Tuneable Laser System by APE for the Calibration of Radiometric and Photometric Detectors

September 15th, 2020

APE talks with Dr. Philipp Schneider from the working group “Spectoradiometry” of PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) about the use of APE’s tuneable laser system for the calibration of radiometric and photometric detectors Dr. Philipp Schneider is a scientist at PTB, the German National Metrology Institute. No scientific experiment, no industrial process and no transport of goods and commodities can do without quantification and PTB provides the 'backbone' for this, the traceability to the International System of Units (SI). An important role is...

Picosecond Laser picoEmerald at Zhejiang University

June 10th, 2020

Delivery and commissioning of larger laser systems usually require highly qualified engineers to install such equipment. Customers must be able to rely on manufacturers sending engineers to any place in the world for installation and commissioning. However, the current pandemic situation and the associated travel restrictions have significantly impaired this actually common way of working. Professor Delong Zhang of Zhejiang University (China) was concerned that a planned installation of a new high-performance laser system in his laboratory could not take...
