Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ILMINSTER, England, Jan. 10, 2008 -- Gooch & Housego Plc announced this week that it will mark its 60th anniversary by bringing five of its photonics and optoelectronics businesses together under the Gooch & Housego brand name. The integration involves five companies: Gooch & Housego UK, a manufacturer of acousto-optic Q-switches; Cleveland Crystals, a grower of crystals for laser, electro-optics and laser fusion applications; acousto-optic technologies manufacturer Neos Technologies; Landwehr Electronic, a provider of high-frequency microelectronics for laser control systems; and fiber optics supplier Sifam...Read full article

    acousto-optic
    Acousto-optic refers to the interaction between sound waves and light waves within a material medium, where acoustic waves (sound waves) influence the optical properties of the material. This interaction can be used to control light in various ways, such as deflecting, modulating, or filtering light beams. The effect is primarily due to the phenomenon known as the acousto-optic effect or photoelastic effect, where the refractive index of the material is altered by the pressure variations caused...
    metrology
    Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
