Photonics Design and Solutions: Digital Imager

How would one decide which potato to select out of a group? Most people have an intuitive sense that guides them when selecting a spud, for example, at the market or from the garden, but it becomes...

Visual inspections in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries help to ensure that medications, instruments, and packaged items arrive free of defects for end users. Whether such products are...

Ultrashort pulse lasers, such as femtosecond lasers, are becoming increasingly easy-to-use plug and play devices suitable for a wide range of industrial and biomedical applications. Fifteen years...

The Chinese economy was on a roller coaster in 2022 but evened out at the end to grow its gross domestic product by 3%, which is very slow growth by China’s standard. The bright side, however,...

Optics today needs alchemy, and the forces that motivate microchip technology are a key reason why. Today, light can transmit and process digital information as well as electricity can — in...

Camera resolution depends upon the optical blur diameter and the detector size. Schade combined these to create an equivalent resolution that is a function of Fλ/d where F is the focal ratio,...

The common polycrystalline materials used for optical thin-film materials do not satisfy the requirements of telecommunications because of the instabilities caused by moisture absorption in their...

Just as an electronic connector provides a pluggable connection between electronic circuits, a fiber optic connector provides an optical one. The goal is joining a fiber to a transmitter, receiver or...

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...

This presentation shines a spotlight on the transformative laser technology known as coherent beam combining (CBC). While this technology has been known for decades, it only recently has been...

The combination of picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations with the higher beam quality of modern ultrashort-pulse lasers enables production processes that have unrivaled precision. The multitude...

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...

The Atmospheric Correction Now software (ACORN) is a tool used in remote sensing and satellite imagery processing. Its primary function is to correct satellite imagery for atmospheric effects that...

Laser marking is a process in which a laser beam is used to mark or engrave a surface by altering its properties or appearance. This technique is widely used for labeling, identification, and...

Epitaxial equipment refers to a set of specialized tools and systems used in the process of epitaxy, which is the growth of crystalline layers on a substrate material. Epitaxial growth is a critical...

Backscatter refers to the phenomenon in which radiation or waves are scattered backward, opposite to the direction of the incident beam. This occurs when the incident radiation encounters a target or...

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...
