A Rice University research team, with help from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has directly measured the structural dynamics in 2D perovskites. The...

Measuring pulsed-beam lasers has generally required the use of a CCD array profiler. This is a reasonable solution for low-power lasers in the UV and visible wavelength range, but these require...

Intensity and uniformity can be described using different physical attributes, which makes interpreting requirements somewhat confusing. This article intends to provide an explanation and serve as a...

As system and cable installers try to optimize their links, the preferred method has become high-speed DWDM. This demand for bandwidth has led to the development of new test and measurement...

When evaluating the surface of a component, surface roughness can be assessed by eye or by rubbing it with a fingertip. Common expressions include “shiny,” “lusterless and...

Every positioner has some level of uncertainty in its position, some slight amount of movement that contributes noise to a measurement. The question is whether that uncertainty - also known as...

When it comes to infrared measurements, a lock-in amplifier paired with a pulsed light source is an essential tool to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for low light applications. This tech...

The massive production of plastics has led to a throw-away culture rendering plastic pollution one of the biggest environmental issues. One solution to prevent plastic pollution is improving waste...

The ultra-low noise and GHz repetition rate of the MENHIR-1550 optical frequency comb (OFC) series are important features for many applications such as high-speed telecommunication or photonics...

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,...

Industrial laser materials processing is constantly evolving. Industries as varied as pharmaceutical, consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and textiles, among others, have benefited from new...

Many applications have benefited from motorized varifocal lenses that allow automatic or remote adjustment of focus distance and field of view. Applications may need to change the focal length or...
