Heat-Resistant Coating Enables Headlamp Design Flexibility
Apr 1, 1999 — Glass has traditionally been the material of choice for automobile headlamp cover lenses, but it poses severe limitations to design flexibility and creativity. While synthetic materials such as plastic would make cover lenses lighter and would allow a wider range of designs, its susceptibility to heat damage from a halogen light source presents a problem. Balzers' heat-resistant ITO coating opens the way to synthetic optics design flexibility. Docter Optics GmbH, an OEM supplier of lenses used...
UV Light Cleans up Shop
Apr 1, 1999 — Bacteria are not welcome on the metal machining lines at General Motors Corp. But that doesn't stop them from showing up in fluids used to remove metal shavings. To improve on the chemical agents used to control bacteria, GM will purchase a system...
Chemical Sensor Offers Sensitive Real-Time Solution
Feb 1, 1999 — A sensor developed at the Georgia Tech Research Institute could make detection of chemical contaminants highly portable and sensitive, and also enable in situ monitoring of a range of chemicals. It is a planar optical waveguide chip with 13...
New Coatings Break Reflectivity Barriers
Feb 1, 1999 — Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a class of dielectric coatings that can reflect a broad wavelength regime over a wide angular range. Professor John D. Joannopoulos and his colleagues discovered the reflective...
China May Be Building a Laser to Target US Satellites
Jan 1, 1999 — The Chinese government may be building a high-power laser with the ability to destroy US military satellites hovering over Asia, according to a recent article in The Los Angeles Times. The newspaper cited a declassified report from the US Department...
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...
Researchers Introduce Fluorescent Chemical Weapons Detector
Jan 1, 1999 — Chemists at the University of Maryland in College Park have developed a method for detecting lethal chemical weapons in a system that uses molecules that fluoresce in the presence of a small amount of phosphate esters. Many current detectors are...
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,...
Rocky Mountain Instruments Opens New Facility
Dec 1, 1998 — Rocky Mountain Instrument has opened a new, expanded, state-of-the-art facility designed to handle both mass-produced and one-of-a-kind optical requirements. The company's new clean areas, improved production flow and dedicated R&D chambers...
Integrating Sphere Tests Efficiency
Nov 1, 1998 — As building developers struggle to incorporate energy conservation into their designs, controlling heat and light fluxes through windows is crucial. As the "intelligent window" becomes more complex, so does the objective assessment of its overall...
Laser Unveils a 3-D Model of Chaos
Sep 1, 1998 — Does coffee taste different if you pour the cream into the cup first? Does the temperature of the cream influence the texture? These were the questions one recent technical conference attendee was exploring aloud during a midmorning coffee break....
Sandia Researchers Take Cue from Seashell Design
Sep 1, 1998 — Rarely do scientists mention seashells and optical coatings in the same sentence. That may soon change now that researchers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque have disclosed...
Silver Coating Maintains Reflectance
Sep 1, 1998 — Although the reflectors behind the xenon flashlamps that pump the Nd:glass amplifiers in the National Ignition Facility's 192 laser beams might seem at most a secondary concern, their reliability is important. Lawrence Livermore National...
Living Sensors Glow at Change
Aug 1, 1998 — Colonies of luminescent bacteria promise to become biological sensors capable of detecting a variety of parameters such as temperature, pressure or specific chemicals. The microbes, engineered at Britain's chemical and biological defense laboratory,...
Photodynamic Therapy:
Aug 1, 1998 — A relatively new technology called photodynamic therapy is revolutionizing the treatment of some types of cancer. In this treatment, a physician injects a patient with a photosensitive chemical. When activated by light, these chemicals combine with...
Photonics Shares in Environmental Advances
Jul 1, 1998 — Applications of photonics technology in research and development over the past decade have helped to create many technologies that will improve water safety, reduce wasted paper and make manufacturing and agriculture more environmentally friendly in...
Coating Method Makes Molecule-Thick Layers
Jun 1, 1998 — A method for dip coating a substrate with organic polymers may increase the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and computer displays while reducing costs and environmental hazards. The technique, being explored by a group of MIT researchers,...
Laser Texturing Slashes Cylinder Wear
Jun 1, 1998 — Laser texturing of engine cylinder walls may reduce oil consumption by 40 percent compared with traditional cylinder machining techniques, according to a manufacturer of engine honing equipment. Machine honing of engine cylinder walls gives them...
Spectra-Physics Wins $2.4 Million Contract for Optical Coatings
Jun 1, 1998 — Spectra-Physics has received a $2.4 million contract to develop optical coatings for the National Ignition Facility. The facility's laser system will require 8000 large optical components and 30,000 smaller ones. Spectra-Physics will manufacture the...
Fluorescence Spectroscopy Reveals Cell's Components
May 1, 1998 — A team of researchers at the University of Illinois has employed fluorescence spectroscopy to find and analyze compounds crucial to cell metabolism. Traditionally, scientists trying to detect compounds such as serotonin or tryptamine in animal cells...
Names in the News
May 1, 1998 — BrainTech Inc. received a contract to build and install a print-quality inspection system to improve and standardize the ink jet printer assembly process for Epson Portland Inc. Epson has the option to buy an additional 11 units to automate its...
Photodynamic Therapy Offers New Medical Treatments
May 1, 1998 — For years now, doctors have used ultraviolet lamps to treat psoriasis and to kill airborne tuberculosis bacteria, and lasers have made deep inroads as "bloodless scalpels." Recently, however, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a...
Software Eliminates Guess-Work from Coating Designs
May 1, 1998 — The possibility of having true global optimization for a large number of variables such as in multi-layer thin film design, has been debated for decades. A true global optimization algorithm works for a variety of different applications to find the...
Diode Lasers Pinpoint Pollutants
Apr 1, 1998 — Diode-lasers have experienced limited success as environmental monitors because polluting chemicals weakly absorb light at commercially available diode-laser wavelengths. Also, although diode lasers offer one of the fastest and most sensitive ways...
Eco-Optics:
Apr 1, 1998 — Since the 1980s, people have grown more aware of their surroundings, the impact of industry on the environment, and the environmentally redemptive qualities of advanced technology. Whether it's a UV lamp optimized to detect mercury and other...
