Presenting at the Institute of Physics careers evening
On Tuesday 17th October, Natasha Mupasi from Laser Quantum presented at the Institute of Physics careers evening in Manchester. The audience was comprised of undergraduate physicists from Manchester, Liverpool and Lancaster. During her presentation Natasha talked about her career path, how she discovered Laser Quantum, what attracted her to work at the company and her […]
Laser Quantum at Female-led Nonlinear Optical Microscopy meetings
Dr. Andreas Isemann from Laser Quantum Germany, recently took part in the meetings at FINON, a female research network which aims to develop Nonlinear Optical Microscopy (NOM) techniques into the nano-dimension, and an Innovative Training Networks (ITN) project. In this final meeting, Kathrin Domke (MPIP, GER) chaired the session, the overall goal of the project […]
A visit from the Vice Lord-Lieutenant
Yesterday, Laser Quantum was visited by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Paul Griffiths DL, to be presented with its Queen’s Award for Enterprise. The award was announced in April on Her Majesty’s birthday, and was presented to us today with a speech from the Queen, quoted verbatim. Alongside the official trophy, Laser Quantum was […]
Laser Quantum to Exhibit at Optics and Photonics in Sweden
Laser Quantum will be exhibiting at the upcoming Optics & Photonics in Sweden conference (OPS) 2017, which will be held 18-19 October 2017 at the Electrum research institute in Kista, Stockholm. OPS invited talks will cover a variety of topics in Optics and Photonics, reflecting current Swedish research and development at universities, institutes and in the […]
2017 Nobel Physics Prize awarded
The 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy this week in Stockholm, Sweden. The prize was split between three American Physicists, one half awarded to Rainer Weiss, the other half jointly to Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne “for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation […]
Technical expertise added to the website!
We have added a range of new articles to our venteon OPCPA and venteon CEP5 pages on our website. We have also increased the technical information available to further illustrate the benefits of the venteon OPCPA; an ideal amplifier for nonlinear spectroscopy, high harmonic generation and applications in attosecond physics. Watch the latest videos and […]
Deep-brain imaging via epi-fluorescence Computational Cannula Microscopy
A recent paper written by the University of Utah utilises the gem 561 as an excitation source for widefield fluorescence microscopy and video imaging of the inside of a rodent’s brain, in a minimally invasive procedure. A surgical glass needle was used to guide the excitation light to the brain and transmit the fluorescence signals […]
Ultrafast adiabatic second harmonic generation
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is one of the most fundamental techniques used in the photonics laboratory. Widely used in many applications, such as nonlinear spectroscopy, it can suffer from low conversion efficiency to the higher-energy photon when used with short pulses as these can result in low phase-matching. A team from Tel Aviv University, led […]
Laser Quantum raises over £2000 for charity
In the pouring rain, employees of Laser Quantum took to the football field to raise money for ‘The Christie’ – a specialist cancer hospital based in Manchester. The Charity game took place last month and raised over £2000, a fantastic achievement that will make a great difference to the treatment and care provided to the […]
‘Food Fridays’ at Laser Quantum
Over the course of August, Laser Quantum has provided ‘Food Fridays’ to its employees as a way to say thank you for the continuing hard work and effort made by every employee. Each Friday throughout August the workforce has been treated to a selection of lunches from ‘four-wheeled restaurants’: Go Get Stuffed, specialising in ‘Naanwiches’ […]
