Anamorphic beam shaping optics are used to transform elliptical laser beams to a round shape - for example before coupling them to single mode optical fibers. Conversely, there are cases where ...

Lens array beam shaping is extending the scope of the laser materials processing market. Vitalij Lissotschenko and Paul Harten of LIMO explain why direct diode applications such as welding and cutting ...

Until recently, laser-diode arrays (LDAs) have been limited in power output and brightness because of optical design and focusing issues. But Apollo Instruments Inc., Irvine, Calif. — with the help of ...

(Nanowerk News) A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron ...

This review examines the role of twisted light in chiral systems, highlighting its applications in spectroscopy and materials ...

NTT Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) conducted an optical wireless power transmission experiment using a laser beam to wirelessly transmit energy over a distance of one kilometer. By ...
