Litron News & Updates

All the latest news & updates from one of the world's leading laser manufacturers

Interesting scholarly papers written by researchers using Litron Lasers in PIV applications.

LDY-PIV-smoke

It even surprised us how just many scientific fields Litron’s PIV lasers are now used in. Having been the world leader in PIV laser technology since its inception with the number of lasers shipped in the 1,000’s its gratifying to see researchers worldwide putting this technology to ever more diverse applications and is a credit to they’re vision and creative thinking.

We’ve split the list into two sections to help you find relevant papers close to your own specific application area.

The first list links to papers using standard twin head pulsed lamp pumped Nd:YAG lasers operating at 532 nm at 10 Hz to 200 Hz repetition rates.

The second list links to papers using high frequency pulsed twin head pulsed diode pumped Nd:YLF lasers operating at 527 nm typically at 1 kHz to 20 kHz repetition rates.
