Product Information

Although this original meaning denotes an principle of operation (exploiting stimulated emission from excited atoms or ions), the term is now mostly used for devices generating light based on the laser principle. More specifically, one usually means laser oscillators, but sometimes also includes devices with laser amplifiers, called master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). An even wider interpretation includes nonlinear devices like optical parametric oscillators and Raman lasers, which also produce laser-like light beams and are usually pumped with a laser, but are strictly speaking not lasers themselves. At a conference in 1959, Gordon Gould first published the acronym "LASER" in the paper The LASER, Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. [31] [8] Gould's intention was that different "-ASER" acronyms should be used for different parts of the spectrum: "XASER" for x-rays, "UVASER" for ultraviolet, etc. "LASER" ended up becoming the generic term for non-microwave devices, although "RASER" was briefly popular for denoting radio-frequency-emitting devices. Class 4 laser products have an output power greater than 500 mW (half a watt). There is no upper restriction on output power. Class 4 laser products are capable of causing injury to both the eye and skin from direct exposure and reflections also may be hazardous. Class 4 laser beams also present a fire hazard. Lasers used for many laser displays, laser surgery and cutting metals may be Class 4 products. and various others. We specialize in designing and manufacturing custom-made and OEM lasers to suit our clients' particular needs. In fact, 75% of the lasers manufactured involve some type of custom work. Alpes Lasers

Lasers are now widely used during the course of our daily lives. They can be found at home, in the workplace and they are used for many different applications. Lasers are a valuable scientific tool in material, pharmaceutical and forensic research.They play an important role in the areas of medicine and industry, as well being used for entertainment purposes since the mid-1960s. Narrow-linewidth lasers are optimized for a narrow emission bandwidth. Usually, they are single-frequency lasers.In 1951, Joseph Weber submitted a paper on using stimulated emissions to make a microwave amplifier to the June 1952 Institute of Radio Engineers Vacuum Tube Research Conference at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. [25] After this presentation, RCA asked Weber to give a seminar on this idea, and CharlesH. Townes asked him for a copy of the paper. [26] Charles H. Townes In some cases, the term is used for amplifying devices emitting light without an input (excluding seeded amplifiers). An example are X-ray lasers, which are usually superluminescent sources, based on spontaneous emission followed by single-pass amplification. There is then no laser resonator. A high degree of spatial coherence of the laser radiation can be achieved, essentially because the light emission is triggered (stimulated) by the intracavity radiation (i.e., the light circulating in the laser resonator) itself, rather than occurring spontaneously in an uncoordinated fashion. In the stimulated emission process, the laser-active ions are made to emit light in the direction of already existing light, and also with the same optical phase. In effect, the circulating laser light serves to strongly coordinate the emission of many atoms or ions. The resulting amplitude and phase profile of the laser beam is largely determined by the properties of the laser resonator, not usually by the laser gain medium. A. L. Schawlow and C. H. Townes, “Infrared and optical masers”, Phys. Rev. 112 (6), 1940 (1958); https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.112.1940 (ground-breaking work; also contains the famous Schawlow–Townes equation)

Class 2 lasers are limited to a maximum output power of 1 milliwatt or one-thousandth of a watt (abbreviated to mW) and the beam must have a wavelength between 400 and 700 nm. A person receiving an eye exposure from a Class 2 laser beam, either accidentally or as a result of someone else’s deliberate action (misuse) will be protected from injury by their own natural aversion response. This is a natural involuntary response which causes the individual to blink and avert their head thereby terminating the eye exposure. Repeated, deliberate exposure to the laser beam may not be safe. Some laser pointers and barcode scanners are Class 2 laser products. 5.5 Class 2M

A laser is a device that emits light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The word laser is an anacronym that originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. [1] The first laser was built in 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories, based on theoretical work by CharlesH. Townes and Arthur Leonard Schawlow. [2] A laser beam profiler is used to measure the intensity profile, width, and divergence of laser beams. Due to various influences, the output of lasers always contains some noise in properties such as the output power or phase. For pulsed lasers, additional quantities can come into play, for example the timing jitter. For more details, see the article on laser noise. Types of Lasers The advice from PHE takes account of the current British Standard for laser safety, and the technically equivalent European and International Standards.

When considering the safety implications of the laser beam an important parameter is the power (in Watts) or energy (in Joules) in the beam divided by the cross-sectional area (in m 2) of the beam. This is called the irradiance and is usually quoted in watts per square metre or W m -2 or radiant exposure usually quoted in J m -2. 3. Laser pointers or laser pens When the radiation emitted by a source can be detected by the eye and produces a sensation of vision, it is referred to as light. Lighting devices such as the compact fluorescent, LED or incandescent electric light bulbs produce optical radiation comprising of many different wavelengths. Their light is perceived as white light, and the bulb emits fairly equally in all directions. In 1963, Roy J. Glauber showed that coherent states are formed from combinations of photon number states, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. [19] A coherent beam of light is formed by single-frequency quantum photon states distributed according to a Poisson distribution. As a result, the arrival rate of photons in a laser beam is described by Poisson statistics.

Our robust optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers (OPCPA) provide high-power, tunable femtosecond pulses and user-friendly operation. ThorlabsLaser hair removal damages the follicles of the targeted hairs. The body reacts to this, and many people experience redness and irritation in the affected areas. The skin may tingle or feel tender, and may even appear to swell slightly. The lasers used in laser hair removal do produce a small amount of radiation. However, this radiation is not thought to be harmful, and there is no evidence that laser hair removal therapy causes skin cancer. Laser hair removal causes infertility
