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 microgage PRO Plus laser alignment system from Pinpoint Laser Systems operates with a laser transmitter, digital receiver, and smart display — with a precise laser beam to form a straight,...

The OSX-100E OEM Optical Switch from Santec is available in different sizes up to 80 channels with single-mode, multimode, polarization maintaining, or custom core sizes. It has a low loss of less...

The LUXEON HL4X from Lumileds is a high output LED for outdoor and industrial applications such as stadium lights, streetlights, high bay luminaires, torches, and rugged portable devices. The LED has...

Pump laser diodes from Coherent Corp. offer 65 W of output power with low operating current to support fiber lasers in industrial and consumer applications. The 65-W laser diodes are based on a...

In the beginning, automated inspection focused on the camera and optics, the algorithms, the interface hardware and the processor. Only rarely was attention paid to the lighting system or lighting...

Excimers are pulsed gas lasers that deliver high output power and pulse energies in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. This enables them to power applications that cannot be supported...

Imaging has long been used in industrial processes to measure, monitor, control, or otherwise manage the production of goods. The challenge to the process designer is to develop a tool that captures...

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...

This webinar, presented by OFS, will provide an overview of current in vivo medical procedures performed using lasers and optical fibers. The presentation will begin with a brief history of...

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...

While the concept of neuromorphic-enabled event cameras isn’t new, the last few years have seen a significant pick up in the adoption of this technology. This is due, in part, to the progress...

Presenters: Professor Stephen Boppart The Future of Healthcare With Optical Biomedical Imaging A medical doctor and professor at the University of Illinois, Boppart's...

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...

Liquid or fluid optics refers to the use of liquids to create or enhance optical systems. These systems leverage the unique properties of liquids, such as their ability to change shape, refractive...

Marking laser systems are advanced devices that use laser beams to create permanent marks, patterns, or engravings on various materials. These systems are widely employed in industrial, commercial,...

An optical filter is a device that selectively transmits or blocks specific wavelengths, or colors, of light. Optical filters are used to control the spectral content of light in various...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we give you an in-depth look at the relationship between researchers and scientists at the University of California Davis, and surgeons and clinicians at nearby...

On this month's episode of Light Matters, we introduce you to a green energy company that is transforming China's national treasure — the giant panda — into panda-shaped solar farms. We also bring...

Luminate NY, the only optics, photonics and imaging (OPI) accelerator and investment fund in the world, announced the final winners at the Light Tomorrow with Today event in Rochester, NY. For the...

On this month's episode of Light Matters, we take you to the South by Southwest (SXSW) Trade Show in Austin, Texas, as new photonics innovations hit the show floor of the Austin Convention Center....
