Based in Lübeck, Germany, Dr. Michael Leitner plays a fundamental role in our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology! He began working with OCT systems in 2006 while pursuing his doctorate at the University of Porto in Portugal and the University of Kent in the United Kingdom. From 2010 to 2013, Dr. Leitner lead the OCT group at the Research Center for Non-Destructive Testing in Linz, Austria prior to joining Thorlabs! Click through to learn more.

The Thorlabs Mobile Photonics Lab Experience had a great summer back on the East Coast! After some much-needed maintenance to recover from our cross-country tour, the mobile lab has covered another 2,000 miles across three states to provide experiences for over 800 attendees. We kicked off the summer by teaming up with NJMEP for the Future Makers and Creators Tour stop at Orange High School and with AmeriCOM for their summer workshop at Sussex County Community College to support the promotion of manufacturing careers. Next, we made a return visit to Boston to connect with physics teachers during the 2024 American Association of Physics Teachers - AAPT Summer Meeting. During the remainder of July, we supported three STEM summer camps including: Tim Kane with the Penn State University Anything is Possible for Girls in Electrical Engineering (APOGEE), Aísha Ciafullo, Ed.M with the The Academy at Rutgers School of Engineering for Girls in Engineering & Technology (TARGET), and Tunde Onitiri with the Camden Dream Center Technology Training School. Finally, we attended the New Jersey State Fair for a weekend visit of corn dogs, carnival rides, thunderstorms, and photonics! The mobile lab is now taking a short break, but the team is hard at work finalizing our fall semester visits in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, and Virginia.

Quickly evaluate the quality of femtosecond laser pulses with Thorlabs' new Microscope Slide Peak Power Sensor for Two-Photon Lasers! This sensor allows for the relative peak power of two-photon lasers to be measured at the focus of a microscope by utilizing a β-BBO crystal to convert the laser pulses to their second harmonic and short pass filters to only pass the visible second harmonic to the Silicon photodetector. The optical power of the converted second harmonic light can then be easily read out on a standard Thorlabs power meter. The NS170C sensor is compatible with standard upright and inverted microscope slide holders and can be used to ensure day-to-day consistency in experimental conditions.
