For centuries, people have known that light exhibits wave like behavior in certain situations. When light passes through certain materials, they can change the polarization of light waves (i.e. the direction of oscillation). The core components of optical communication networks, such as optical isolators or photodiodes, utilize this characteristic. This type of component allows light to propagate ...
On January 13, 2025, Thorlabs announced the acquisition of long-term partner Praevium Research, a developer of high-speed tunable VCSEL. In the future, Praevium will continue to operate as a department of Thorlabs under the name Praevium Research at its existing locations in California, while retaining its current leadership.It is understood that Christopher Burgner will serve as the general man...
Sivers Photonics, a leading UK-based supplier of optical fiber communications and III-V semiconductor Photonics devices, has announced that it has received an initial order from UK-based laser developer Vector Photonics to evaluate epitaxial materials for a new next-generation surface-coupled laser project.The order, which includes laser manufacturing and life testing, will be the first time the t...
The latest expansion of the European Space Agency's laboratory is essentially portable: this European Space Agency's mobile optical ground station is housed in a standard container and can be transported throughout Europe as needed for laser based optical communication with satellites - including NASA's Psyche mission, in space millions of kilometers away.The station has officially become a part o...
Alpes Laser was founded in 1998 in Nazhatel, Switzerland and was the first company to bring quantum cascade lasers to the market. It released its first continuous laser in 2001 and its first high gain laser in 2009, thus maintaining this priority position.In 2004, the first commercial laser was introduced.Principle: In a single mode laser, the grating is etched into the active region to force the ...
