The OSX-100E OEM Optical Switch from Santec is available in different sizes up to 80 channels with single-mode, multimode, polarization maintaining, or custom core sizes. It has a low loss of less...

That portion of the spectrum that the eye can see — and its rainbow of colors — is rather small, covering approximately 360 to 830 nm. What colors we perceive depends on wavelength, while...

Intensity and uniformity can be described using different physical attributes, which makes interpreting requirements somewhat confusing. This article intends to provide an explanation and serve as a...

Excimers are pulsed gas lasers that deliver high output power and pulse energies in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. This enables them to power applications that cannot be supported...

The use of precision polymer optics is becoming an increasing necessity today as products demand sophisticated light handling components to achieve desired results. Polymer optics can be thought of...

Shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensors, made using colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photodiodes, offer CMOS-like opportunities for highly scalable, small pixel pitch sensors. This is due to SWIR sensors’...

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate technology has been the defining foundation of silicon photonic integrated circuits for over 20 years, fostering their commercial deployment in the data center by...

While the concept of neuromorphic-enabled event cameras isn’t new, the last few years have seen a significant pick up in the adoption of this technology. This is due, in part, to the progress...

Vince Forte of Marktech Optoelectronics reviews InGaAs detector types, packaging, performance characteristics, and applications in the NIR and SWIR wavelength bands. He focuses particularly on photo...

An actuator is a mechanical or electromechanical device that is responsible for moving or controlling a mechanism or system. It converts various forms of energy (such as electrical, hydraulic,...

A molded lens is an optical lens manufactured using a molding process, typically involving the shaping of a material, such as glass or plastic, into the desired lens shape. This process involves...

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive optical technique used to detect changes in blood volume in tissues. It measures variations in light absorption caused by the pulsatile nature of blood...

A laser diode module is a compact device that incorporates a laser diode, optics, and often other components into a single package. These modules are designed to provide a convenient and efficient...
