That is excellent. Very well done. Regards. Jason

Hello folks. Picture of the internals of a Spectra Physics Hurricane Ti-Sapphire amplifier. As you know, we use high powered green as a pump to achieve IR (how ironic) We recently had our hurricane serviced and recalibrated, so I took the opportunity to grab a photo of the inside of it for...

CrossOut: Imagine ablating a specially prepared surface, of a highly reflective material and imagine You are burning a barcode onto it at the micron level, now imagine you have a read head that is able to read this barcode and understand exactly the position it is in, to within 0.5 microns or...

Aryntha No, the Mai Tai is itself a Ti-sapphire laser pumped by both an IR diode array and a 532 or 527 pump. In the case of our system, its a 532nm, 15W millenia and a Prolite IR array all contained in the same housing. This combination allows us to choose any wavelength between about...

I will see what I can do. We don't have quarters, but I can maybe ablate a penny with a 10 micron line and show you the result at 1000x magnification. Beamshots i cannot really oblige, as we use a wavelength of 800nm which is only visible with an IR viewer (Night vision monocle). I will say...

apologies, I didnt realise the picture files were so big, soz.

Hi Guys. As promised, here are some pics of the laser system that I use at work for ablation. We have 4 of these setups. 3 are the Spitfire pro and the other is an older Hurricane. I will try and explain how it works: The Spitfire Pro is a Ti-Sapphire amplifier/oscillator, that delivers...

Hi guys, Yes, 527 green is very different to 532 green. It is only a 5nm difference but it is very apparant to the eye. It appears much darker, if that makes sense. The human eye is very sensitive around this frequency range and the colour shift is very noticeable. Our evolution uses the...

thank you Arayan and Morgan for the nice welcome. Lasers are my passion and I understand them well, I would be happy to answer any questions about them. Laser safety is also my passion, it has to be. I work with class 4 lasers every day, they are my babys, but they can sting you if you dont...

Hello everyone, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Jason and I work for a company that specialises in Laser ablation in the UK. I have always loved lasers and I am in the fortunate position of working with some of the most cutting edge commercial lasers available. I work with a...
