Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI) - Uniform Coatings for Cylindrical Parts Uniform Coatings for Cylindrical Parts

Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
Obtaining uniform coatings on tubes and cylindrical parts is inherently challenging due to the line of sight nature of most thin film deposition processes, but can be accomplished in sputtering by utilizing innovative tooling techniques. Tubes and cylinders are used in a range of applications, including solar simulation...

PITTCON 2019
PITTCON 2019
March 17-21, 2019 - Pennsylvania Convention Center - Philadelphia United States
Photonics Media Booth: 2512
Pittcon is the world’s leading annual conference and exposition on laboratory science. It attracts attendees from industry, academia, and government from over 90 countries worldwide. Having grown beyond its roots in analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, Pittcon has evolved into an event that now also serves a diverse constituency encompassing life sciences, pharmaceutical discovery and QA, food safety, environmental, bioterrorism, and other emerging markets. Proceeds from Pittcon fund science education and outreach at all levels, from kindergarten through adult.

Emergence of Freeform Optics in Imaging Systems: A Leap Forward
Emergence of Freeform Optics in Imaging Systems: A Leap Forward
Wed, Feb 27, 2019 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
This webinar will provide an overview of freeform optics. Following a brief introduction, the presenter will discuss the historical context and applications for freeform optics. She will then present mathematical descriptions and the latest methods of optical design. As time allows, she will discuss some of the primary fabrication techniques and provide a short update on freeform metrology. This webinar is sponsored by Greenlight Optics and LightPath Technologies.
