We honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s profound contributions to the civil rights movement and his unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and freedom. His vision continues to inspire us as we strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our industry and the communities we serve. #MLKDay

Searching for the latest laser innovations at #PhotonicsWest? Visit booth #627 to see the latest in laser technology, from diode lasers to advanced laser systems! Thorlabs' GSL Series Gain-Switched Lasers provide picosecond, nanosecond, and continuous wave operation in compact, fiber-coupled packages with center wavelengths from 450 nm to 1550 nm. These lasers feature gain-switched pulse generation with adjustable pulse widths and repetition rates up to 200 MHz. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eQxwRxyY. Our DFB13TK Single-Frequency, Turnkey, Low-Noise Laser System at 1310 nm is a ready-to-use laser system that integrates a distributed feedback (DFB) diode with a low-noise driver inside of a benchtop housing. Factory-set for optimized performance, the laser has a minimum output power of 100 mW with a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 50 dB. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eYYv4tnR. The LWIRSC Long-Wave Infrared Supercontinuum Laser (LWIRSC) expands our supercontinuum offerings into the long-wave infrared, accessing the molecular fingerprint region. With a wavelength range to covering approximately 3.5 μm to 11 μm, this laser complements our award-winning SC4500 mid-infrared supercontinuum laser.

Applications are now being accepted for the Theodor W. Hänsch Prize in #QuantumOptics! We are pleased to sponsor this prize, which provides recognition and funding for early-career professionals engaged in exciting and innovative projects that have the potential to make an impact on the science and applications of optics-enabled #quantumtechnologies. Applications are open until February 14, 2025.

Interested in learning more about infrared spectroscopy, a crucial tool for identifying and measuring chemical compounds and biological materials? Conventional infrared spectroscopy techniques often have limitations with time resolution and adapting to rapidly changing conditions, requiring faster, more sensitive spectral measurements. Join Reza Salem, Associate Director, Thorlabs Laser Division, as he discusses the capabilities of the IRISF1 dual-comb quantum cascade laser spectrometer and its advantages over conventional methods. Plus, Kevin Lascola, Director of Engineering, Thorlabs Quantum Electronics, will share exciting updates from Thorlabs' collaboration with Princeton University on remote emissions monitoring for environmental and security applications.

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Praevium Research, a world leader in high-speed tunable MEMS-VCSEL technology! Founded by Dr. Vijay Jayaraman in 2001, Praevium has been partnering with Thorlabs since 2008, when it became a member of Thorlabs’ Strategic Partner Program. Praevium’s expertise in high-speed semiconductor laser design has been instrumental in driving innovation in the OCT medical device market and enabling Thorlabs’ own OCT product lines. Together, we have developed groundbreaking technologies, including MEMS-VCSEL Swept-Wavelength Laser Sources and Swept Source OCT Systems, which have advanced photonics applications in biomedical imaging, sensing, and beyond. As a division of Thorlabs, Praevium will retain its leadership team, with Christopher Burgner as General Manager and Dr. Vijay Jayaraman as Senior Scientist, and will continue operations under the Praevium Research name in its current facility near Santa Barbara, CA.

Discover the latest in spectroscopy from Thorlabs at #BiOS! Visit booth #8419 to explore our cutting-edge solutions designed to meet the demands of spectroscopy applications across research and industry. Chat with our experts and discover how our innovative technologies can support your work. Our Portable Raman Spectrometers incorporate our innovative Coded-Aperture (CODA) technology to offer a sampling area of approximately Ø2 mm, making them ideal for detecting low-intensity Raman signals. In addition to a 785 nm laser for the fingerprint region, the RASP2 spectrometer includes a supplemental 680 nm laser for the high frequency region. Our Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate is designed for SERS, a subset of Raman spectroscopy that can enhance the Raman scattering of a sample by orders of magnitude. The SERS substrate is made from a textured fused quartz substrate with gold deposited on the surface, creating plasmonic nanostructures that enable sensitivity down to parts per billion! Thorlabs' RSB1(/M) Raman Spectroscopy Kit is a modular spectroscopy system that features a large coded aperture at the spectrograph input instead of a traditional slit to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio, a low power density, and room temperature operation. Use this kit for quantitative analysis of chemical mixtures, quality inspection, and monitoring of chemical processes in production! #Spectroscopy #SPIEBiOS #BiOS2025 #Thorlabs
