Camera Module Alignment & Assembly
From: TRIOPTICS GmbH
The TRIOPTICS ProCam® product group is a series of ultra-accurate active alignment and assembly systems for camera module production. It covers the entire production spectrum from incoming inspection of the single components to final testing of the assembled optical sensor systems from R&D phase to mass production. With this automated solution it is possible to maximize the optical performance of camera modules and increase the output at the same time.

Freeform Optic Characterization
From: Hinds Instruments Inc.
Freeform or non-planar optics often have alignment altering residual stress. Hinds’ next generation birefringence imaging system makes quantifiable results of stress available in seconds. The Midfield Imager’s software package supplies a retardance image with sub-millimeter spatial resolution and corresponding data with measurement resolution below 5 nm. Stop by our booth at Optics & Photonics to test the system.

IR Filters for Thermal Imaging and Gas Detection
From: Spectrogon US Inc.
Spectrogon manufactures infrared filters and windows with high-transmission, high-rejection outside the passband, while maintaining excellent coating uniformity — for thermal imaging and gas detection applications such as cryogenically cooled IR detectors and for uncooled microbolometers. Our filters and windows range in dimension from Ø6.0 to Ø200.0 mm with state-of-the-art dicing capabilities. Custom designs are always welcome.

Meridian® Focusing Target Projector (FTP)
From: Optikos Corporation
The Meridian® FTP is a compact target projector that can help measure the performance of small aperture cameras in both the Meridian® FLEX and Starfield systems, or serve as a standalone object generator in your custom test setup. Use FTPs as building blocks for camera testing at multiple conjugates, placing them where they are needed in the field of view. Thoughtfully designed to maintain bore sighting to the barrel as the image travels smoothly over the focus range, you can depend on the FTP to stay on target in your application.

High-Speed Polarization Modulation
From: Hinds Instruments Inc.
Hinds Instruments’ photoelastic modulators (PEMs) operate in the vacuum UV to mid-IR spectral regions at frequencies of 20 to 84 kHz. The PEM’s high-sensitivity (10-6), high-power handling capability and large apertures allow for polarization modulation in Astronomical Research, Remote Sensing, Materials Characterization and Research, Polarization Microscopy, and Pharmaceutical Research. Come by our booth and see what’s new!
