The vacuum ultraviolet region is the area of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between X-rays and visible light. It is characterized by very short wavelengths between about 100 and 200 nanometers.

Ultraviolet light has always sat at the edge of human perception, powerful yet invisible, more associated with sterilizing lamps and sunburn than with high speed data. That is starting to change as ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing applications; however, previous UV-B laser diodes were limited to pulsed operation ...

Commercial uses for ultraviolet (UV) light are growing, and now a new kind of LED under development could lead to more portable and low-cost uses of the technology. Commercial uses for ultraviolet (UV ...

The ability to detect chemical and biological agents on the battlefield would go a long way toward reducing threats to soldiers. But the systems the Defense Department currently has — ultraviolet ...

Monport develops CO2 laser engraver, fiber laser and UV laser systems for industrial, commercial and professional engraving applications. The company focuses on accessible precision technology ...

UV laser engraving is a marking process that uses a short-wavelength ultraviolet laser to engrave surfaces through photochemical reactions rather than thermal burning. This method enables ...

Laser engraving has become a new hobby of mine as of late. I've been tinkering around with blue diode lasers that can engrave, but seem to function better as organic material cutters. I also have an ...

Asahi Kasei Corporation succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light. The laser diode emits the world’s shortest lasing wavelength, at 271.8 nanometers (nm), under pulsed ...
