Heraeus Noblelight, based in Cambridge (UK), is recognised for excellence in photonics technology, producing specialist lamps with wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to infrared for industrial, scientific and medical applications. Heraeus are world leaders in manufacturing flashlamps – high energy, broadband, pulsed energy sources, typically used as the pumping source in a solid state laser. Their exciting new innovation has been to design a system that uses the flashlamps as a direct heat source for composites – humm3 Technology.
