Lasers are made of physical matter. Therefore, the natural degradation of their materials can cause variability in performance. Aging optics often cause slow changes in laser behavior and, when left...

3D machine vision systems using structured light or time-of-flight technology are limited in their capability by the singularity of their working principle: to provide basic distance or depth...

Portable and hand-held spectrometers have matured, and in the past few years hand-held devices targeted to the general consumer market have been introduced. This webinar will survey the portable...

From automotive panels and avionics to LED-illuminated controls and accents — backlit components must be inspected to ensure the accuracy and visual quality of icons, shapes, and text. These...

Free-space optics (FSO), also known as optical wireless communication or optical wireless networking, refers to the transmission of data using modulated beams of light through free space (air or a...

GigE, short for gigabit Ethernet, refers to a standard for high-speed Ethernet communication, capable of transmitting data at rates of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps), or 1000 megabits per second...

A photovoltaic cell, commonly known as a solar cell, is a semiconductor device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. The photovoltaic effect is...

An opaque projector is a device used for enlarging and projecting images from opaque objects such as printed pages, photographs, or three-dimensional objects onto a screen or surface. Unlike a...

SUNY Albany will become the home of the new Center for Biophotonic Technology and Artificial Intelligence. Teledyne Technologies is expanding after acquiring contracts from Excelitas. IonQ is in the...
