Picosecond Pulsed Diode Lasers from PicoQuant

PicoQuant has introduced two picosecond pulsed diode lasers at 510 nm and 596 nm.
Green diode laser head with 510 nm
For the first time green laser light is not based on frequency conversion but directly emitted by the laser diode. The laser can work at any repetition rate up to 40 MHz and generate pulses as short as 130 ps (FWHM). moreApr. 01, 2011

NanoSight: NS200 Nanoparticle Characterization System Will be Launched at Pittcon

NanoSight will introduce NS200 nanoparticle characterization system at Pittcon 2011:
N200 is easy to use, has an optional blue laser to improve imaging capability, and fluorescence filters can be added when working with suitably labeled particles. Furthermore, the laser is triggered to reduce thermal issues with respect to the sample, restricting photobleaching during fluorescence imaging.   moreFeb. 22, 2011

Anti-laser Build by Yale Scientists

Scientists at Yale University have built the world's first anti-laser, in which incoming beams of light interfere with one another in such a way as to perfectly cancel each other out. The discovery could pave the way for a number of novel technologies with applications in everything from optical computing to radiology.
