A team of researchers from tampere polytechnic university in Finland, the university of Southampton in the UK and case western reserve university in the us have demonstrated a new random laser pointer design, which improves the laser properties and directs the laser output in the specified direction by light-induced soliton waveguides, foreign media reported. The…

IPG introduces a new generation of high power laser
In November 2018, IPG announced the launch of a new generation of high-power laser pointer. This new product not only has the smallest weight and size in the industry and the highest electro-optical conversion efficiency in the industry, but also integrates three innovations, namely quasi-continuous (QCW) mode, adjustable mode beam (AMB) mode and high-power scanning…
TRUMPF launched its green laser technology to support 3D printing of precious metals such as copper and gold
TRUMPF, a German machine-tool maker, announced at Formnext last week that its TruPrint 5000 could print high-carbon steel or titanium alloys, while its new green laser pointer pulse products could print pure copper and other precious metals. TRUMPF unveiled its new pulsed green laser in Frankfurt last week, demonstrating its ability to 3D print pure…
Germany has developed a new laser anti-fouling technology for aircraft surfaces
Based on the lotus leaf effect, the fraunhofer institute for materials and beam technology (IWS) has developed a laser material processing method known as direct laser interferometry (DLIP). The technique USES special optical devices to split a single laser pointer beam into several splitter beams that are reassembled on the surface of the metal to…
The Russian national guard will be equipped with laser vehicles that can temporarily blind people
The Russian national guard has purchased a number of vehicles equipped with lasers and noise equipment for counter-terrorism operations, spokesman valery gribakin said, foreign media reported. The vehicles are designed to make noise and other disturbances while performing anti-aircraft tasks. Noise equipment can produce up to 135 decibels of noise within 10 meters, while the…
Laser technology enables commercial new light source projectors to change the future
In the era of traditional light source projector, product homogeneity is serious, especially the domestic projector only in the price competition. Since the application of new light source technology in the projector market, projector products have begun a new round of technical competition. And the new light source technology is also known as the subversion…
Us army develops ultrashort pulse laser weapon
According to foreign media reports, after 25 years of research and making ineffective “exotic weapons” enough to fill a museum, the pentagon developed the “scalable compact ultra-short pulse laser system” (SCUPLS). The defense department’s non-lethal joint weapons agency (JNLWD) began a three-year project in September 2018 to eventually produce a viable non-lethal laser pointer plasma…
Us scientists have developed the first solid-state, mid-infrared laser beam steering control device
There is no doubt that mechanical devices, such as mechanical laser beam steering systems and household cars, are always more vulnerable to damage over time. Especially for chemical sensing and LiDAR applications, mid-infrared beam scanning requires speed and reliability, while beam control mechanisms such as mechanical motion mirror and rotating prism often have slow speed…
Russia’s new laser weapons have been deployed to combat duty
According to foreign media reports, on December 1, the laser pointer weapon “peresweet” developed by Russia based on the new physics principle has been on trial combat duty in the Russian army. Within the framework of Russia’s national weapons program, the Russian armed forces began to equip the system in 2017. As laser weapons and…
Japan’s defense outline is to be written into the development of laser air defense system
According to foreign media reports, the Japanese government plans to write in the outline of the defense plan, a new guideline for the construction of defense capability by the end of this year, that the air defense system will be developed using large output laser pointer that can destroy the target at a moment with…
