M squared lasers

Merry Christmas to all our friends, customers, suppliers, collaborators and partners. 2011 has been a fantastic year of growth and success for us and we hope it has also been good for you. Roll on 2012!

We hope to see some of you at Photonics West in January, but in the meantime we wish you all a happy holiday.

We're sending a big team to PW this year. If you're there, pop by and see the state-of-the-art in alignment free, low/no noise, cw Ti:S lasers. Our CEO, Dr. Graeme Malcolm will be there, along with Dr. John Nicholls (Applications), Dr. David Armstrong (Sales & Marketing, Europe), Dr. Leigh Bromley (Sales & Marketing, USA), Dr. Nils Hempler (Laser Engineer) as well as our East Coast USA representative, Dr. David Kemp, and Yvette Cooney (Events).

We are on Booth 2622.

As well as our Ti:S technology, we will also be showcasing our groundbreaking terahertz, infrared and ultrafast sources. And we will be giving away jelly beans. What's not to like? See you there.

We are delighted that our colleague, Nils Hempler, has been invited by SPIE to present a paper at PW on advances in narrow-linewidth continuous wave semiconductor disk laser pumped optical parametric oscillators.

The paper presents advances in the field of mid infrared lasers suitable for spectroscopy applications. Crucially, the continuous wave operation of the optical parametric oscillator presented here, allows the development of narrower linewidth radiation compared to their pulsed counter parts. Spectroscopic applications can benefit from this as the narrow linewidth enables complex spectral features to be differentiated. Key element to this development  is the optically pumped  semiconductor disk laser, a laser format that combines the device engineerability associated with semiconductor structures with the flexibility and powerscalability of external resonators, typically only associated with solid-state lasers.
