Optics, Sensors & Detectors News
Detector & Camera Applications
Jan 1, 1997 — World travelers know that "getting there" is not always glamorous. They have stories of missed flights, jet-lagged meetings and worse. But now they can feel a little safer because of a device about the size of a pager. A relatively new cause of concern for government officials, airport personnel, border police and customs officers is the smuggling or illegal transport of nuclear materials. In an effort to help stop the movement of these materials, Santa Barbara Sensor Technologies of Santa...
Fiber Brings 'Live' Response from Ocean Floor
Jan 1, 1997 — TUCKERTON, N.J. -- In a scene that would make Jules Verne happy, scientists at Rutgers University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute have established the first permanent fiber optic link that allows live, two-way communication with...
Hughes to Build Redesigned Infrared Missiles for Navy
Jan 1, 1997 — The US Navy has awarded a $169 million contract for its new Sidewinder AIM-9X missiles to Hughes Missile Systems of Tucson, Ariz. Sidewinder missiles use infrared technology to seek out enemy aircraft by locking on to the heat signatures of their...
IR Imaging Arrays Turn to Quantum Wells
Jan 1, 1997 — A new semiconductor-based infrared detector technology for mid- and long-wavelength instruments is ready for the marketplace. The quantum-well infrared photodetector (QWIP) is based on absorption by confined carriers in multiple quantum wells. QWIPs...
Long-Period Gratings: Next Generation of Fiber Sensors
Jan 1, 1997 — Fiber optic sensors, thanks to their size, flexibility and survivability advantages, continue to gain popularity as effective alternatives to conventional transducers. Two types have emerged as leaders in meeting the changing needs of industrial...
Micro-Opto Electromechanics Could Revolutionize Photonic Systems
Jan 1, 1997 — Advances in micro-optics have led to the development of large-volume and batch-processed diffractive and refractive micro-optical components, creating a technology that promises to revolutionize many photonic systems. Similar to micro-optic...
Monroe Community College Receives CNC-Optics Systems from LOH
Jan 1, 1997 — Germantown, Wis.-based LOH Optical Machinery Inc. has lent a Spheronorm CNC-controlled precision optics system to Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., for educational purposes at the school's optical systems technology laboratory. The...
Optical Software Undergoing Dramatic Change
Jan 1, 1997 — Lens design software once was characterized by large, expensive and user-unfriendly programs running on large, expensive and painfully slow mainframe computers. Lens design was almost exclusively the domain of dedicated professionals in classical...
Raman Spectroscopy: Ready to Meet New Challenges
Jan 1, 1997 — Once the realm of a few theorists, Raman spectroscopy has surged in popularity during the last decade. Improvements in optics, lasers, detectors and data analysis techniques have turned this laboratory technique into an industrial tool used even in...
Replica Molding: Complex Optics at Lower Costs
Jan 1, 1997 — Researchers at Harvard’s Chemistry Department are exploring new ways of fabricating complex, optically functional surfaces, components and devices using elastomers as starting materials. Organic polymers in elastomeric molds show promise because...
Smart Lightpipe Designs Provide Cost-Effective Optics
Jan 1, 1997 — For a technology that doesn't get much respect, lightpipes are undergoing remarkably rapid applications growth. Lightpipes carry light from sources -- incandescent or fluorescent lamps or light-emitting diodes -- to illumination tasks. Applications...
A Rose Is a Rose, Is a Rose ...
Dec 1, 1996 — Or a blue, a purple or a yellow. Art directors and designers of brochures, advertisements and other printed material usually are very specific about which color they want for their art. If it has to be Coca-Cola red, a variation just won't...
Dense WDM Market Seen Topping $12-Billion Mark by 2005
Dec 1, 1996 — SAN MATEO, Calif. -- From an "introductory" level of $101 million last year, the global market for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) components is expected to hit $4.17 billion by 2000 and then grow to $12.1 billion by 2005. According...
Europeans Issue Report on Diffractive Optics Technology
Dec 1, 1996 — JENA, Germany -- The development of a step-by-step fabrication process for diffractive optical elements was announced in the final report of a European research alliance concerned with discoveries and applications in the field. The partnership,...
Laser Advances Spark Ultrafast Studies
Dec 1, 1996 — Advances in solid-state short-pulse laser oscillators, amplifiers and ultrafast optics have sparked an explosion in the number of studies of ultrafast phenomena. These experiments include direct control of chemical reactions, direct observations of...
Lockheed Wins $20 Million Photonic Sensor Pact
Dec 1, 1996 — The US Air Force has awarded a $20.2 million contract to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems for the development of its podded electro-optical sensor system. Under the contract, the company will design, build and support the Theater Airborne...
Molecular OptoElectronics Wins NSF Grant, Licensing Agreement
Dec 1, 1996 — Los Alamos National Laboratory has granted an exclusive licensing agreement to Molecular OptoElectronics Corp. of Watervliet, N.Y., to develop, manufacture and market the laboratory's electro-optic crystal mosaics for the generation of terahertz...
Objective Measurements Improve Imaging Optics
Dec 1, 1996 — Determining optical quality is no easy task because of the trade-offs in specifying imaging optics. For a quantitative assessment of optics, engineers turn to modulation transfer function measurements, which measure the frequency response of an...
Pentagon Awards Missile Defense Radar Contract to Lockheed Martin
Dec 1, 1996 — After a two-year bidding process, Lockheed Martin's Missile and Space Corp. in Sunnyvale, Calif., has won a $1.8 billion contract from the Pentagon to build a satellite system that warns against ballistic missile attack. Lockheed will construct five...
Sensor Company to Develop Image-Enhancement Processor for US Air Force
Dec 1, 1996 — Irvine Sensors Corp. of Costa Mesa, Calif., is developing an electronic image-enhancement processor for the US Air Force's Wright Laboratory Avionics Directorate. The processor will be part of an add-in board for the lab's 50-billion operations per...
Shattered Beamlet Lens Blamed on Timing Error
Dec 1, 1996 — LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A high-power experiment on Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Beamlet laser destroyed one of the setup's lenses and damaged another. No injuries were reported, but officials say that the September incident caused $70,000...
SpecTran Plans Expanded Facility for Optics Subsidiary
Dec 1, 1996 — SpecTran Corp. of Sturbridge, Mass., plans to increase its capacity to manufacture optical fibers, cable and related products at its Avon, Conn.-based subsidiary, SpecTran Specialty Optics Co. The $9 million project will involve new fiber draw...
