Request InfoDeposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI) has released its IsoSphere antireflection-coated ball lenses in a variety of glass indexes and in new, larger sizes. The transmission values are greater than 99.5 percent in indexes of up to nd 2.0 at 550 nm. Sizes range from 200 μm to 10 mm in diameter. Proprietary IsoDyn low-pressure chemical vapor deposition technology results in a uniform optical antireflection coating over the lens surface and eliminates the need for orientation of the lens in the user’s device. The lenses meet the abrasion, adhesion, humidity and salt fog tests of Mil-C-675...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaARTICLESPhotonics.com 6/29/2022Nonlinear Optical Sensor Avoids Precision/Speed Trade-OffAn optical measurement method devised by a team of AMOLF researchers aims to simplify and streamline the ability to capture measurements from signals that are barely larger than the noise contained...Photonics.com 6/13/2022SERS-Based Nanosensor Detects Pesticides on FruitResearchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden developed a nanosensor based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy or scattering (SERS).
