A continuous wave diode laser operating at two microns is ideally suited for use in soft tissue surgery. A 2 µm laser diode bar based on gallium antimonide (GaSb) is ideal for use in soft tissue ...

Efficient 1.5 W CW and 9 mJ quasi-CW TEM00 mode operation of a compact diode-laser-pumped 2.94 µm Er:YAG laser Sheaumann has developed the first commercially available diode-laser-pumped continuously ...

A wide mode-hopping free and narrow linewidth tunable laser diode source with a Littman-Metcalf arrangement based on a diffraction grating is presented. Several experiments are carried out to ...

[Jeshua Lacock] from 3DTOPO owns a large-format CNC (4’x8′, or 1.2×2.4 m), that he strongly feels is lacking laser-cutting capabilities. The frame is there, and a 150 W CO2 laser tube has been sitting ...

In laser hair removal treatments on dark skin, the high concentration of melanin in the skin competes with the melanin in the hair. During standard laser procedures, with wavelengths of 755 nm or 810 ...

Laser cutting and engraving technologies have become essential tools across a wide variety of different industries, from manufacturing, art and small businesses. These technologies use laser beams to ...

Hobbyist-grade laser cutters can be a little restrictive as to the types and thicknesses of materials that they can cut. We’re usually talking about CO 2 and diode-based machines here, and if you want ...

At the turn of this century the worldwide market for diode lasers was valued at $5.7 bn (EURO 6.5 bn). Having dropped to $5 bn in 2001, the market has since crept slowly back up, and is predicted to ...
