San Francisco: Where History Fuels Progression
Each year, the city of San Francisco welcomes the photonics community to the largest international conference and exhibition in the industry — Photonics West. The Moscone Center comes alive with the latest research and the newest products.
It’s an ideal place to host such an event, as this city by the bay is well known for its innovation and progressive culture. And it’s credited with a dot com surge that is now home to technology hubs including Twitter, Pinterest and Reddit. The future remains bright for San Francisco, but its rich history still shares the spotlight.

PixelCam Multispectral Cameras
From: Ocean Optics Inc.
PixelCam multispectral cameras provide imaging of 3-9 spectral bands at video rates. Simultaneous multi-channel “snapshot” acquisition delivers rich, real-time data without scene change or pixel shift. Dichroic filter arrays are integrated into the focal plane array at wafer level to extract spectral information at visible and infrared wavelengths. PixelCam can be integrated into handheld, mobile and aerial cameras – with the same frame rate, size and power consumption as monochrome cameras.

Spectrally Controlled Interferometry
From: Apre Instruments
Spectrally Controlled Interferometry (SCI) electronically controls the interferometer’s source coherence. Measure only the surface of interest without the confusing multiple-surface interference that prohibits measurement. Control the coherence for a fast setup in the “laser” mode; then isolate the surface you want to measure in the “white-light” mode; all the way down to 150 µm optical thickness. Contact us today, or visit www.apre-inst.com/sci for more information.
