Andreas Stingl, CEO of Austrian company Femtolasers, talks to Nadya Anscombe about the market for femtosecond lasers and their wide variety of applications. How mature is the market for ...

When researchers at the Galatea laboratory in Switzerland set out to create a femtosecond laser in glass they weren’t certain it was going to work. To be precise, their goal was to create a ...

High intensity femtosecond laser pulses have been driving electrons to very high energies reaching million and billion electron volts over length scales that are 100–1,000 times shorter than ...

The cost of femtosecond laser oscillators has not been the only factor hindering the industrialization of 2PP; for example, another issue is the slow speed and small volume of fabrication. To ...

These results are published in the journal . Femtosecond pulse lasers allow for the creation of a strong, localized ...

The researchers claim to have achieved an interconnection width of 80 μm, which until now was only possible with femtosecond pulse lasers. “Femtosecond pulse lasers' elevated expense and ...

Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery devices are expected to be released during 2011. The first generations are expected to be 'cataract only' devices, and it is possible that future ...

Certain steps of traditional cataract surgery performed by phacoemulsification may soon be performed with increasing frequency by the femtosecond laser. Since the introduction of the femtosecond ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, researchers from Beihang University, the Institute of Physics (Chinese ...

A prime example of this is the company's groundbreaking work in ophthalmology, where in 2007, Amplitude pioneered the integration of ultrafast femtosecond lasers into laser eye surgery systems. This ...

It mandates the ability to endure 100 pulses from pulsed lasers or continuous beams for a minimum of 10 seconds, without ...
