Lasers: Understanding the Basics
Jan 1, 2015 — Although lasers range from quantum-dot to football-field size and utilize materials from free electrons to solids, the underlying operating principles are always the same. This article provides the basic information about how and why lasers work.
Light-Emitting Diodes: A Primer
Jan 1, 2015 — Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductors that convert electrical energy into light energy. The color of the emitted light depends on the semiconductor material and composition, with LEDs generally classified into three wavelengths:...
Plastic Optics: Specifying Injection-Molded Polymer Optics
Jan 1, 2015 — 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...
Thin-Film Coatings: A Buyers' Guide
Jan 1, 2015 — What are thin-film coatings? Optical thin-film coatings modify the transmittance and reflectance properties of the substrate material to which they are applied. This article provides an objective overview of typical performance characteristics,...
Ultraviolet Filters: Past and Present
Jan 1, 2015 — Bandpass filters are passive optical devices that control the flow of light. They are used to isolate certain wavelengths or colors. Applications range from detecting the gaseous composition of a distant star to visualizing the chemical
Optical Delay Lines: Key to Time-Resolved Measurements
Dec 8, 2014 — To obtain an accurate means of creating reliable delays in any time-resolved spectroscopy or dynamic experiment, several factors about the delay line stage must be considered to reduce or eliminate errors associated with linear stages. One of the...
Adhesives for Fiber Optics Assembly: Making the Right Choice
Mar 8, 2009 — Using the proper adhesive in the assembly of fiber optic components not only saves time and expense, but also can improve reliability and performance. Adhesives for fiber optic components that perform well on glass, metal, ceramic and most plastic...
