LCOS devices are driven by AC voltage, which can induce flickering caused by oscillation of liquid crystal molecules. While flicker may be negligible in visual applications, it can severely impact high-precision optical systems. Our SLM reduces flicker by operating at drive frequencies above 1 KHz. It also supports video signal input via a digital visual […]

What is Flatbed Laser Cutting? Flatbed laser cutting is a generic term used for the cutting of sheet steel. The term is used to differentiate between the other two types of laser cutting: Tube and 5 axis. How Does it Work? Flatbed laser cutting system suppliers such as Trumpf, Bystronic or Amada all use a

While designed for spaceborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) validation, the study demonstrates why such multidimensional test regimes, combining radiation, thermal, and high-repetition laser stress, are essential to qualify coatings for modern defense systems. Current advances in optical coatings When coating systems are developed for defense and space, it often begins with one basic question:
