Using resonance scanners and ultrafast laser in FT-CARS
In this published paper by Hashimoto et al. (2018), ‘Ultra-broadband rapid-scan Fourier-transform CARS spectroscopy with sub-10-fs optical pulses’ leverages the benefits of products from Novanta. The experimental set-up contains a venteon ultra from Laser Quantum and a resonant scanner, CRS12 kHz, from Cambridge Technology. The paper demonstrates ultra-broadband Fourier-Transform Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (FT-CARS) spectroscopy. […]
Advancements in nanoparticles
A recent paper in nature communications by Kim et al, (2018) ‘Photonic crystal cavities from hexagonal boron nitride’ uses the gem 532 laser as the excitation laser for the broadband emission in hexagonal boron nitride and single emitters. The paper examines the development of a scalable quantum photonic technique. It utilises hexagonal boron nitride as […]
Interesting new paper using the ventus 532
In a paper by Nieves et al. titled ‘Photothermal raster image correlation spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles in solution and on live cells’, the ventus 532 is used as the excitation laser within the photothermal confocal microscope set-up. In the experiment, the technique used, Raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS), enables observation of a greater area of […]
The Quantum Flagship – expanding European scientific research
The Quantum Flagship, a new €1bn initiative spanning the course of the next 10 years, has now officially launched. The Quantum Flagship aims to push Europe to the forefront of quantum research collating over 5000 European researchers in academia and industry, and Laser Quantum’s product development has been able to contribute to one of the […]
New cancer detection techniques via microscope
Oxford Nanoimaging, a UK-based super-resolution imaging company, has showcased a groundbreaking new desktop microscope which allows scientists to see individual molecules in living cells. Their super-resolution microscope can measure molecules as close as 20 nanometers apart; by comparison, a sheet of paper is around 100,000 nm in thickness. ONI hopes to use this imaging technique […]
Nobel Prize in Physics 2018
Scientists Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland share the Nobel prize in physics for their pioneering work in laser physics, uncovering the applications that have led to the development of many Laser Quantum products. Ashkin has won half of the £771,000 prize for inventing optical tweezers, using laser light as a tool to move […]
