In 3D printing, residual stress can build up in parts during the printing process due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material, generating forces that can distort the part ...

One problem with 3D-printed metal parts is that stresses due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material can build up in parts while they are being printed, generating forces ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

In Case Study: Medical Laser System; Part 1: Stabilizing a Laser Feedback Control Loop, the nonlinear flashlamp in the laser control loop had a parabolic transfer function which was gain-compensated ...

Modern electronics have been reaping the benefits of cheap, compact semiconductor lasers for years now. From the revolutions in CD and DVD optical data storage, through seemingly simple devices like ...

Laser diodes, the devices that illuminate telecom fiber-optic cables, require light-current-voltage (L-I-V) measurements during production. These measurements let you characterize a laser diode's ...

Laser cutting and engraving technologies have become essential tools across a wide variety of different industries, from manufacturing, art and small businesses. These technologies use laser beams to ...
