Furukawa America Announces New FITEL 488nm SHG Blue Laser for Biomedical Applications.PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. -- Furukawa America Inc. announces the release of the FITEL FITEL First International Telecom 488nm Second Harmonic Generation Second harmonic generation (SHG; also called frequency doubling) is a nonlinear optical process, in which photons interacting with a nonlinear material are effectively "combined" to form new photons with twice the energy, and therefore twice the frequency and half the blue laser for bioinstrumentation bi·o·in·stru·men·ta·tion n. 1. Use of instruments for the recording or transmission of physiological information, such as breathing rate or heart rate. 2. The instruments so used. applications including DNA sequencers, fluorescent microscope cell analysis and other biomedical analytical equipment. The FITEL blue laser is manufactured by the Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd., the world's leading supplier of semiconductor pumping laser diodes for the telecommunications industry. Furukawa Electric deploys these same proven technologies in the 488nm SHG SHG Second Harmonic Generation SHG Short-Handed Goals (hockey) SHG Self Help Group SHG State History Guide (formerly State House Girls) SHG Sacred Heart Griffin blue laser, using semiconductor laser and wavelength conversion devices to meet the specific needs of biomedical use. A Fiber Bragg Grating A short length of optical fiber that filters out a particular wavelength. Periodically spaced zones in the fiber core are altered to have different refractive indexes slightly higher than the core. stabilized 976nm semiconductor laser, with polarization maintaining fiber, creates the initial light source. FBG FBG Fiber Bragg Gratings FBG Fasting Blood Glucose FBG Functional Brain-Gut Research Group FBG Florida Brewer's Guild FBG Fluidized Bed Generator FBG Flavor Blasted Goldfish (gaming) FBG Forum Battle Group reflectivity re·flec·tiv·i·ty n. pl. re·flec·tiv·i·ties 1. The quality of being reflective. 2. The ability to reflect. 3. is carefully tuned to control the longitudinal mode of laser oscillation to achieve stable wavelength conversion with the SHG device. This configuration reduces the number of components required and increases reliability. The light output is coupled to a single mode fiber to produce an ideal Gaussian beam with excellent pointing stability.

Known for high performance and highly reliable optical technologies, Furukawa Electric's introduction of the FITEL 488nm blue laser marks its recent entry into the biomedical field. Furukawa America, Inc. (www.FurukawaAmerica.com) sells FITEL and Furukawa brand products in the Americas, serving customers in a variety of markets including electronics, communications and medical products. FITEL brand products include lasers, fusion splicers, optical amplifiers, passive components, cable assemblies and components. Furukawa brand products include heat pipes/heat sinks, Salamander salamander, an amphibian of the order Urodela, or Caudata. Salamanders have tails and small, weak limbs; superficially they resemble the unrelated lizards (which are reptiles), but they are easily distinguished by their lack of scales and claws, and by their moist, reflow ovens, UV tape, memory disks, and NT alloy products. Furukawa America is headquartered in Peachtree City, GA, with regional offices in Santa Clara, CA, and Clinton, NJ. The Furukawa Electric Co. Ltd. (www.furukawa.co.jp/english) is a global leader in the design, manufacture, and supply of optical fiber and cables, photonic products, power cables, nonferrous metals, and electronics devices. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Furukawa Electric operates facilities in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Hungary, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Asian countries. |
