Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

The demand for photonics technology continues to grow with popular laser applications including semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), Fabry-Perot (FP) devices and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers.

Byron Bemis, senior research associate at Owens Corning, and his team were asked to design a new generation of components that could be made through laser welding. In fact, with this particular R&D ...

ForgeFX Simulations and Somero Enterprises announced the completion of the S-22EZ Advanced Laser Screed Virtual Training Simulator. Designed to transform how operators learn and master the art of ...

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has awarded a 10-year, $80 million contract to BlueHalo to build a system that models and simulates the use of directed-energy weapons in wargames. The contract ...
