A high-power ytterbium thin-disk laser drives an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) to generate high-power, stable pulses in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral range. This allows researchers ...

Two separate research groups have unveiled thin-disk lasers that push the performance boundaries of both pulsed and continuous-wave laser sources. Optics.org finds out more. Multiwatt disk lasers are ...

A high-power ytterbium thin-disk laser drives an optical parametric oscillator to generate high-power, stable pulses in the short-wave infrared spectral range. This allows researchers to detect and ...

Optical disks and magnetic tapes are suitable media for the long-term storage of large amounts of data. We are developing thin optical disks using paper-thin 0.1-mm-thick substrate as a means of ...

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a mysterious thin disk of material furiously whirling around a supermassive black hole at the heart of a magnificent spiral galaxy located ...

They formed the Milky Way's thin disk less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang, several billion years earlier than previously believed. The Milky Way galaxy has a large halo, a central bulge ...

An experimental solid-state laser successfully passed a series of repeated test firings. Developed by the Boeing Company, the thin-disk laser is part of the company's effort to develop a ...
