Photonics Spectra Webinars

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. Stephen Kidd...

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are a rapidly growing technology due to the unquenchable demand for high bandwidth communications in the data center. As the industry grows, new applications are being established to leverage the capabilities and advantages that PICs provide, and a robust design...

In this webinar, Andrew Bodkin shares insights into developing imaging systems that both experienced engineers and novice developers will find valuable. Over his lifelong career working with cameras, Bodkin has developed an intuitive understanding of how the elements of imaging systems interact. He...

Peter Kunert of MKS Ophir IR Optics explores the advantages of SWIR lenses and how they play a pivotal role in air, land, and maritime imaging, offering unparalleled visibility even in challenging conditions, such as haze, smoke, and fog. Incorporating SWIR and NIR into electro-optical (EO) systems...

The technical data sheet, the most basic form of communication about lens specification in the industry, should provide an objective and uniform key to helping buyers understand the tolerances surrounding the key optical parameters that are provided about a lens. It is important for buyers to...

With the explosive growth of applications such as AI and high-performance computing, modern data centers must find ways to support an exponentially rising demand for transferring massive amounts of data. Various cutting-edge technologies are key to keeping pace with this demand, and none is more...

Distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes are single-frequency laser sources that can be produced in volume at a low cost. They represent compact and reliable laser technology and are widely used in telecom and sensing applications. They can be modulated in frequency by tiny modulation of their bias...

When imaging the living human eye, even if a person has perfect vision, blur caused by ocular aberrations of the eye limits resolution. This blur rapidly fluctuates due to a number of factors, such as the impact of the heartbeat. Consequently, it is not possible using conventional methods, such as...
