Edmund Optics established a 34,000-sq-ft laser optics center in Oldsmar, Fla. The center is dedicated to manufacturing optical components with high laser damage thresholds from the ultraviolet to the...

SiLC Technologies has received an investment from Honda to develop next-generation frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) lidar solutions for mobility applications. SiLC is a developer of...

G&H has made its second acquisition in less than a month, acquiring Artemis Optical, a developer and manufacturer of thin-film coatings. The deal is worth up to £8.9 million ($11.5...

ZEISS and 3D scanner and measurement systems developer Scantech are partnering to offer Scantech scanners with ZEISS inspection software. The collaborations seeks to enhance the performance of...

The RTI NEO 12 from Laserworld AG is a powerful laser beam array bar with scanners, offering higher power and improved visibility over its predecessor. With 12-W power and a color balance of 6...

The ECS 4090 from Automation Technology is a large field of view 3D sensor for applications in the food industry, logistics, and robot vision. By supporting standard interfaces such as GenICam and...

The LSP-LRS-1200 and -1000 from LumiSpot Tech are 905-nm laser ranging modules that can be used in laser range finding, distance sensing, consumer, and defense applications. The LSP-LRS-1200 can...

Meller Optics’ lidar optics can be fabricated to match specific military and commercial application requirements. Made from materials such as germanium, sapphire, silicon, UV glass, zinc...

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...

To Isaac Newton the problem was clear, and in 1704 he realized the effects of atmospheric turbulence on image formation. Just as heat waves shimmering above a hot patch of ground can distort our...

Controlling and minimizing heat output is desirable in most lighting applications. For example, conventional incandescent light sources are very inefficient with only a small portion of the...

An optical time-domain reflectometer sends short pulses of light into a fiber and measures its reflections as a function of time. The delay of these reflections to the detector as well as their...

With the pressure on design engineers to deliver smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective components, many are turning to micro injection molding for support. Micro-optics present greater...

Machine vision has become increasingly relevant in automation as its usage continues to grow. However, not all machine vision is created equal. Traditional rules-based machine vision excels at...

With the explosive growth of applications such as AI and high-performance computing, modern data centers must find ways to support an exponentially rising demand for transferring massive amounts of...

This webinar will provide an overview of the state of the art in hyperspectral imaging, discussing the major architectures for hyperspectral imagers together with their performance trade-offs....

Data analysis software is a category of software tools used for the systematic examination of data sets to uncover patterns, trends, relationships, and insights. It supports a range of analytical...

Optical design software refers to specialized computer programs used by optical engineers, physicists, and designers to simulate, model, analyze, and optimize the performance of optical systems and...

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...

Microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, refer to miniature devices or systems that integrate mechanical and electrical components at a microscale. These systems combine elements such as sensors,...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we introduce you to Drake Anthony, aka styropyro. Drake, 25, has been building his own lasers since he was 12 years old. He's got quite the following on his...

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...

Technology Transfer Programs are often a concerted effort to share skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples of manufacturing, and facilities among governments or...

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...
