Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

The demand for photonics technology continues to grow with popular laser applications including semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), Fabry-Perot (FP) devices and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers.

Photon Design has announced that its FIMMWAVE photonic simulation software played a key role in enabling Photonect's development of an epoxy-free, fibre-to-chip optical interconnect technology ...

Two world-leading research institutions are joining forces and their laser design and simulation expertise – to successfully transition laser-ignited inertial fusion from the experimental stage to ...

ForgeFX Simulations and Somero Enterprises announced the completion of the S-22EZ Advanced Laser Screed Virtual Training Simulator. Designed to transform how operators learn and master the art of ...

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory has awarded a 10-year, $80 million contract to BlueHalo to build a system that models and simulates the use of directed-energy weapons in wargames. The contract ...

Physicists in the US have become the first to use laser light to make neutral, ultracold atoms behave like charged particles in a magnetic field – even though the atoms have no charge. The set-up ...
