Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

Knowledge of a laser beam's shape and output-power distribution is critical for optimizing laser performance. Neil Savage summarizes the latest beam-profiling products on the market. People using ...

Of these processes cutting demands the most power – usually a beam of more than 1 kW. “Laser diodes, and solid, or fibre, lasers are the main technologies used in manufacturing today ...

Laser welding is a high-speed, non-contact process that uses the energy of a laser beam to create welds between surfaces. It can be used to optimize how solar cells, tabs, and busbars are ...

However, some 3D computer models of laser systems depict the laser beam as a cylinder. Those models give the simulated laser beam its own shadow because they treat it as a solid object instead of ...

Israel’s experimental air-defense system known as the Iron Beam uses laser technology to strike down drones and rockets, but military analysts say the device needs U.S. support to improve its ...
