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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

High harmonics: a NIR pulse (red) is focussed, and high harmonics are generated in a gas jet that is placed before or behind the NIR focus. The generated XUV light (violet) has a size and divergence ...

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 ...

Lasers aren’t just for Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. They long ago stopped being just a prop in science fiction movies, although many people may not realize how widespread their use is today. The ...
