Check out the great tips to operate Lasers SAFELY! #LaserPhotonics

We are celebrating 35 years of GWU-Lasertechnik! In December 1988 GWU-Lasertechnik was officially registered at our local commercial court. In the last 35 years, we came a long way. From the first hour, our valued partner CASTECH INC was at our side. Together, we started the mission to bringing #nonlinear #optics to the European market. Based on Castech’s excellent products, it was subsequent for GWU-Lasertechnik to build #expertise on the applications of nonlinear #crystals. As the results of intensive and focused #research and #engineering, we released the first commercial #OPO based on #BBO worldwide at Laser Munich exhibition in 1989. From this time on, the GWU product line of #tunable #lasers have steadily developed and improved to meet and define increasing demands and standards. Today, we are providing systems for a wide range of applications in #industry and #scientific research. We are also very proud and grateful for our long-lasting and valued partnerships with strong partners, like Spectra-Physics (Ultrafast products) and LUMIBIRD : the specialist in laser technologies (Nanosecond producst), bringing our devices to the #global market. In the last 35 years, GWU-Lasertechnik also continuously improved and expanded its portfolio. Our philosophy is to cooperate with strong partners and technology leaders to provide state-of -the art components, systems, and solutions. Since almost 20 years, we are partner of HC Photonics Corp., the pioneer of #PPLN technology for quasi-phasematching (#QPM). Nearly at the same time, we started a cooperation with NP Photonics, for their single-mode, ultra-robust, #fiberlasers. Lately we included the #spectrometer products and #spectroscopy solutions from Optosky(Xiamen)Photonics Inc. as well as the tunable filters and White-light sources from Spectrolight Inc. to our product range. Due to #competence and superior #service, GWU-Lasertechnik has established a broad base of satisfied customers in the industry as well as in scientific research facilities worldwide. We thank all our customer for the positive cooperation and the mutual trust. We will to our best to continue working for your contentment in the next 35 years! There were many other things happening and important milestones in the last 35 years bringing us, our partners and customers forward.

We're excited to be present at SPIE Photonics Europe, the event for the photonics and laser communities. Together with #limescluster, we will introduce sustainable laser-based manufacturing to the attendees and other exhibitors. What is #limescluster The cluster of related EU projects working on sustainable laser-based manufacturing established by METAMORPHA Projects in #limescluster: METAMORPHA - single agile USP (ultrashort pulse) laser micromachining platform to replace many conventional manufacturing process chains. BILASURF - solution for surface functionalization, which aims to reduce friction and improve the environmental footprint of industrial parts. InShaPe - metal-based additive manufacturing faster, cheaper and more sustainable. OPeraTIC Project - boosting the use of ultra-short-pulsed lasers in the manufacturing industry. Optimal - different laser lithography technologies, quality monitoring systems, and processes in one platform. 📍SPIE Photonics Europe 📅9 - 11 April ➡️Booth 309 #PULSATE #LimesCluster #PhotonicsEurope #Innovation #photonics #Metamaterials #Networking Photonics21 #photonicseu

✍ Strategy Insights - Digital X-ray imaging industry In 2022, we predicted that the X-ray #detector market would grow from $2,079 million in 2022 to $2,493 million in 2028. Recent news from the industry confirms some key trends that we identified in our latest Digital X-ray Imaging 2022 report. Among these trends, the #industry is embracing IGZO #technology for large format flat panel detectors, offering a promising cost-performance compromise compared to other existing technologies. While historical amorphous #silicon technology boasts affordability, it falls short in terms of performance. 👉 Discover more about the the digital X-ray #imaging industry in this article written by Axel CLOUET from Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group : https://lnkd.in/ePDgNfrj

Per the article, it stated, “Compared to SWIR edge-emitter lasers (EELs), SWIR VCSELs have ~60% lower power consumption, and the price of a VCSEL is generally much lower (>50%) than an EEL.” I would have thought the cost savings for VCSELs should be much better than 2X compared to EEL, given they can be made using wafer-level scale fabrication and testing. Am I missing something here?
