Taking the 'Hype' out of Hyperspectral Imaging

As the field of integrated photonics has transformed from one of theory into one of practice, rapid progress in materials science, device design, and manufacturing processes in the past two decades...

Lasers are currently used in many skin care applications, both medical and cosmetic. However, it is important to ensure proper handling and monitoring of the laser source to avoid damage to the skin...

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the developed world. Sudden cardiac death is triggered by the breakdown of a normal periodic heart rhythm, also known as the sinus rhythm. The emergence...

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...

Since its first successful operation in 1960 at Hughes Research Labs, the laser technology has been at the center of innovation and research. Semiconductor lasers first made their appearance in 1962...

The term fluorescence is often applied as a synonym for photoluminescence, although luminescence actually covers fluorescence and phosphorescence. Both of these terms describe the process of...

As bit rates increase to meet expanding demand, systems have become increasingly sensitive to polarization-related impairments. These include polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers,...

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...

With the pressure on design engineers to deliver smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective components, many are turning to micro injection molding for support. Micro-optics present greater...

Andrew Bodkin, founder of Bodkin Design & Engineering, shares a technical overview of the process of machine vision sensing based on his 30 years of experience in electro-optics, custom...
