Fiber-optic waveguide modulators used in communications networks. The modulators, which often require special connectors, work in conjunction with polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers, mostly Panda ...

The new LC series Fiber-Optic Laser Coupler is a convenient way to launch a free-space laser beam into an optical fiber. VICTOR, NEW YORK February 22, 2006 Bristol Instruments, Inc., a company founded ...

This video shows how PI hexapods align fibers with submicrometer accuracy to reach the so-called “first light”. PI provides a variety of innovative fiber alignment systems. Fiber alignment is an ...

Using Aerotech's A3200 controller, users are able to automatically align multichannel optical devices for assembly. Using the built-in automated alignment algorithms, the controller aligns the first ...

Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

The series SK010PA polarization analyzer is a comprehensive universal measurement and test system for free beam applications and fiber-coupled laser radiation. It is a plug&play device and connects to ...

It’s a rare person who can pick up a cheap laser pointer and not wield it like a lightsaber or a phaser, complete with sound effects. There’s just something about the “pew-pew” factor that makes ...

A large group of fiber optic lasers are powered by DC current. Laser drive is supplied by a current source with modulation added further along the signal path. The current source, although ...

Scientists have created a laser capable of generating ultrashort pulses of light even under extremely difficult external conditions. This unique combination of precision and resilience is due to the ...
