Liquid Light Guides are flexible, unbreakable, and very durable, and they have significantly better transmission, more homogeneous illumination, and a larger aperture than fiber bundles at lower costs! They are the perfect solutions for applications that demand uniform, high-intensity light. We offer four different series designed for diverse spectra ranging from ultraviolet to infrared and a broad selection of end fittings.

The 872 Series High-Resolution Laser Wavelength Meter is ideal for the frequency stabilization of lasers. Offering a frequency resolution as high as 200 kHz, the 872 Series provides exceptional sensitivity to wavelength deviations. With a built-in PID controller and 1 kHz sustained measurement rate, the 872 Series is well suited to precisely stabilize lasers used in applications such as atomic cooling and trapping.

Photonic technologies are at the core of the innovative solutions that reduce pollution and promote a more sustainable, cleaner environment. At Hamamatsu, we’re committed to advancing the technologies that help protect our environment, such as sensors for pollution detection, water purification with targeted contaminant removal, and waste management with better detection, sorting, and recycling. Enable a better world with us.

TRIOPTICS OptiCentric^® 101 IR for testing and assembly of infrared lenses in VIS, MWIR, and LWIR reaches an unrivaled centration measurement accuracy of <0.25 μm in the IR and <0.1 μm for VIS. The unique IR-compatible air gap and center thickness measurement completes the optomechanical characterization of the lenses. Intuitive and simple operation of all integrated measurement heads is ensured by the software OptiCentric^® 9.

Bullseye^® Apodizing Filters radially modify beam distribution in optical systems. Standard Gaussian or customized filters inserted in line with a light source reduce undesirable intensity variations. Configurations include both dark-in-the-center, typically used to reduce low-frequency variations or create top-hat wave fronts, and clear-in-the-center functions, typically used to reduce high-frequency variations outside of the main beam profile. ISO9001:2015, ITAR, Cybersecurity compliant.
