Lasermet and NPL (the National Physical Laboratory) have produced this joint venture product, Optoblok, the latest safety equipment for use in optical laboratories. Optoblok, the Optical Table Laser ...

A laser pulse through a capillary filled with hydrogen plasma creates a wake that can accelerate an electron beam to a billion electron volts in just 3.3 centimeters. The same LOASIS accelerating ...

Laser cutters and 3D printers are game-changing tools to have in the workshop. They make rapid prototyping or repairs to existing projects a breeze as they can churn out new parts with high precision ...

The set-up developed by TIFRH researchers uses a millijoule class laser, firing at a rate of 1,000 pulses a second with ultrashort 25 fs pulses, and is used to dynamically chisel micro-droplets of 15 ...

Building a laser shield on or around an optical table is easy with a variety of flexible options from the Kentek Table-Guard™ and Bench -Guard™ systems. A modular and highly flexible approach to ...

Carbon and oxygen have a high absorption contrast. This is used to study biological and mineral samples via the “water window“, which has a spectral range between λ = 2.3 – 4.4 nm. Transmission X-ray ...

When you’re talking about optics, things are often happening on a nanometer scale. This means that even the slightest amount of vibration can spoil delicate work. [The Thought Emporium] is working on ...

Laser ion acceleration uses intense laser flashes to heat electrons of a solid to enormous temperatures and propel these charged particles to extreme speeds. These have recently gained traction for ...
