Demand for products made from ultra-high strength steels is increasing. While traditional ‘cold’ sheet metal forming techniques, such as roll forming and stamping, are ideally suited to mild steels, using them for ultra-high strength steels often results in cracking, spring-back or distortion.1 These problems can be...
Nowadays, many of our achievements are based on laser technology and it forming our life without peeing present in public. Thanks to this universal tool as well as the countless, enthusiastic and talented scientist and engineers, young and old, many new applications will emerge....

Laser lithotripsy, predominantly via advanced ureteroscopy, has become a major technique for the minimally invasive surgical ablation of ureteral and kidney stones. The...
The automotive, chemical as well as pharmaceutical industry and not to neglect the medical institutions are demanding compact, easy to use and hermetically sealed plastic parts in high volumes. Due to the availability of high-power diode-based fiber coupled laser sources plastic welding is rapidly...
1 The Laser system In Monocrom we have tackled the challenges of generating high power ultra-short laser pulses by building a CPA laser system that is pumped by several MOPA systems. We used titanium doped sapphire (Ti:Sa) as the active material for both the oscillation and amplification stages. Based on the...
The use of real macro water channels allows to maintain a high optical efficiency when talking about actively cooled Diode Laser Stacks making them cost-efficient in terms of performance and maintenance. Our ENCAST Series consists of laser diodes mounted with our exclusive ClampingTM technology. The solder-free clamping of...
A brief introduction into Raman spectroscopy and related applications. An overview over the physics, the requirements on the laser source and the detector properties necessary to detect a proper spectrum. ...
Lasers are the ultimate surgery tool in ophthalmology and retinal laser photocoagulation is the gold standard for the treatment of common eye deseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. ...
Packaging diode laser arrays. Why and how? Edge-emitting semiconductor laser arrays (or laser bars) are surely the best-known and still the most widespread architecture of high power diode lasers (HPDLs). Under an electron-pumping scheme, these structures are nowadays capable of generating up to 500 W of...
Abstract This article proposes a modelling method of laser diodes optical output power, especially for mid-high power diodes working in continuous wave (CW) or quasi continuous wave (QCW) modes, and focusing in the optical output power dependency on temperature and its model implementation in Pspice, targeting...
