Excimers are pulsed gas lasers that deliver high output power and pulse energies in the ultraviolet and deep-ultraviolet wavelengths. This enables them to power applications that cannot be supported...

To Isaac Newton the problem was clear, and in 1704 he realized the effects of atmospheric turbulence on image formation. Just as heat waves shimmering above a hot patch of ground can distort our...

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...

An optical time-domain reflectometer sends short pulses of light into a fiber and measures its reflections as a function of time. The delay of these reflections to the detector as well as their...

Anti-reflective (AR) coatings are now entering their second century and have remained virtually unchanged throughout their life. As power level and wavelength range requirements continue to increase,...

Steve Allen provides a brief overview and examples of procedures that continue to push adoption and proliferation of optical fiber-based medical devices. From cosmetic surgery to cutting-edge sensing...

One subset of deep learning-based machine vision is unsupervised learning. In simple terms, the deep-learning module is trained on images that are defect free. The standard training method consists...

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy has become a powerful chemical imaging tool that shows significant promise in numerous biological and biomedical applications. In a typical SRS microscopy...

Optical manufacturing tools and machinery encompass a wide range of equipment, instruments, and systems used in the fabrication, shaping, finishing, and testing of optical components and systems....

An optical filter is a device that selectively transmits or blocks specific wavelengths, or colors, of light. Optical filters are used to control the spectral content of light in various...

Area scan, in the context of imaging and cameras, refers to a method of capturing an entire two-dimensional image in a single snapshot or exposure. Unlike line scan, which captures images one line at...

A molded lens is an optical lens manufactured using a molding process, typically involving the shaping of a material, such as glass or plastic, into the desired lens shape. This process involves...

Luminate NY, the only optics, photonics and imaging (OPI) accelerator and investment fund in the world, announced the final winners at the Light Tomorrow with Today event in Rochester, NY. For the...
