Imaging Technology, Experimentation Converge at SPIE BiOS
A host of researchers and industry experts will descend on SPIE BiOS 2020 in February to expound upon — and demonstrate — the ability of optical technologies to analyze, diagnose, and treat a multitude of medical conditions that clinicians grapple with every day. And while dermatology will be a component of this year’s conference, innovations within the biophotonics sphere have proven to be more than just skin deep, providing key insights into areas such as cardiology, head and neck surgery, and drug treatment with the aid of the latest equipment in microscopy, spectroscopy, lasers, and other imaging techniques.

785 nm ESP for Raman by Cobolt
From: HUBNER Photonics
HÜBNER Photonics proudly introduces the 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP (enhanced spectral purity) as part of the Cobolt 08-01 Series. The 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP complements the Cobolt 08-01 Series of compact high-performance single-frequency and narrow linewidth lasers for the high-resolution Raman market. The spectral purity of the 08-NLDM 785 nm ESP is >60 dB @ <0.5 nm away from the main peak. See the ESP @ BiOS 8229 @ PW 2249.

Circular Variable Filters
From: Delta Optical Thin Film A/S
Circular Variable Filters are interference narrow bandpass filters which are deposited on circular substrates. Film thickness, and therefore the wavelength of peak transmittance varies linearly and continuously with angular position on the segment. They are ideally suited as monochromators in compact, nondispersive spectrometers or with supercontinuum lasers, providing medium spectral resolution. They can be manufactured in any wavelength range from 400 nm up to 14.3 µm in the infrared.
