3 Tunable Dye Lasers

Fluidic fibre dye lasers.

We report the demonstration of compact fluidic fibre lasers based on capillary tubes and photonic crystal fibres, featuring single channel and multiple laterally integrated fluidic lasers respectively. Their preparation was based on capillary action and lasing occurred without the need for external mirrors or lithographically defined microstructures. The fibre lasers were found to be tunable by...

Optofluidic Dye Lasers

Optofluidic dye lasers refer to a class of liquid dye lasers, usually on a microfabricated device, in which the adaptive nature of the liquid gain medium allows the dynamical control of the laser properties. Miniaturizing liquid dye lasers onto a microfluidic device not only results in compact, easy-to-maintain and safe dye laser systems, but also provides unprecedented optical performances suc...

Tunable Diode Lasers

At the recent Photonics West and Optical Fiber Conferences, companies presented many new products, ranging from mechanical products to instruments to complex laser systems. As a product engineer, there is nothing quite like the feeling of standing in the booth, talking to potential customers about the product You’ve designed or built. But the real success happens when customers buy the product ...
