The 4D Showcase: This week, we are kicking off our ongoing product showcase with the NanoCam™ HD. This is a dynamic profiler that measures surface roughness on small to meter-scale coated and uncoated optics, as well as precision metals, plastics, and other polished specular surfaces. How can it work for you? This measures supersmooth surfaces with sub Angstrom resolution, including major applications like x-ray and deep EUV mirrors, synchrotron optics, lenses for semiconductor equipment, laser gyro mirrors, and laser resonators. Check it out in-person next month at our SPIE Photonics West Booth #1849 in San Francisco or learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dKm9VjKF

We enhance laser processes and optical systems This is PowerPhotonic's core business - Our high quality, freeform optics offer the potential for significant performance gains in laser applications and optical systems: be those efficiency, precision or consistency.  We produce some of the smoothest, lowest scatter truly freeform optical surfaces in the world. There is still time to watch Dr Stephen Kidd's webinar on https://lnkd.in/eH2DNGxn with Photonics Media The webinar "How to Improve Laser Applications Using Freeform Optics" outlines the significant differences PowerPhotonic optics can make to your laser system and their ease of integration. #cbc #beamshaper #laserperformance #beamshaping #20thbirthday

Is it 532nm lightsaber or 785nm lightsaber more powerful?

✨ Light Up the World! ✨ May 16th marks the International Day of Light, a day we celebrate the first demonstration of the laser and recognize the impact that optics and photonics have on our world! 💡 Wishing you an inspiring day filled with light! 💡 #InternationalDayOfLight #LightDay2024 #FutureOfPhotonics

Reach out to me for the full resolution poster on #diffraction #gratings for #euv #lithography! How can blazed diffraction gratings improve EUV systems? Blazed reflection gratings are high-throughput spectral filters at EUV wavelengths. Inprentus #blazed gratings with their serial write process can combine dispersion and imaging into a single optic giving EUV equipment a much needed boost in efficiency, resolution and compactness.

Last week, we introduced our PhaseCam dynamic interferometer that will be featured at next week’s SPIE Photonics West. This system is categorized as a Twyman-Green interferometer. But what does that mean? This type of laser interferometer configuration is used for measuring the surface shape and transmitted wavefront quality of optical components, assemblies, systems, and optical-grade mechanical surfaces. It is a variant of the Michelson interferometer introduced in the early 20th century. What are the advantages of 4D’s PhaseCam? These interferometers can measure in difficult locations, can measure despite vibration and without isolation, the expensive reference transmission optics are not required, and they produce high resolution images.

New article from the N2GO group published in Journal of Lightwave Technology. "Simple Method for the Real-time Estimation of Timing Jitter in Ultrashort Pulses from Mode-locked Ultralong Ring Fiber Lasers", Journal of Lightwave Technology 2024 In this work, a simple method for the estimation of timing jitter and phase noise in ultrafast lasers is presented and applied for the first time to the characterization of ultralong passively mode-locked femtosecond fiber oscillators with ultra-low repetition rates in the range of kHz. https://lnkd.in/dAntS_8j Thanks to Alejandro Rosado Pérez, Inés Cáceres Pablo and Juan Diego Ania-Castañón
