Intel Unveils Eight-Wavelength DFB Laser Array
Intel Unveils Eight-Wavelength DFB Laser Array
Intel reported an eight-wavelength distributed feedback laser array fully integrated on a silicon wafer. The device delivers output power uniformity of +/- 0.25 dB and wavelength spacing uniformity of +/- 6.5%, exceeding industry specifications. The advancement will enable production of an optical source with the necessary performance for future high-volume applications in co-packaged optics and optical compute interconnect for network-intensive workloads.

Delta Optical Thin Film A/S - Optical Filters for Point of Care Optical Filters for Point of Care

Delta Optical Thin Film A/S
Point of Care (PoC) instruments have various uses in medical diagnostics, including the detection of infectious diseases such as Covid-19. These types of tests only require a single drop of blood, saliva, or urine and can be performed by a GP within minutes. Many tests require absorbance or fluorescence detection methods, which all demand optical filters. The optical filter is one of the most important components of a PoC instrument.

ams OSRAM GmbH - Vital Sign Monitoring with ams OSRAM Vital Sign Monitoring with ams OSRAM

ams OSRAM GmbH
ams OSRAM believes that LED and optical sensor technology can provide an essential building block to enable a healthier life. Our team works on more efficient LEDs, more sensitive photodiodes, and high performance AFEs (Analog Front End) to improve the signal quality to enable the user to detect biosignals like PPG, PTT, blood pressure, SpO2, and more. The devices should also consume less power so that wearables can measure more frequently...

Wavelength-Selective Optical Filters: Providing More Signal and Less Background to PCR Instruments Wavelength-Selective Optical Filters: Providing More Signal and Less Background to PCR Instruments
Thu, Jul 7, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Engineers creating polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instrumentation face unique challenges in both qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using end-point analysis and quantitative detection of nucleic acid sequences, using real-time analysis. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real time require a favorable signal-to-noise ratio, combined with high sensitivity. Jason Palidwar of Iridian Spectral Technologies shares the role photonics and optical filters play in qPCR instruments along with the challenges presented by their specification, design, and manufacture.
