Researchers at Hefei University of Technology have demonstrated the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to automatically identify, classify, and subclassify recyclable waste in real...

Operating a chain saw poses an inherent risk that even the most experienced user is aware of and accepts. But what if the tool were a laser-based rust remover? These hand-held systems can have...

Perovskite technology developer Caelux closed a $12 million series A3 funding round. The company’s series A total of $24 million will be allocated to support its factory ramp, R&D, and...

The GP-CVM600P series of 600-W LED constant voltage drivers from GlacialPower include nondimming, 3-in-1, and DALI-2 dimming versions. The direct-current output voltages include 12, 24, 36, 48,...

Marktech Optoelectronics’ line of point source LEDs has expanded to include high sharpness green LEDs and additional red LEDs for reflex sights, riflescopes, sports optics, camera viewfinders,...

The MERLIC 5.4 machine vision software from MVTec Software GmbH is suited for machine vision beginners interested in creating and solving complete machine vision applications. Version 5.4 of the...

The EVK HD 4 Event-based Vision Evaluation Kit from Prophesee is based on the Sony IMX636ES high-definition sensor. The platform provides computer vision engineers with a tested solution for...

That portion of the spectrum that the eye can see — and its rainbow of colors — is rather small, covering approximately 360 to 830 nm. What colors we perceive depends on wavelength, while...

Imaging has long been used in industrial processes to measure, monitor, control, or otherwise manage the production of goods. The challenge to the process designer is to develop a tool that captures...

Infrared system design is not, like some circuit design, a synthetic process. One cannot start by stating the problem and proceeding in an orderly fashion to a final solution. Rather, we guess a...

Reflected-ultraviolet imaging is a rather mysterious area of the imaging field. There is relatively little actual UV imagery to be found on the Internet or in the literature compared to near-infrared...

LASER COMPONENTS brings together some of the brightest minds in the industry for a one-hour workshop. Doctoral students from MIT, Princeton University, and Stanford University share how they are...

Multiphoton excitation and nonlinear imaging microscopy are being used increasingly in biomedical research for high-resolution live-cell imaging. However, traditional single photon techniques have a...

The advantages of reactive magnetron sputtering are its excellent layering properties, the comparatively short deposition times, and its scalability to large substrate sizes. In this webinar, you...

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...

An accelerometer is a sensor or transducer that measures the rate of change of velocity of an object, or in simpler terms, it measures acceleration. Accelerometers are widely used in various...

Embedded vision refers to the integration of computer vision technologies into various embedded systems, devices, or machines. Computer vision involves teaching machines to interpret and understand...

Laser texturing is a manufacturing process that involves using a laser beam to selectively modify the surface of a material, creating textures, patterns, or microstructures. This technique is...

Micro-optics refers to the design, fabrication, and application of optical components and systems at a microscale level. These components are miniaturized optical elements that manipulate light at a...

In this month's Light Matters Extra, we give you an in-depth look at the relationship between researchers and scientists at the University of California Davis, and surgeons and clinicians at nearby...
