These articles will provide the tools optics designers need to tailor their designs to the appropriate manufacturing process and to optimize the cost of component fabrication.Aspheric surfaces are powerful tools that combine the optical corrections of multiple lenses into a single element (Figure 1) and affect performance in ways that spherical optics cannot. For example,...Photonics HandbookPlastic Optics: Specifying Injection-Molded Polymer Optics: The versatility of polymer optics opens new doors for optical designers who understand the whys and hows of specifications.The use of precision polymer optics is becoming an increasing necessity today as products demand sophisticated light handling components to achieve desired results. Polymer optics can be thought of...Photonics HandbookExcimer Optics: High Power Demands High Reliability: The excimer laser’s shift to commercial applications has created a demand for higher power levels and increased reliability from the laser itself, thus creating a greater demand for industrialized optics to control, redirect, reshape and focus the intense UV radiation produced.The first high-reflectance mirror coatings for the UV and vacuum UV (VUV) were of the Al + MgF2 type produced in the late 1950s. Coatings of this design are still used today for multigas cavity...Photonics HandbookThin-Film Coatings: A Buyers' Guide: The vast majority of optics used in precision scientific, industrial, biomedical, and military applications incorporate thin-film coatings on their surfaces. Therefore, it’s useful for almost anyone involved in the specification and purchase of optical components to have some familiarity with the typical performance characteristics, trade-offs and limitations of various coating types, as well as some knowledge of the capabilities of common thin-film production technologies. This article provides an objective overview of both these topics.What are thin-film coatings? The purpose of any optical thin-film coating is to modify the transmittance and reflectance properties of the substrate material to which they are applied. Most coatings...WHITEPAPERSPhotonics.com 1/14/2021Fractional Pixel Method for Improved Pixel-Level Measurement and Correction (Demura) of High-Resolution DisplaysAs display resolutions increase, imaging systems are challenged to continue to provide accurate pixel-level measurements while applying increasingly limited relative imaging resolution during...Photonics.com 1/14/2021Five Signs that a Photometry-Based Imaging System is the Right Choice for Your Inspection ApplicationPhotometric imaging solutions bridge the gap between machine vision systems and true human vision, offering consistent, quantifiable data for automated processes that matches the visual acuity of...Photonics.com 6/11/2019The Fast Lane to Embedded VisionSensor Modules are small imaging solutions used to easily integrate customized vision technologies into machines and devices that allow them to see.
