Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Introducing the Longer Ray5 20w laser engraver - the perfect addition to any maker's toolkit. With its powerful 20-watt laser ...

Northrop Grumman strings together seven laser systems to get a single beam at 105.5 kilowatts, and thus enters into weapons-grade territory. Jon Skillings is an editorial director at CNET, where he's ...

Coherent laser ranging systems confront a fundamental trade-off: higher resolution typically comes with increased system complexity and cost. Researchers from Tsinghua University have demonstrated a ...

The unique characteristics of lasers, such as their focusability and ability to work on a variety of materials, make them well suited for precision manufacturing. And they can be used with a wide ...

In the 1950s, when physicists were racing to invent the first laser, they found that the rules of quantum mechanics restricted how pure the color of their light could be. Since then, physicists and ...

Calculating laser power density What is a LiDAR point cloud? Wide array of applications for lasers. LiDAR (light detection and ranging) can measure the distance of an object (measuring the time for ...

The laser is based on a phenomenon discovered during the past century, and laser technology became real and concrete at the beginning of the 1960s. In less than 50 years, it has become the basis for ...

Besides attending an electronic dance music (EDM) show, most people have probably never seen a full laser show. They’re sometimes used as backup for concerts but rarely are ever the main attraction.
