𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐘𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 By Dr. Vsevolod Mazo, CEO, Frankfurt Laser Company 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, choices in laser colors were limited. My strategic use of contacts in Russia, just after the secrecy around laser research was lifted, brought the first commercial green diode-pumped solid-state frequency-doubled lasers to market. These lasers represented a breakthrough in portable, high-powered, energy-efficient color laser technology, a significant departure from the bulky, power-intensive options available previously. 𝐈𝐧 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟑, at Laser World of Photonics Munich, I promoted laser parts from the Soviet Union, securing key contacts, notably with Laser 2000. Shortly thereafter, we introduced the world's first green diode-pumped solid-state frequency-doubled lasers. This initiated the era of solid-state color lasers, contrasting sharply with the low-power output of previous color lasers and the red-only Helium-Neon lasers. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬 was primarily driven by scientific curiosity and a desire to utilize existing red laser technologies in new applications. This led to the cylindrical redesign of these lasers to suit OEM requirements. Laser 2000 was quick to include these innovative green lasers in their lineup, marking the commercial rise of Frankfurt Laser Company. 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟎 initially marketed these green lasers in Germany and then the U.S., particularly in the gaming industry, replacing red lasers in laser tag guns due to the superior visibility of green light. This visibility advantage also proved beneficial in medical, submarine, and various industrial applications, further establishing green lasers in the market. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, green lasers are widely used in medical procedures, laser holography, cinema displays, and automotive lighting, thanks to their efficiency, longevity, and visibility. Frankfurt Laser Company continues to lead in the green laser market, offering a wide array of products and applications.

When setting up a machine vision application, a few lab tips can make all the difference in getting the results you need. - Always test lighting in multiple directions and adjust the working distance - even small changes can reveal critical details or mask defects. - Equip your lab with blocks to easily set different light distances. - Use a clear plastic sheet for backlight applications to simulate real-world conditions. - Bogen arms are invaluable for holding lights steady, freeing up your hands for capturing images and making notes. - Tools like a level, angle finder, and ruler ensure you can document your setup accurately, making it easier to replicate successful configurations. Consistency in your lab setup leads to more reliable and repeatable outcomes. #machinevision #ledlighting #automation

See Uni-EM in action at hermite.dp.tech! In the process of obtaining protein high-order structures through Cryo-EM, researchers need to invest a significant amount of time, effort, and computational power on building and interpreting the structural models, in order to obtain 3D structural models that match the density map precisely. Uni-EM is a fast, accurate, and automated tool, designed to help structural biologists accelerate building the 3D molecular structure models during the single-particle Cryo-EM structural analysis process. #AI4Sci #CADD

ARK - Advances in Robot Kinematics is a boutique robotics international series of symposia. The first symposium was organized by J. Lenarčič in Ljubljana in 1988. #ARK was one of the first world conferences that was specialized in its specific topic. Before ARK, the contributions of robotic kinematics were scattered across different conferences and in different sections. ARK united the research community under one roof, creating a community of kinematicians. This marked the beginning of a period of close cooperation and exchange. The proceedings of ARKs are published in the form of edited books, which have been published by Springer (initially Kluwer) from the very beginning. Many original scientific achievements in the field of robot kinematics were published at ARKs. Some experts have stated that ARK is the primary source of the latest results in the field of robotic kinematics. Since 1992, ARK has been organized under patronage of IFToMM, while maintaining its inherent independence. 📇 June 30 - July 4 📌Cankarjev dom 🔗ark2024.org #ARK2024 #IFToMM #meetings #MeetingsProfs #pco #SloveniaMeetings #CankarjevDom

Nano Dimension is excited to host 2nd Annual AME User Forum, focusing on the application and utilization of 3D technology for Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME). The event will take place on November 15th at the renowned Northeastern University in Boston. Join experts for a day of innovation, networking, and cutting-edge tech. Art Wall, Director of Engineering and Fab Operations, NextFlex will be speaking on "NextFlex and the Additive Hybrid Electronics Ecosystem" Additive technology is changing our world. Simple 3D printed structures have evolved to become critical components in the manufacture of devices that we could not have imagined just a few years ago. Now comes the emergence, implementation, and the continued evolution of additive hybrid electronics. There are so many exciting examples of materials, tools, processes, and systems that are now emerging in the ecosystem indicating that this new technology cannot be ignored. More importantly, it is being adopted into manufacturing today. In this discussion, we will introduce how NextFlex convenes this community to push the maturity, expand the supply chain, and secure the human capital necessary for manufacturing success. Finally, future developments of systems and applications will be presented as part of an overall electronics national strategy.

Photek’s HRPCS 5 photon counting camera was used in a study conducted in collaboration between the Umeå Plant Science Centre in Sweden and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Germany. The study focused on the circadian rhythms of Norway spruce (Picea abies), a dominant species in boreal forests. By analyzing delayed fluorescence (DF) in bud samples, researchers gained critical insights into how these trees synchronize growth and respond to environmental cues like light and temperature during key developmental stages, such as bud burst. The HRPCS 5 camera and software provided precise measurements of fluorescence rhythms, enabling researchers to uncover new perspectives on how circadian systems function in gymnosperms. We’re proud to see our technology contribute to innovative plant science that deepens our understanding of forest ecosystems and their adaptation to changing environments. 🌳 📷 Learn more about the HRPCS 5: https://lnkd.in/dVwKBKEg 📃 Read the full publication here: https://lnkd.in/gzB36GCi
