More than two decades of innovation places NKT photonics as a driving force in science based research, industrial application, and quantum computing.
Introduction
NKT Photonics is one of the global leaders in photonics with core competencies in high-performance fiber lasers and supercontinuum sources. Since Crystal Fibre merged with Koheras over twenty years ago, they have established a reputation for innovation and reliability. The products from NKT Photonics find applications in various scientific researches, in medical diagnostics, and material processing.
Supercontinuum Broadband Source
NKT Photonics has developed an innovative product line, for example, technology for supercontinuum broadband source-based UV to NIR wavelengths. This technology uses a photonic crystal fibre; optical fibres in some are manipulating light within the fibre through a microstructured arrangement of air holes. This interaction between laser light and the specific structure of the fibre generates spectral broadening for different applications in spectroscopy, imaging, and sensing.
Supercontinua laser is this type of technology: a range of SuperK series lasers which represent this technology. SuperK lasers deliver bright diffraction-limited light at all wavelengths from 390 nm to 2400 nm. Robustness and high power output makes these categories of lasers robust for intensive usage within labs and industrial sites. Another plus about the SuperK EXT. These types of laser sources work across numerous light colours, useful for research applications in science, and general imaging.
Supercontinuum broadband sources are useful for spectroscopy (materials analysis), imaging. Overall, the method enables lasers to produce multiple colours of lightwaves.
High Power Femtosecond Laser
NKT Photonics develops world-class high-power femtosecond laser technology that find their most important application when the ultra-short pulse duration is required. Lasers have developed pulses of the order of femtoseconds measuring 10^-15 seconds. It is used when the material is very fine and complex methods of imaging are involved. ORIGAMI is a laser series of the femtosecond type that has been developed for free maintenance in harsh environments so that it can be used for research field and industries.
Femtosecond lasers would really come in handy for the applications meant to achieve cooling and trapping of the atom since manipulating the atoms is very delicate using an ultra-precise approach that most probably would attain close-to-zero temperature, thus offering a way to better investigation on quantum mechanics and atomic physics.
Atom Cooling & Trapping
With this method and laser technology, atom cooling and trapping does exactly what is specified for atoms. The accuracy with which NKT controls atomic movements allows the slowing down of atoms using laser light that reduces their thermal energy. This, therefore, allows cooling of atoms accompanied by magnetic or optical trapping as experiments which study basic phenomena such as quantum.
This aspect is used in the manufacture of Bose-Einstein condensates and quantum computers. The inventions promise quantum based on future technologies to realize powerful computers and new information-processing techniques[3][6].
UV Nanosecond Laser
NKT Photonics also makes UV nanosecond laser technology besides the femtosecond products. This is a product of critical value in applications which include material processing, medical diagnostics, and scientific research. It operates at pulses of the order of nanoseconds, 10^-9 seconds.
The UV range is relatively efficient in applications like ablation and micromachining because the light impacts at the molecular level and interacts with the material. The UV lasers that NKT offers have reliability and efficiency designed to fit laboratories as well as lines of production.
Conclusion
NKT Photonics is the most favorite photonic technology company and its leading innovation in laser solutions. The wavelength coverage range can be facilitated through supercontinuum sources as well as through its high-power femtosecond lasers that help the most current research in quantum physics. It has, therefore, made NKT the preferred partner of many industries to further the potential of photonics in our world today.
