This is the third publication in the series on measuring noise and RIN in lasers. This blog by or CEO Cees Links elaborates on how low noise light sources drive better performance in photonics applications. BLOG It is probably no surprise that brighter light brings significant advantages when it comes to high clarity and precision. But what are we talking about when we call light “noisy”, in particular when it concerns lasers? What will you learn from this blog? - What is light noise? - What are noisy light sources? - 3 types of noise explained - The impact of noise on applications - OCT - HSI - Spectroscopy - Metrology - The importance of lower noise and lower RIN ➡️ The power of precision: how low noise light sources drive better performance 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEHQQiFS Better Light, More InSight!

In the series on RIN - Relative Intensity Noise - we have a new publication that outlines how SuperLight Photonics enables spectral domain measurements for RIN. ➡️ The mathematics of the spectral RIN measurement for pulsed lasers 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEHQQiFS Our CTO, Haider Zia , explains the method that can serve as a basis to clarify the RIN technique for pulsed sources in general and the justification for the spectral domain technique described in our whitepaper on RIN measurement. What will you learn from this article? - How to go from the time domain analysis to the equivalent in the spectral domain - Step-by-step guidelines to enable spectral domain measurements for RIN - Examples and detailed calculation methodology A must read for everybody who wants to better understand RIN 🙌

Customers have asked us on several occasions how we measure RIN for our lasers and how we can do this consistently. Indeed, we have our procedures and many years of expertise to guarantee reliable and repeatable results. But why is this important and what's the difficulty? This whitepaper is the first in a series on RIN - Relative Intensity Noise. RIN values are crucial for measuring and enhancing the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of photonics applications. Achieving consistently low RIN levels remains a complex challenge, especially since measuring RIN itself is far from straightforward. Inconsistencies persist, and achieving reliable, repeatable results remains an ongoing challenge. The search for effective solutions is ongoing across the industry - SuperLight Photonics saves the day and explains. Our COO, Bradley Snyder clarifies in his whitepaper ➡️ "What is the correct way to measure RIN in lasers?" https://lnkd.in/eEHQQiFS What will you learn from this whitepaper? - What is the correct way to measure RIN in lasers? - Two ways of measuring RIN with their benefits and limitations - Measuring RIN in Time Domain - Measuring RIN in Frequency Domain - Dos and don'ts for low noise light sources - Why implement stringent, reproducible and repeatable measurement procedures Enjoy!

Laser 2000 would like to introduce the new laser for OCT from SuperLight Photonics : the SLP 1050. With ultra-low RIN noise -120 dB/Hz! It harnesses unprecedented power for enhanced industrial, research, and (bio)medical applications 📈 Using an amplified seed laser, this supercontinuum laser is designed to deliver more than 40 mW, more than 15 times the battery-operated SLP-1000, and a wide spectral range in the NIR-SWIR region. Just like the SLP-1000, it provides a highly coherent, stable, and low noise output. It is a small-form-factor class 3 laser with a short start-up time, no need for calibration, high uptime and maintenance-free. SLP-1050 features : ▪ Higher brightness and power ▪ 25 kW peak power, 25fs at 100MHz ▪ High quality smooth spectral output ▪ Coherent wide bandwidth (time & spectral coherence) ▪ Small size, low weight, battery operated & very robust Its supercontinuum wideband SWIR spectral output, in combination with the ultra-low RIN noise, improves OCT scan resolutions down to the sub-micron level. At Laser2000, we did some calculations and with a 30dB dynamic range detector we calculated resolutions below 700nm. Do you want a datasheet of the SLP1050? Or do you want to discuss the possibilities of this laser in your SWIR OCT applications?

🌟 Celebrating Day of Photonics 🌟 Today, the DAY OF PHOTONICS , we honor the transformative power of light-based technologies as photonics is shaping our future in so many game-changing applications. But do also you know why? On October 21, 1983, a pivotal moment in science history occurred when the General Conference of Weights and Measures adopted the value of 299,792.458 km/s as the official speed of light. This constant is the foundation of modern technologies and continues to inspire breakthroughs in the world of photonics. Obviously, we love photonics, so every other day of the year, SuperLight Photonics is celebrating and advancing photonics as the most pioneering and innovative technology. We hope you will join us – happy DAY OF PHOTONICS ! #DayOfPhotonics #Photonics #SpeedOfLight #SuperLightPhotonics
