at Loughborough University, investigates where energy savings can be made in laser processing
The task of specifying the ideal laser module for your application can seem challenging. This whitepaper details the key considerations in specifying your laser, outlining a 7-element approach to success.

In many of today’s industrial markets there is a continual push for product miniaturization. The M3 family of piezoelectric motion controllers offer unrivalled compactness helping product designers to achieve more compact solutions. Manufactured by New Scale Technologies, the M3 micro-stages and actuators are the smallest and most precise closed-loop positioning solutions available.
