Reflective Optics for Multispectral EO Systems
Wed, Aug 28, 2024 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EDT
Large reflective optics are essential for high-performance multispectral electro-optics imaging systems in defense, surveillance, and aerospace. These systems capture multiple wavelengths to improve target identification and combine data from various bands to offer a comprehensive environmental view, enhancing situational awareness. They excel in adverse conditions by penetrating haze, smoke, and challenging weather better than visible light, and they provide high-resolution imaging for detailed analysis and accurate decision-making. Utilizing advanced data fusion, these systems enhance target recognition and tracking, adapt to various mission requirements from surveillance to disaster response, and reduce operational costs by minimizing the number of necessary maneuvers. Join MKS Ophir for an insightful webinar on the latest advancements in reflective optics for multispectral systems. Presented by MKS Ophir IR Optics.

How to Improve Laser Applications Using Freeform Optics
Wed, Sep 4, 2024 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
This presentation provides a landscape of the freeform concept, design, product, and module solutions that are available for managers and designers of laser systems and applications that must deliver a performance enhancement that is difficult to obtain with conventional optics. Freeform optics are an elegant solution for beam shaping and aberration correction and allow optimization of laser applications. However, freeform optics are often regarded as difficult to design, difficult to incorporate into optical systems, expensive to make, and limited in optical performance. As a result, they occupy a small niche in the photonics industry. This webinar shows that there are easy, cost-effective ways to design, manufacture, and integrate solutions for high-grade, high-performance, fused silica freeform optics to enhance laser systems and applications. Kidd shares examples of some of the most prevalent and important laser applications to show the technical and financial impact of using freeform optics solutions. These include coherent beam combing for laser-induced fusion and other directed energy applications as well as blue laser beam shaping for the welding of lithium-ion batteries and other electric vehicle components. Presented by PowerPhotonic.
