Benefits of Client-Server Systems for Quality Control with Vis-NIR Spectroscopy
Analyzer systems monitoring product quality can offer substantial advantages when organized in a client-server network compared to the more traditional local installation. This white paper presents different client-server setups and their benefits. Security aspects that need to be considered are discussed based on the example of the client-server Vis-NIR (visible near-infrared) spectroscopy software Vision Air, widely used for quality control in the chemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, and...
Solutions for Fiber Optic Applications
High temperature polymer coating and sheathing products protect and support the latest fiber optic technology.
How Much Will an Optical Filter Cost?
Filters are a critical element in the design of most optical systems. However, optimizing the trade-off between cost and performance isn’t obvious. With nearly a half century of experience in the business, Andover Corporation has a few tips to help...
Lean Manufacturing of Polyurethane, Assisted by Near-Infrared (NIR) and Raman Spectroscopy
Chemical manufacturing such as polyurethane production is characterized by a cost intensive production process combined with a negative ecological impact. These adverse effects can be significantly improved by using vibrational spectroscopy. This...
7 Steps to Choosing the Correct Optical Mirror or Window
In addition to a good understanding of your application, carefully defining your requirements can save manufacturing time, which translates to reduced costs. In this paper, learn the important factors to consider when designing the ideal optic for...
Solving 5 Big Thin-Film Deposition Challenges Facing Contract Coaters
The contract thin-film coating industry is poised for growth, with many target markets expected to see substantial gains over the next five to ten years. Contract coaters need to align their production platforms to take advantage of these lucrative...
How to Design a Detector Noise Limited Instrument with PbSe Detectors
Pyrometers, NDIR gas analyzers, and flame monitoring systems, often make use of MWIR photoconductive PbSe detectors. Particularly, when high sensitivity and quick response time at an affordable cost are required. In order to achieve the optimal...
High Power, High LIDT Laser Optics - Understanding Optics for-High Power Lasers
Catalog optics are fine for many laser applications but high power lasers require specified damage optical characteristics. The whitepaper explores power resilience of laser optics, working with test laboratories, ISO testing, measuring LIDT, LIDT...
A New Spectral Analysis System Designed to Measure High-Performance Thin-Film Optical Filters
The HELIX Spectral Analysis System was designed to address the limitations of most commercially available spectrophotometers when measuring high-performance thin-film optical filters. The system’s capabilities are four-fold: it is able to track...
Autonomous automobiles don’t operate underwater, however…
Autonomous vehicles use an assortment of sensors and imagers including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Whether it’s scanning system, solid state, or flash these systems need to be calibrated for sensitivity over a dynamic range of light...
Analysis of Small Samples Using the LUMOS Stand-alone FTIR Microscope
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopy is a well-established method for the analysis of samples that are too small or complex to be measured in a standard infrared spectrometer. The new LUMOS Stand-alone FTIR microscope offers a fully...
Optical Components for SWIR Imaging
Precision Glass & Optics discusses the challenges of designing optical coatings for shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging. Also discussed are the many advantages that SWIR imaging devices provide.
Particle Analysis by Raman Microscopy
There are many occasions where analyzing unknown particles can be important. Examples include illicit drug analysis, particulate adhesions occurring in a recycling process, electronics manufacturing, particles in liquid biomedical products, and many...
Optimax OTR Coatings
Optimax has developed a novel optical coating (OTR) that protects optical surfaces in even the most extreme environmental use conditions. OTR coatings have been demonstrated to provide excellent resistance to latent scratching, staining and dimming...
Precision Infrared Narrow Bandpass and Dual Bandpass Filters Featuring Low OH-Band Absorption
Alluxa’s new class of Infrared (IR) bandpass and dual band filters bring the precision of dielectric filters to the IR between 2 and 5 microns. They are manufactured with an advanced, plasma enhanced PVD process using durable, hard metal-oxide, and...
Thin-Film Optical Components for Use in Non-Linear Optical Systems
Some of the greatest recent advances seen in bio-imaging and detection are due to techniques that utilize non-linear optical (NLO) phenomena. These techniques have led to a Nobel prize, super-resolution images, label-free visualization of naturally...
Ultra-Narrowband Optical Bandpass Filters with Large Format and Improved Temperature Stability
Hard coated ultra-narrowband optical filters made using modern plasma processes offer much improved transmission, temperature stability and out of band blocking as compared to legacy soft coatings. These filters are used in optical systems as...
UV Curing of Fiber Optic Coating
Current optical fiber manufacturing processes use UV lamp systems for curing protective coatings to the glass fiber. These systems suffer from low efficiency, high maintenance costs and environmental concerns. UV LED curing systems provide a...
High Volume Optical Component Testing Using an Agilent Cary 7000 Universal Measurement Spectrophotometer (UMS) with Solids Autosampler
In this study, we demonstrate increased productivity and reduced cost-per-analysis with automated, unattended multi-angle R/T analysis for multiple samples of uncoated fused silica using an Agilent Cary 7000 UMS fitted with an Agilent Solids...
