The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) has developed, in cooperation with the Hoerner & Sulger GmbH, a miniaturized laser system which is especially apt for the service in space. The prototype consisting of a laser head and electronics is extremely compact and weighs only 187 g. The laser system can be used in a so called “Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy” (LIBS) in order to explore planetary surfaces. LIBS is an analytical method which can determine the distribution of elements on the surfaces of planets in order to find out about existing types of materials on each spot. (more…)

Coherent Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) has introduced two new Genesis™ CW green (532 nm) lasers for life science applications offering a combination of low-noise (< 0.1% rms) and excellent mode quality (M² <1.1).  The Genesis 532‑1000 S lasers produce over 1 Watt of output power, while the Genesis 532-500 S lasers deliver over 0.5 Watts.  Both lasers are air-cooled, can be directly modulated and are available in OEM packaging.
