Photonics Commercialization Efforts Stall at the Border
Jan 1, 1999 — As photonics manufacturers transfer their once-military technologies into global industrial and medical markets, they face a bevy of sometimes confusing -- and potentially expensive -- export restrictions. In the days of Cold War tensions, the border between East and West was cloaked with spy-novel intrigue, and exporting was a black-and-white matter. For photonics manufacturers, seeking an export license was a predictable, if onerous, part of doing business abroad. Today export controls on...
Calibration Technology:
Jan 1, 1999 — The decreases in channel spacing for dense wavelength division multiplexing telecommunications systems is driving advances in calibration and measurement technology because current technologies often come up short when faced with measuring the high...
IEEE-1394 Hooks Cameras Straight to PCs
Jan 1, 1999 — 1999 will be the breakthrough year for IEEE-1394 as recently introduced products find applications across a wide variety of imaging environments. IEEE-1394 provides a universal solution for connecting computer processors, peripherals and other...
Optical Coatings with Amorphous Character Enable New Products
Jan 1, 1999 — Can the optical coatings industry keep pace with the designer's continual need for better coatings? The answer, so far, is still yes. Many optical products that have entered the market in the past few years are possible only because of recent...
Diode-Pumped Solid-State Lasers Continue Expansion into Industrial Applications
Jan 1, 1999 — Technological development has created distinct market segments for flashlamp-pumped, laser diode end-pumped and laser diode side-pumped solid-state lasers. We foresee continued growth in all these product areas, as long as end users clearly...
F2 Lasers:
Jan 1, 1999 — Excimer lasers working at 308, 248 and 193Ynm are well-established tools for high-precision micromachining. However, some new applications are demanding even higher resolution or higher photon energies. One solution that keeps them in the optical...
Optical Fiber Meets the Growing Telecommunications Demand
Jan 1, 1999 — The public's voracious appetite for email and the Internet is fueling an explosion in the demand for information capacity over the backbone optical transmission network. Data traffic that 10 years ago was approximately 5 percent of total bandwidth...
Thin-Film Coating Applications Heat Up
Jan 1, 1999 — Optical coatings are one means of controlling heat in lighting applications such as film projectors and microscope illumination systems. Unfortunately, suppliers of multilayer dielectric coatings have primarily emphasized spectral performance,...
Tunable Filters Move to the Mainstream
Jan 1, 1999 — Our society feeds on ever increasing volumes of data and on the compact, cogent presentation of this information, usually in the form of still or video images. Tunable filters are increasingly viable candidates for use in the collection,...
Telecommunications Needs Drive Laser Improvements
Jan 1, 1999 — This year, dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) systems will expand from typical networks of 16 2.5-Gb/s channels to those with 80 or more 2.5-Gb/s channels, or up 40 10-Gb/s channels. This expansion will drive an increase in laser power for...
Innovations in Optical Scanning Probe Microscopy
Jan 1, 1999 — The combination of optical and scanning probe microscopy offered by near-field scanning optical microscopes allows researchers to image the light response from small optically active surfaces such as gallium nitride structures, quantum dots, laser...
Integrated Micro-optics and Digital Optics Answer Telecom Demands
Jan 1, 1999 — The telecommunications revolution is dramatically impacting the entire photonics industry. The need for higher bandwidth is requiring entirely new categories of photonic devices ranging from wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices to optical...
Image Quality:
Jan 1, 1999 — An overwhelming majority of image quality discussions center on resolution. The term "resolution" has been in use so long that it is thought to be something fundamental that uniquely determines system performance. Subconsciously, we think that a...
Sapphire Optical Fibers:
Jan 1, 1999 — Improvements in sapphire optical fiber has aided the expansion of the Er:YAG laser in medical applications, such as dentistry. The fiber's rugged characteristics, such as its high melting point, also make it useful for sensor applications in hostile...
Smart Cameras Keep Their Brains on One Chip
Jan 1, 1999 — Just as human eyes capture images and the brain recognizes and processes the information, a camera and computer system together can provide artificial intelligence. The latest developments have opened up the potential of significant progress towards...
Tunable Diode Lasers Stand Up to Research and Commercial Applications
Jan 1, 1999 — Tunable external-cavity diode lasers have become more reliable since their introduction five years ago. Now, more demanding telecommunications, spectroscopy and metrology applications are driving improvements in specifications for the next...
Coreco Purchases Dipix Technologies
Jan 1, 1999 — Coreco Inc. in St. Laurent, Quebec, Canada, has inked an agreement to buy the imaging board business of Dipix Technologies Inc. in Ottawa. Philip Colet, director of sales and marketing at Coreco, said the purchase provides access to applications...
FDA Clears Laser for Diabetes Monitoring
Jan 1, 1999 — There's good news for diabetics who draw blood to monitor their glucose levels. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Lasette, a battery-operated Er:YAG laser that can extract blood without the pain associated with metal...
Flir to Acquire Inframetrics
Jan 1, 1999 — Flir Systems Inc. in Portland, Ore., has signed an agreement to acquire Inframetrics Inc., a privately held infrared imaging company in Billerica, Mass. The deal will involve an exchange of stock. The planned acquisition could strengthen Flir's...
Applied Image Group Merges with Donnelly Optics
Jan 1, 1999 — The Applied Image Group Inc. in Rochester, N.Y., has acquired one of Donnelly Corp.'s subsidiaries, Donnelly Optics Corp., based in Tucson, Ariz. The two companies agreed to the merger Dec. 1, with the deal expected to close this month. Applied...
Uniphase Acquires Telecom Equipment Maker
Jan 1, 1999 — In its latest move to strengthen its position in the telecommunications market, Uniphase Corp. of San Jose, Calif., acquired Broadband Communications Products Inc. The Melbourne, Fla.-based company develops and manufactures high-performance fiber...
Calibrated AFM Offers High Accuracy, Repeatability
Jan 1, 1999 — Atomic force microscopes (AFM) have come a long way since they were developed in the mid-1980s, with advances bringing more repeatability and stability. Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are taking the technology...
