Robot-Assisted Lens Alignment
From: TRIOPTICS GmbH
For many years, TRIOPTICS has automated operations in the production of lens systems concerning measurement and alignment with the well-established OptiCentric® 100. Now, this system can be expanded to include automated loading and unloading by means of robots. This allows the fabrication of complete batches independent of the operator and increases the efficiency of the machine as well as process reliability. For a demonstration at Photonics West visit booth #1459!

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.
