High-Pressure Photoelectron Spectroscopy (HPPES) advances catalysis research by enabling real-time surface analysis under ambient and high-pressure conditions.

Research into spectroscopy in the mid-IR spectral region has made several recent breakthroughs, spurred by potential uses of the technique in biophotonics and medical imaging. But development of ...

California-based Oclaro Inc. has agreed to acquire the local Spectra-Physics operation of Newport Corp. as part of an asset-exchange deal. Oclaro plans to consolidate some of Spectra-Physics' laser ...

How it works: the top frequency comb is passed through a sample of interest and then into a beamsplitter. The bottom frequency comb operates at a slightly different pulse repetition frequency and is ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

PATRICK L. EDSELL has been Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Spectra-Physics, Inc. since it went public in October 1997. Prior to that, he served as President of the Spectra-Physics' ...
