A common problem for HeNe laser customers is the issue of polarization switching, which is the sudden change of the polarization of different modes, especially in shorter tubes, which can be particularly detrimental when operating frequency stabilized

Laser diodes must meet two critical requirements to facilitate the lasing process. The first requires that, at a minimum, the laser cavity's gain increases to the point that it reaches unity with the level of losses. This unity state is known as the...

Spectroscopy is a class of analysis methods meant for chemical species identification and concentration measurement, based on emission spectra detection, if irradiated by an adequate light source. Fluorescence-based spectroscopy is one of the...

At RPMC, we are excited to announce the release of our newest white paper titled "Fundamentals of Confocal Raman Microscopy."  While there are many white papers out there which focus heavily on the spectroscopy aspects of this application, we have...

In previous blogs, we've explained the basics of Raman Spectroscopy, various trade-offs that exist when selecting the laser type (Multi-mode vs. Single-mode Lasers for Raman Spectroscopy), and laser wavelength (The Influence of Laser Wavelength on...

Combat zones can be extremely chaotic. With a massive influx of sensory input, implementing clear communication, rugged tools, and reliable instrumentation is key to a successful mission. One of the most challenging tasks in any aerial combat...

The ALCOR laser series from SPARK Lasers just received a nice power boost! This series, offered in a dual 920nm and 1064nm wavelength configuration up to 2W, or a single wavelength configuration with up to 4W at 920nm (highest power 920nm fs laser on...

Shortly after the invention of the first laser, a relevant application enabled by the availability of coherent light, called time-of-flight, emerged. ToF is the precise measurement of the round-trip time of a laser pulse from the source to the target...

Traditional microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas (mostly cells) that are not within the resolution range of the naked eye. Compound microscope designs feature objectives and condensers, but also consists of...

Quantum Light Instruments' (QLI's) main product family is the Quantas Series.  This family of lasers offers compact, air-cooled, high-energy, low rep rate, DPSS lasers at the fundamental wavelengths of 1064 and 1053nm, and the standard harmonics...

In actively Q-switched lasers, the user controls the pulsed laser output, so that no laser pulse emission occurs without providing a proper input signal, aka "the trigger". Due to the trigger signal propagation through the interface electronics, the...
