The Model 2520 Pulsed Laser Diode Test System performs electrical characterization of laser diodes in either the chip/bar state or in finished products. According to its manufacturer, the 2520 is the ...

If you’ve played around with laser diodes that you’ve scavenged from old equipment, you know that it can be a hit-or-miss proposition. (And if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?) Besides the real ...

The fruit of a collaboration with Labsphere, the 2500INT is a custom-designed integrating sphere optical head that facilitates direct optical measurement of laser diode output power when used with ...

ILX Lightwave, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces the LRS-9580 Calibration System. The new system is a complete, self-contained transportable unit capable of calibrating fixtures, shelves, and ...

[Les] from [Les’ Lab] has designed a driver for laser diodes up to 10 watts, and decided to show us how it operates, tells us what we should keep in mind when designing such a driver, and talks about ...

A team of laser scientists in Germany say that their optical frequency reference setup has successfully completed a test run on a sounding rocket. Potentially, the achievement paves the way to a ...
