Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Optic and photonic products manufacturer Gooch and Housego announced today it has received a vendor appreciation award from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, Calif., in recognition of the high quality of its crystal quartz wave plates and customer service. The wave plates, supplied by Gooch & Housego UK in Ilminster, England, over the last four years, are key components of the laser preamplifier modules used in the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at LLNL. Gooch & Housego CEO Gareth Jones said, "It is a great honor to receive this award, and it is...Read full article

    crystal quartz
    The naturally occurring crystalline form of silicon dioxide. It is slightly birefringent and exhibits rotary dispersion of light rays transmitted along the crystal axis, both right-hand and left-hand forms being known. Quartz transmits light from about 1800 A to 4.5 µm in the infrared. It is very hard and takes a high polish, and has a low thermal expansion coefficient.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
