Camera Captures 3-D Images from 1 km Away Camera Captures 3-D Images from 1 km Away
A time-of-flight imaging system that uses a longer wavelength of light gathers high-resolution 3-D information from up to a kilometer away from objects typically very difficult to image. "This single-photon counting approach gives a unique trade-off between depth resolution, range, data-acquisition time and laser power levels," said Aongus McCarthy, a research fellow at Heriot-Watt University.

Master Bond - Clearly Superior Epoxies for Optical Applications Clearly Superior Epoxies for Optical Applications
Master Bond

As technology in the optics industry continues to advance and improve, careful consideration of the properties of epoxies must be evaluated. When determining the most effective adhesive to be used in opto-electronics, medical and other optic related industry applications, trade-offs of key characteristics should be assessed. Here is a guide to the different properties to consider, their benefits and potential disadvantages and advice on how to prioritize these factors for the success of the application.

Enabling Technology for Highly Aspheric or Free-Form Optics Manufacturing
Thursday, April 25, 2013 – 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT

Photonics Media will host Dr. Dae Wook Kim, Research Professor, Large Optics and Fabrication Testing Research Group, College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. Dr. Kim will discuss new approaches for advancing the computer-controlled optical surfacing process for manufacturing highly aspheric or free-form optics, such as the 8.4-meter-diameter Giant Magellan Telescope off-axis primary segment at the U of A. He will also present actual data demonstrating the performance of the enhanced process to build next-generation optical systems.
