Optics White Papers
Fast Axis Collimator Lenses (FACs) - The Essential Components for Laser Diodes
We started developing FACs more than 15 years ago. The result is highly automated in-house processes which allow for competitive prices – even with high volumes. Diode lasers are efficient, compact, and robust laser sources, but the output beams from diode lasers are divergent and must be shaped to optimize their optical quality. FISBA’s Fast Axis Collimator (FAC) Lenses are the solution for creating high-quality diode output beams. In this whitepaper, you’ll learn about: • FISBA’s wide...

Optical Coating - Surface Treatments
Optical Components must have different properties based on the application and interference effect they are intended for; the shape, surface quality, and coating determine the performance of the component.
The Most Common Optical Filters and Their Uses
Optical Filters are available in an array of choices and are employed for a wide and diverse range of applications. As a global supplier of stock and custom-made optics, Knight Optical runs through the most popular types and some of their typical...
Medical Optics from Shanghai Optics
Producing optics for medical devices has its own unique set of difficulties and challenges including cost, turnaround time, performance, and standards. This paper talks about those challenges and gives two examples of medical device applications.
Fused Silica for Applications in the Near Infrared (NIR)
For most IR applications in the wavelength range from 780 - 3600 nm synthetic fused silica is the material of choice. The optical performance is mostly influenced by the purity and the OH content of the material. Metallic impurities as well as...
High Performance Grating Result
New high performance ruling result.
Principles of Boxcar Averaging
In this white paper, we illustrate the working principle of a digital boxcar averager, elucidate the relevant measurement parameters, present the state of the art, and provide guidelines for the best choice of measurement technique when working with...

Characterizing the temperature-induced evolution of the shape and texture of a silicon wafer
Using Linkam’s precision temperature control chamber with Sensofar’s Linnik objective lens eliminates these problems and allows accurate measurement of 3D topographic profiles of nanoscale materials. S neox 3D optical profiler with a Linnik...
Surface Characterization of Tribological Coatings: Wear Properties, Thickness and Roughness
With the S mart 3D profilometer, it is possible to more precisely measure the volume loss of the wear tracks after the friction and wear tests, since it measures the real shape of the wear track. There are many parameters that are important to study...
New Telecentric Optics with Liquid Lenses Technology
Anyone familiar with telecentric optics knows very well that the depth of field can be a problem when using high-magnification lenses. Most of the time you either end up using oversized optics or having to move the object or the lens to compensate....
Advantages of Grisms
What is a grism? A grism is a compound optical element composed of a GRating and prISM(s). It is a dispersive element that permits an in-line optical layout by cleverly exploiting the differences between gratings and prisms.
