Scientists have developed a new directional random laser

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…

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…

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…
