New High Temperature Resistant Epoxy Adhesive, Sealant & Encapsulant Available From Master Bond Inc.

An optical measurement method devised by a team of AMOLF researchers aims to simplify and streamline the ability to capture measurements from signals that are barely larger than the noise contained...

Researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University have devised a potential solution for the self-transport of gas underwater using a femtosecond laser. The team created a superhydrophobic surface with a...

A team led by professor Yadong Yin at the University of California, Riverside formulated a light-sensitive coating material for rewritable light-printing. The material is made from doped titanium...

Far above an oil pipeline, a drone bobs and weaves. The drone, dispatched by Denver, Colorado-based Project Canary, is collecting high-resolution imaging data of the site, while also scanning for any...

Single-crystal sapphire has been the material of choice for defense and other applications that require extremely durable optics, but aluminum oxynitride (ALON) and magnesium aluminate (spinel) have...

What are thin-film coatings? The purpose of any optical thin-film coating is to modify the transmittance and reflectance properties of the substrate material to which they are applied. Most coatings...

The optical materials selected for an optical system depend upon the application, the required system performance and the environment in which the system is to perform; thus the materials’...

FREE WEBINAR Additional Questions and Answers from the Webinar are below: Speakers to include: David J. Brady, Duke University Computational and Compressive Raman Spectroscopy ...

Light can be used to understand, study, and spectroscopically characterize the many components that may exist in water. Stephanie Butron and Eric Mesa of Hamamatsu Corp. discuss the various markets...

Non-destructive, portable, and extremely discriminating in its analysis -- Raman spectroscopy has established itself as a powerful tool in the identification and quantification of chemicals in...

The optical performance of optical coatings is only half of the picture. A coating that is perfectly manufactured to meet its optical specifications is useless unless it also meets the application's...

The determination of what, how much and in what proportions chemicals must be combined to produce the desired reactions and products.

In chemistry, a halide refers to a chemical compound containing one or more halogen atoms bonded to another element. The halogens are a group of elements in the periodic table that includes fluorine...

The process, used with a positive photoresist, in which the photoresist is immersed in developing chemicals while being exposed to the optical pattern. The newly exposed surface is continuously...

Phototoxicity refers to the harmful effects caused by exposure to light, particularly intense or ultraviolet (UV) light, on living cells or organisms. This phenomenon is often associated with the...

Video definition of dispersion presented by Dr. Gerard Wysocki, Princeton University.

A laser dye is a class of organic dyes that emit coherent radiation over a wide spectral range.

“Name the application, we have solutions,” is more than a slogan. It’s what keeps Universal Photonics a world-leader in critical surface preparation material, processing machinery...
