Request InfoJos. Schneider Optische Werke GmbH, Industrial SolutionsThe SWIRON 2.8/50 from Jos. Schneider Optische Werke GmbH is a high-performance lens with a 50-mm focal length and fitted with a C or V mount. Because it is extremely robust and insensitive to rough ambient conditions, the lens retains its high optical imaging performance in all situations. Standard features of all SWIRON lenses include secure locking of the iris and focus settings as well as the SWIR coating of 900 to 1700 nm. The lens is suitable for extremely high-resolution sensors with a pixel size of up to 12.4 µm and a 25.6-mm image circle. A special lacquer for the...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra August 2020 IssueThin FiltersDeveloped to be placed between the lens and sensor, 1-mm thin filters from Jos.

Each approach exhibits advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type of light detector and acquisition method employed.The term fluorescence is often applied as a synonym for photoluminescence, although luminescence actually covers fluorescence and phosphorescence. Both of these terms describe the process of...Photonics HandbookLaser Safety: Important Considerations: Laser safety is nothing to scoff at; lasers can be hazardous. Enter Class 1 laser products — lasers that are so safe that the user doesn’t require specific laser safety training or protective eyewear. Some precautions still exist, though.When purchasing an industrial laser system, the astute buyer will look for a Class 1 laser product — a system where the laser beam hazard is completely enclosed and there is no potential laser...Photonics HandbookIndustrial Lasers: An Introduction to Process Qualification: The step from successfully demonstrating a new laser process on a limited number of samples under laboratory conditions, to scaling that process up for high-volume industrial use is a big one. In particular, it’s necessary to determine how variations in process parameters affect end results, so that acceptable process input and operating ranges can be determined.Materials processing with lasers is actually a broad term for a diverse range of applications.
