Hübner Photonics Metamaterial Inc (META) have announced the installation at META (Halifax, Canada) Hübner’s C-Wave GTR/NIR (green-to-red/near-IR) tunable laser. The new system—the first its kind in world, companies say—features a broad color palette from three sources. Crucially, it covers significant gap green region that is costly complex to address with alternative narrow-bandwidth lasers. With GTR/NIR, will be able record holograms any desired wavelength across entire visible spectrum and, therefore, potentially accelerate holographic product development. full-spectrum capability allow company craft full-color red, green, blue combination wavelengths users may require optical combiners augmented reality head-up display applications.
