Photonics Design and Solutions: Digital Imager

When Theodore (Ted) Maiman described the laser as a solution seeking a problem, beam shaping was not a big deal. A lens or two were enough to project the beam profile onto a screen. The main...

Vision-guided robotics (VGR) is one of the largest-growing sectors in both the robotics and machine vision markets. While industrial robots are used in a variety of industries, the ability to guide a...

Alan Eddy is a machine vision specialist at Tensor ID, a system integrator that develops solutions to difficult manufacturing problems. The company has devised ways to overcome challenges for large...

Aptamer-based diagnostics is a new field in the development of technologies for instantly identifying disease. Aptamers are short sequences (oligonucleotides) of DNA or RNA that bind to a specific...

Flat optics generally perform three main functions: They transmit light (windows), reflect light (mirrors), and fold light (prisms). While most optical manufacturers make spherical and flat optics, a...

Charged-injection device imagers are metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) detectors that can be fabricated using PMOS, NMOS and CMOS integrated circuit technology, and may be configured as a...

Applications facilitated by tunable lasers fall into two categories: situations in which one or more discrete wavelengths are not available from any single- or multiline fixed-wavelength laser, or...

Many common spectroscopic measurements require the coordinated operation of a detection instrument and light source, as well as data acquisition and processing. Integration of individual components...

Optical manufacturing has become increasingly challenging as specifications tighten for wavefronts, form, slopes, and mid-spatial frequency features. Interferometers are essential tools to control...

Flexible displays are here and are being exploited by companies like Samsung, Motorola (Lenovo), Xiaomi, LG, and (by Q4 2017) Apple. These displays, which are lightweight, thin, curved at the edges...

Photonics instrument development teams are facing increasing pressures to commercialize faster with fewer staff. Accelerated timelines require teams to focus on their core competency and look for...

A fiber optic imaging bundle is a specialized optical device composed of multiple optical fibers bundled together. Each fiber optic strand within the bundle acts as a conduit for transmitting light....

Also called DLIP, a high-speed, high-resolution processing technique that uses high-power, pulsed laser systems to directly ablate micro- and nanoperiodic structures with different features on large...

Time-lapse optical coherence tomography (OCT) refers to a medical imaging technique that captures a series of sequential OCT scans over time, allowing for the dynamic observation and monitoring of...

Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have properties not found in naturally occurring substances. These materials are designed to manipulate electromagnetic waves in ways that are not...

The new VirtualLab Fusion 2023 thrills with a firework of new features. In this webinar we give an overview of the new features and put them into context with the development strategy and technical...
