Ultrashort mid-infrared (mid-IR) laser pulses are essential for applications such as molecular spectroscopy, nonlinear ...

A compact fiber-based system has been developed to compress mid-infrared laser pulses to 187 femtoseconds using low input power. By integrating a holmium-doped ZBLAN photonic crystal fiber within a ...

This study addresses the issue of cracking in WC/Ni60 cladded layers with high WC content. The effects of different WC contents on the formation quality, microstructure, and microhardness of WC/Ni15 ...

Abstract: Semiconductor laser diodes (LDs) typically use lattice-matched epitaxial layers as waveguide cladding materials. We describe a new LD architecture in which the upper cladding layer is ...

Innovative solutions in the category include cladding made from upcycled rice hulls and insulation manufactured from 80 percent postconsumer recycled denim. Modern Mill has expanded its Acre siding ...

If you’re looking to add a printer to your home office or business space, odds are you’re considering one of two printer types, a laser versus an inkjet printer. The former, like the affordable ...

NTT Inc. and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) conducted an optical wireless power transmission experiment using a laser beam to wirelessly transmit energy over a distance of one kilometer. By ...

Based on the experimental results, this study demonstrates that increasing the laser scanning speed effectively refines the microstructure of the fabricated samples, resulting in finer needle-like ...

Laser cladding is an advanced surface modification technology that enhances industrial components’ durability, corrosion resistance, and performance. By depositing a layer of high-performance material ...
