The Lasers & Photonics Marketplace Seminar provides comprehensive market perspective with data segmented by application and laser technology from three photonics industry leaders: Laser Focus World; Industrial Laser Solutions; and Strategies Unlimited.

Inadequate pulsewidth has long been perceived as a barrier for high-power femtosecond fiber lasers to compete with solid-state lasers; fortunately, pulse and spectral shaping techniques are tearing that barrier down.

Researchers from UWM and the US Naval Research Laboratory are using deep-energy quantum wells and tall barriers to suppress carrier leakage.

Early laser users had few wavelength options. Now with new laser emission lines, harmonic generation, tunable lasers, and nonlinear wavelength conversion, users can get (almost) anything they want.

Advanced ultrafast amplifiers combine high power, excellent beam quality, and high repetition rates in a turnkey system without cryogenic cooling.
