Coherent's PowerMax USB/RS Sensors Are First to Use Microelectronics Miniaturization Techniques

The new PowerMax™ USB/RS sensors from Coherent Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) are the world’s first laser power sensors that utilizes state of the art microelectronics miniaturization techniques and integrates an entire instrument within a USB 2.0 or RS-232 cable connector. Specifically, PowerMax USB/RS sensors have all the signal processing and power measurement electronics normally contained in a LabMax meter, and connects directly to a PC with plug and play functionality. Ideally suited for low and high volume embedded sensor applications, this new family of sensors eliminates the need for a separate meter box, thus delivering a significant savings in cost and space, but with no reduction whatsoever in performance.

Scientists' Work Attributes Formation of High Quality Electron Beam to the Evolution of Bubble Shape

Particle accelerators are among the largest and most expensive scientific instruments. Thirty years ago, theorists John Dawson and Toshiki Tajima proposed an idea for making them thousands of times smaller: surf the particles on plasma waves driven by short intense laser pulses. Since plasmas are free of the damage limits of conventional accelerators, much larger fields can be built up within such waves, enabling much smaller accelerators.
