Photonics Industries Announces the Highest Power Commercially Available UV ns Lasers for Industrial Applications
Increased power is necessary to increase the throughput of many industrial laser material processing applications. To meet these emerging needs of its industrial customers, Photonics Industries International has extended its Nd:YVO4 based DSH Series laser offering to include 50W of green and 30W of UV average power in a commercially available diode pumped solid state laser.
Photonics Industries announces high intensity sub ns SN Series laser for industrial micro machining applications
There is a desire to use shorter (i.e., sub ns) pulse width lasers to enable a more precise ablative based material processing. If the pulse width is too long >10 ns the processing is fast, but crude. If the pulse width is too short
New 70W LED Driver powers multi-chip arrays
It is an acknowledged trend that LED lighting is moving to higher power and this realized by either connecting LEDs in arrays or by wiring many LEDs in series. The required LED voltage grows proportionally to the number of LEDs in the chain or array.
New LED Driver Design from Power Integrations Maximizes Efficiency of High-Voltage LEDs, Targets Compact B10, GU10, E17 and A19 Bulbs
Power Integrations has published a reference design (DER-297) describing a high-efficiency, ultra-compact driver for a B10-style LED light bulb. Based on Power Integrations' LinkSwitch-PL non-isolated, single-stage LED driver IC, the power supply is specifically tailored for use with high-voltage LEDs such as the recently announced XLamp XM-L and XLamp XT-E ranges from Cree. DER-297 provides the high-voltage output required by the LEDs, optimizin...
X-COM Systems launches 4CH-VSG2000 Four-Channel Arbitrary Waveform Vector Signal Generator
X-COM Systems, LLC has introduced the 4CH-VSG2000, which in the compact space of a 2U rack-mount enclosure combines four independently-programmable arbitrary waveform vector signal generators (VSGs) each with dedicated removable 1-Tbyte solid-state drives for waveform storage.
CapCad Take The Catwalk For Capacitor Modelling

Diodes Incorporated Packages MOSFETs for Cooler Operation
Diodes Incorporated has announced the introduction of its first MOSFETs to be housed in the miniature DFN1212-3 package. With a junction to ambient thermal resistance (Rthj-a) of 130ºC/W, the package supports a power dissipation of up to 1W under continuous conditions, ensuring significantly cooler operation than that achievable with existing footprint-compatible SOT723 alternatives characterized by an Rthj-a performance of 280ºC/W.
NI Extends Leading PXI Innovation With Six New Product Announcements at Productronica
National Instruments has introduced two system expansion options for creating multichassis PXI Express systems. The NI PXIe-8364 and NI PXIe-8374 are the first NI PXI Express remote control modules that make it possible for engineers to directly interface multiple PXI Express chassis to a single host computer using any expansion topology, without requiring complex custom solutions. The modules’ simplified interconnectivity and industry-standard...
