Following Laser World of Photonics 2022, we spoke with Matthias Sachsenhauser from Hamamatsu Photonics about the role of laser-driven light sources in the future of the photonics sector.
Metalenses are flat lenses that use metasurfaces to focus light. The metasurfaces are a series of artificial antennae that manipulate the optical response of the incident light, including its amplitude phase and polarization.

Jake Porrazzo demonstrates the effectiveness of CleanBench in vibration damping and isolation, distinguishing the two concepts.
TMC's Gimbal Piston® Air Isolators excel in low-frequency vibration isolation, with MaxDamp isolators providing rapid settling for dynamic applications.
The advantages of laser scan micrometers are their accuracy, fast scan speeds and relative ease of operation. Laser micrometers can be used for object sizing and as helpful auxiliary tools in measurement – such as measuring the displacement of delay stages more precisely.
