High-Accuracy Wavelength Meters
From: Bristol Instruments Inc.
Bristol Instruments' wavelength meters are used by scientists and engineers who need to know the exact wavelength of their lasers. Systems are available for CW and pulsed lasers that operate at wavelengths from 375 nm to 12 µm. These systems use proven interferometer-based technology to measure absolute wavelength to an accuracy as high as ± 0.0001 nm and offer the fastest sustained measurement rate of 1 kHz.

New DLC TOPO
From: TOPTICA Photonics Inc.
The DLC TOPO builds on years of proven TOPTICA technology to deliver wide tunability, narrow linewidth, and convenient hands-free digital control over the 1.45 - 4.00µm spectral range. A wide mode-hop-free tuning range up to 300 GHz enables visibility of full spectroscopic signatures, while a 2MHz linewidth reveals narrow atomic and molecular features. Ease of use and high power make this CW OPO the right choice for challenging applications in IR spectroscopy and quantum optics.

Broadband Dark Mirror Coatings
From: Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
DSI dark mirrors are ideal for defining apertures in optical systems where control of stray light and elimination of crosstalk are critical, such as in high-performance, low-light imaging or display systems for military, satellite, security, and hyperspectral applications. DSI process capabilities deliver very broadband performance, and can produce precisely sized apertures ranging from circular to more complex geometries.

FGC-GA Array Geometry System
From: Arden Photonics Ltd.
A new measurement system for multifiber V-groove arrays provides production engineers and technicians with the most modern and efficient tool on the market. The FGC-GA uses transmitted light to measure the X and Y offset as well as core-core pitch over a 15mm range. Image stitching is then used to give the user a full image of every core to assess the full width of the array.
