Peak Power on the Rise
For solid-state lasers, more power, along with increasingly robust systems and a wider variety of wavelengths, mean new applications in cutting, welding, precision manufacturing, marking and elsewhere. Together with falling prices, such advances are putting lasers into new applications. On the horizon are solid-state lasers that enable high-resolution x-ray, neutron and electron imaging for nondestructive testing of turbine blades, engine parts and other components.

Shrinking FT-NIR Spectrometers Empower Consumers, Businesses
Chip-scale sensor integration has brought us to the edge of new market opportunities that are poised to transform business practices and consumer lifestyles. The ability to incorporate miniaturized sensors into small devices and broad networks means that actionable data can be collected anywhere, anytime. This new capability enables consumers and businesses to monitor goods, conditions and operations in real time and to make changes and adjustments on the fly to optimize safety, health, quality control and production, and even care for the environment.

Learn Efficient Luminaire Design Using Virtual Prototyping
Thu, Oct 12, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, attendees will learn how to design more efficient luminaires using Lambda Research's TracePro software, a 3D CAD virtual prototyping program with the power and tools to simulate and design luminaires. The webinar will cover how to design luminaires for maximum efficiency and specified angular output, how to use photorealistic rendering to make sure a luminaire works as designed, when to use diffusers to improve design output, how to create reports and check luminaire output for design regulations, and Tips and Tricks for creating better luminaires in less time.
