Pacer to Distribute Optotune’s Lenses, Speckle Reducers

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
NEWBURY, England, March 27, 2012 — Optoelectronic components and assemblies supplier Pacer International has signed an agreement to distribute Zurich-based Optotune Inc.’s adaptive polymer-based optics, it announced recently.

Optotune’s components can significantly reduce the size and complexity of optical systems used in imaging, lighting and laser delivery applications, the Swiss company says. It has developed a range of fast, electrically or manually tunable optical devices with soft polymer-based materials to overcome the limits of hard glass and plastic components.

The variable-focus lenses and laser speckle reducers are suitable for machine vision, lighting, microscopy, laser projection and processing, and ophthalmology applications. Optotune’s Laser Speckle Reducer won a 2011 Prism Award for photonics innovation.

GLOSSARY
machine vision
Interpretation of an image of an object or scene through the use of optical noncontact sensing mechanisms for the purpose of obtaining information and/or controlling machines or processes.
ophthalmology
The branch of medicine involved in the study of the anatomy, functions, diseases and treatments of the eye.
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...
