Engineers at the university of Washington have developed a laser-powered RoboFly. RoboFly, which weighs only a little more than a toothpick, is powered by a built-in circuit that converts laser pointer into enough electricity to power its wings. Earlier this year RoboFly flew its first unrestricted flaps, the first flight of the wireless flying robotic…

As we mentioned in the article two years ago, the mature application of laser pointer technology and the rise of intelligent projector will inevitably lead to the explosion of the whole projector industry. Nearly two years of hot projector market also confirmed this to guess really, industrial boom drew the look of a lot of…

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…

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, 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…

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 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…

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…

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…

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…
