San Francisco in Lights
The Moscone Center in San Francisco is the place to be this month, when Photonics West comes to town. But this isn’t the only exciting place to be in the city by the bay. In this issue of Sneak Preview — Photonics West Edition #2 — Photonics Media Senior Editor Justine Murphy looks at some other unique things happening around San Francisco, namely in the arts community.
The Embarcadero district in particular is bringing art to light (literally) with the Flaming Lotus Girls’ Soma art installation, and Illuminate’s Bay Lights display (created by world-renowned artist Leo Villareal) across the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

Highly Efficient Lens Alignment
From: TRIOPTICS GMBH
MultiCentric® Cementing is the ultimate solution for the automated lens alignment and cementing process of doublets/triplets. It boosts the productivity by reducing the cycle time and by significantly increasing the yield of your doublet production. The lenses are either aligned on an arbor with the arbor axis as reference or aligned to each other with the optical axis of the lower lens as reference axis.

Polarimetry Experts
From: HINDS INSTRUMENTS, INC.
The measurement of polarization properties has been Hinds Instruments’ specialty for over 40 years. Our Stokes polarimeters measure the state and degree of polarization for light over a broad range of wavelengths. Systems range from entry level to research grade. In addition, a 4-PEM Mueller Matrix Polarimeter was recently introduced which measures all 16 matrix elements, fully characterizing the polarization parameters of any transparent sample.
