For Compactness and Ruggedness, Linear Variable Filters Fit the Bill
Jul 29, 2016 — Spectroscopic optical applications have conventionally utilized dispersive elements such as diffraction gratings and, less commonly, prisms to separate light into its constituent wavelengths for spectral interrogation. Gratings have the advantage in that a wide range of dispersion levels is made available by adjusting the grating pitch, and they can be used in ways that are light-efficient. However, as they disperse the light as a function of angle, they intrinsically require a fairly complex
Sedi-ATI Acquired by J-F Vinchant Holding
COURCOURONNES, France, July 27, 2016 — J-F Vinchant Holding Strategy has acquired Sedi-ATI Fibres Optiques. Financial terms of the sale were not disclosed. The acquisition aims to boost the company’s presence in the optical fiber-based component markets, especially those that deal with...
