Design Optimization & Sensitivity Analysis of Photonic Integrated Circuits
This paper covers the use of design and simulation software in the development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Using the workflow put forward in this paper, users can analyze their PIC layout in 3D to calculate scattering parameters and characterize the effect of manufacturing tolerances on PIC performance in order to optimize the fabrication yield.
Solving 5 Big Thin-Film Deposition Challenges Facing Contract Coaters
The contract thin-film coating industry is poised for growth, with many target markets expected to see substantial gains over the next five to ten years. Contract coaters need to align their production platforms to take advantage of these lucrative...
A Brief Introduction to Customization

High Power, High LIDT Laser Optics - Understanding Optics for-High Power Lasers
Catalog optics are fine for many laser applications but high power lasers require specified damage optical characteristics. The whitepaper explores power resilience of laser optics, working with test laboratories, ISO testing, measuring LIDT, LIDT...
A New Spectral Analysis System Designed to Measure High-Performance Thin-Film Optical Filters
The HELIX Spectral Analysis System was designed to address the limitations of most commercially available spectrophotometers when measuring high-performance thin-film optical filters. The system’s capabilities are four-fold: it is able to track...
Use Injection Molded Plastic Optics to Reduce System Cost
Plastic optics in complex optical systems offer many advantages over glass. Designers and manufacturers will gain competitive advantages by using well designed plastic optics in applications well suited for their use. This white paper will discuss...
Autonomous automobiles don’t operate underwater, however…
Autonomous vehicles use an assortment of sensors and imagers including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). Whether it’s scanning system, solid state, or flash these systems need to be calibrated for sensitivity over a dynamic range of light...
Optical Components for SWIR Imaging
Precision Glass & Optics discusses the challenges of designing optical coatings for shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging. Also discussed are the many advantages that SWIR imaging devices provide.
Optimax OTR Coatings
Optimax has developed a novel optical coating (OTR) that protects optical surfaces in even the most extreme environmental use conditions. OTR coatings have been demonstrated to provide excellent resistance to latent scratching, staining and dimming...
Precision Infrared Narrow Bandpass and Dual Bandpass Filters Featuring Low OH-Band Absorption
Alluxa’s new class of Infrared (IR) bandpass and dual band filters bring the precision of dielectric filters to the IR between 2 and 5 microns. They are manufactured with an advanced, plasma enhanced PVD process using durable, hard metal-oxide, and...
Thin-Film Optical Components for Use in Non-Linear Optical Systems
Some of the greatest recent advances seen in bio-imaging and detection are due to techniques that utilize non-linear optical (NLO) phenomena. These techniques have led to a Nobel prize, super-resolution images, label-free visualization of naturally...
Fabricating and Testing Freeform Optics: Current Capabilities, Lessons Learned and Future Opportunities
Freeform optical shapes or optical surfaces that are designed with non-symmetric features are gaining popularity with lens designers and optical system integrators. A common question about freeform optics is, “If I design it, can you really make...
Ultra-Narrowband Optical Bandpass Filters with Large Format and Improved Temperature Stability
Hard coated ultra-narrowband optical filters made using modern plasma processes offer much improved transmission, temperature stability and out of band blocking as compared to legacy soft coatings. These filters are used in optical systems as...
UV Curing of Fiber Optic Coating
Current optical fiber manufacturing processes use UV lamp systems for curing protective coatings to the glass fiber. These systems suffer from low efficiency, high maintenance costs and environmental concerns. UV LED curing systems provide a...
High Volume Optical Component Testing Using an Agilent Cary 7000 Universal Measurement Spectrophotometer (UMS) with Solids Autosampler
In this study, we demonstrate increased productivity and reduced cost-per-analysis with automated, unattended multi-angle R/T analysis for multiple samples of uncoated fused silica using an Agilent Cary 7000 UMS fitted with an Agilent Solids...
