An even lower M2 value – opus 1064
The M2 value of a DPSS continuous wave laser has always been important in applications including optical trapping and Raman spectroscopy. In optical trapping, an M2 value close to unity enables a high degree of position predictability and repeatability, whilst in Raman spectroscopy, it ensures a tightly focussed beam. In both applications, the data gathered […]

NV diamonds lead to a break-through in maser development
Recently published research by the Maser Group at Imperial College London, University College London and lead author Dr Jonathan Breeze have highlighted continuous wave masers using diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres. The work was featured in Nature and became the front cover article for the March 2018 issue. The maser, an acronym for “microwave amplification […]
