The LMS-RF-NC-6010-NI-01-MO from LumiSpot Tech is a light weight rangefinder that offers a recognition distance of up to 6 km in daylight and 1 km in low-light conditions. With a ranging error of...

The OG0TC from OMNIVISION is a backside illuminated (BSI) global shutter image sensor for eye and face tracking in AR, VR, and mixed reality consumer headsets and glasses. The 2.2-µm sensor is...

The GP-CVM600P series of 600-W LED constant voltage drivers from GlacialPower include nondimming, 3-in-1, and DALI-2 dimming versions. The direct-current output voltages include 12, 24, 36, 48,...

The ILX-LR1 from Sony is an interchangeable lens camera designed for industrial use with approximately 61 megapixels 35 mm full-frame image sensor made for inspection, investigation, surveying, and...

Infrared system design is not, like some circuit design, a synthetic process. One cannot start by stating the problem and proceeding in an orderly fashion to a final solution. Rather, we guess a...

There is a growing market for imaging systems that provides an immediate, slow-motion view of a process that allows one to see events that happen too quickly for the human eye to perceive or...

Illumination design has developed rapidly to include not only automotive headlamps and street lamps, but also backlit displays, fluorescent panel lighting, light-emitting diode or laser sources, and...

Imaging has long been used in industrial processes to measure, monitor, control, or otherwise manage the production of goods. The challenge to the process designer is to develop a tool that captures...

Vision applications have been dominated by silicon (Si)-based image sensors, which are perfectly suited for visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths up to ~1 µm. Shortwave infrared (SWIR) is...

Metaoptics is a flat optics technology that uses an array of subwavelength nanostructures to bend and steer light. A typical metalens can use an array of sub-100-nm-diameter pillars to implement the...

The beam envelope method is an efficient numerical tool for solving nonlinear optics in long and slender structures, such as optical waveguides, laser rods, and more. This webinar will demonstrate...

Multiple industries are now requiring high performance from their optical systems while also minimizing the size, weight, and power of system designs. To meet these engineering challenges, a process...

A GaAlAs laser is a type of semiconductor laser diode that emits light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is composed of layers of gallium, aluminum, and arsenic, hence...

An optical filter is a device that selectively transmits or blocks specific wavelengths, or colors, of light. Optical filters are used to control the spectral content of light in various...

Area scan, in the context of imaging and cameras, refers to a method of capturing an entire two-dimensional image in a single snapshot or exposure. Unlike line scan, which captures images one line at...

An optical assembly refers to a collection of optical components that are carefully arranged and aligned to perform a specific function within an optical system. These components may include lenses,...

On this month's episode of Light Matters, we take you to central Massachusetts as Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Quinsigamond Community College take on a comprehensive joint photonics laboratory...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we take you to the grand opening of the Price Chopper Market 32 Capital Holiday Lights in the Park in downtown Albany, New York. We'll introduce you to the...

Researchers at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a new phenomenon of quantum cascade laser frequency combs, which would allow the devices to...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we give you an in-depth look at North America's largest optical fabrication exhibition and show – Optifab 2017. 188 companies filled the showroom floor of the...
