Optical Coherence Tomography:

Considering that the average American spends over seven hours a day looking at screens, it is no wonder that the global display industry was worth a staggering $168.4 billion last year. Thanks to the...

New polishing technologies caused a significant shift in optical manufacturing during the start of the 21st century. Computer numerical control (CNC) and deterministic optical polishing/figuring...

In 2017, Clay Bavor, then vice president of Google’s AR/VR division, spoke for all AR/VR device makers when he said, “We need pixels. Way, way more pixels.”1 The display industry...

When used appropriately, a laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscope is a valuable tool for researchers to make quantitative measurements in cells and tissue across various life sciences...

In the search for ever-higher pixel counts for the digital still camera, it is clear that, if chip size remains constant, then “more pixels” means “smaller pixels.” The...

As recently as five years ago, shopping for a microscope light source was fairly straightforward. For routine applications, it was tungsten halogen, typically 100 W, while for fluorescence, it was an...

Optics can be contaminated in many ways. Contamination can be kept to a minimum by returning the optics to their case after use or by covering the optics for protection from the outside environment....

Photonics Media will host its third annual Photonics Spectra Conference Jan. 9-12. The virtual event will comprise four technology tracks — Lasers, Optics, Test and Measurement, and Photonic...

Tune into this webinar to learn about optical ray tracing using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software. This presentation includes a live demo in the software. The demo shows how to create a fully...

Production-scale testing of silicon photonic devices continues to be a challenge due to the multi-degree-of freedom, high-precision optical alignments required for wafer- and die-level testing. Wide...

For spectroscopic applications, quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) provide coherent, polarized mid-IR radiation with spectral power densities in the 10- to 100-mW range. These properties are very...

A microchannel plate (MCP) is a specialized electron multiplier device used in various applications such as particle detection, imaging, spectroscopy, and night vision technology. It consists of a...

An event-based image sensor, also known as a dynamic vision sensor (DVS), is a type of digital imaging device designed to capture visual information in a highly efficient and unique way compared to...

Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of subwavelength-scale artificial structures, often referred to as meta-atoms or meta-elements, arranged in a specific pattern to manipulate the propagation of...

A microdisplay is a miniature electronic display technology that is designed to project visual information onto a small screen. Unlike traditional displays, microdisplays are typically very compact...

The new VirtualLab Fusion 2023 thrills with a firework of new features. In this webinar we give an overview of the new features and put them into context with the development strategy and technical...
