.: Upcoming Webinars   Getting Specific About Coating Specifications Wed, Apr 15, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT In this webinar, the technical team at North American Coating Laboratories (NACL) will provide a basis for specifying, testing, and confirming that your coating needs are clearly stated on drawings and are clearly conveyed to your coating solutions provider. To achieve this, the NACL team asks that you let them know what challenges you have faced or are facing currently with regard to specifying and testing optical coatings and meeting your coating requirements. You can do this when you complete the registration process. The NACL team will review all responses and prepare a presentation that is customized to the concerns of the registrants.  Register Now  Positioning Equipment for Automated Fiber Optics Device Manufacturing: Practical Ways to Solve Challenging Problems Wed, Apr 22, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT For fiber optics manufacturing, selecting and implementing the right positioning subsystem is critical for automated alignment, probing, and packaging equipment. This webinar, presented by Aerotech Inc., will explain how to optimize the performance of automated positioning systems in the most difficult fiber optics manufacturing processes. Attendees will learn how to achieve a positioning resolution that meets alignment tolerances, as well as how to achieve repeatability in high-volume manufacturing environments. Anyone using positioning equipment to solve fiber optics manufacturing challenges will benefit from attending.  Register Now  .: All Things Photonics   This week's episode of All Things Photonics features an interview with Dr. Adam Wax, an expert in early cancer detection, novel microscopy and interferometry techniques. Dr. Wax is a professor at Duke University in the department of Biomedical Engineering and founder and president of the company Lumedica. Listen Now   CALL FOR ARTICLES!
