IR Sensor Calibration: When Extreme Uniformity Is Not Boring Extended area blackbodies are now commonly used as reference sources for IR cameras, simultaneously calibrated. The uniformity of the reference blackbody is therefore essential. A newly developed specific bench measures IR source uniformity with a high accuracy.
Advanced Inspection Technology: Evolving Clean Energy The development of clean energy is moving forward globally at an increasing pace. Making clean energy more efficient is critical to its adoption — and this is where large-volume precision...
Life in the Ultrafast Lane with Fiber Lasers For lasers, shorter pulses mean more precision and new applications. That’s been true for decades. What’s changed in the last few years is that prices for lasers with pulse widths a...
EDITORIAL
Solar Takes Flight Nelson Mandela once said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” These words ring true for Solar Impulse, a program “born in Switzerland” that aims to demonstrate the power of clean technologies — sometimes in dramatic fashion. The program’s Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) aircraft runs exclusively on solar power, thanks to 17,000+ solar cells built into the...

Solar Flight Proves the Power of Clean Energy Technologies The eagle has landed. And the “eagle” in this case is a solar-powered airplane. The Solar Impulse 2 (Si2) — part of Solar Impulse, a program that aims to demonstrate and promote the power of clean technologies — touched down in Mountain View, Calif., on April 24, and just in time for Earth Day weekend. It was the final stage of a pioneering flight that began in early March...
