INDUSTRIAL WHITE PAPERS
CoaXPress 2.0 – The Standard in Industrial Image Processing for Demanding ApplicationsCoaXPress is a well-known interface for industrial image processing and it is coming soon in the new standard version 2.0 (CXP-12). The interface is particularly relevant for demanding applications especially whenever high data rates or short latency periods are required. In this white paper, we explain the benefits of the interface, take a close look at the current and upcoming standard versions, describe which applications can benefit from it and why it is time to switch to CoaXPress 2.0.
Maximizing Camera Performance with FiltersThe use of filters allows a camera to be more selective with what kind of light will make contact with the sensor. Filters are often designed with the intent of blocking out a certain amount of light, whether this is a specific band of light (a set...
Optical Fiber AlignmentMinor losses in fiber couplings translate to large problems in data transmission. This paper discusses the alignment of optical fiber devices, the motion parameters that must be considered, the methods that are used to find the location of peak...
Joined Fast Together: e-Mobility and Laser Welding in Automotive ProductionThe future of the automobile is the subject of hot debate. China is the leading market for electric cars and US startups have completely changed the approach for building a car. Wherever the road leads, one thing is sure – the latest automotive...
Raman Spectroscopy in CrystallizationTwo trends in the regulatory landscape have created new scientific opportunities and financial motivations for using process analytical technologies (PAT) in small molecule and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. One critical quality attribute of a...
Design Optimization & Sensitivity Analysis of Photonic Integrated CircuitsThis 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...
Behind the Scenes of Today's Imaging ProcessImage processing has become so ingrained in everyday life that we often forget how quickly it has advanced over the last few decades. Today, we are able to snap photos and then rotate, crop, and apply various filters to the images directly on the...
How Does Prism Technology Help to Achieve Superior Color ImagingAchieving superior image quality requires real and full color depth for every channel, improved color contrast and color differentiation, low inter-channel crosstalk and noise levels. These vital image quality factors can be achieved using the...
Slow Axis Collimators for Laser DiodesDiode laser technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace as suppliers add new wavelengths and improve output power but still present one big challenge to the system designer: their output is inherently asymmetric. FISBA solves this with their...
Going Polarized - Polarization Adds A New Perspective To The Imaging IndustryIn many machine vision applications the use of polarization cameras can provide information that cannot be obtained with standard monochrome, color, multi-spectral or hyperspectral cameras. In this White Paper, LUCID Vision Labs provides a deeper...
New Approach for High Reliability, Low Loss Splicing between Silica and ZBLAN FibersIn the past decade, ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-NaF) fibers have drawn increasing interest for laser operations at wavelengths where Fused Silica-based (SiO2) fibers do not perform well. One limitation to the expansion of ZBLAN fiber lasers today is the...
The Most Important Camera Parameters for Aerial ImagingSelecting components for an aerial imaging payload does not have to be complicated. Although the right camera choice is crucial for an aerial imaging system, the key to a success is to focus on the specifications that matter the most when imaging...
Beam Profiling: A Brief Review of Best PracticesCurrently, lasers that vary widely in light wavelengths and beam powers are available for many scientific, industrial, and medical applications. This article reviews the components that comprise a laser beam profiler, and describes the methods of...
Daisy-chaining Data and Power to Reduce CablingSetting up motion control systems can be time consuming, costly, and complex. At Zaber, we focus on simplifying motion control. One way our systems can save you time and money is by reducing the number of cables required for a multi-axis system....
Designing a Vision SystemThere are a number of factors that need to be considered when designing a vision system, including: the hardware platform, the operating system, the software and API, and the very things that make the vision system “see” – the camera and its lens....
Reducing Production Waste with Laser Profiling and CharacterizationA laser profiling system can characterize and identify which variables affect product quality and waste. But many laser users have never evaluated the quality of the beam beyond the initial delivery. This leads to frequent process adjustments to try...
Principles of Lock-in Detection and the-State-of the-ArtUnderstanding the basic working principles of lock-in amplifiers is key to working effectively in many of today’s photonics labs, where signal modulation imposed by pulsed lasers, AOMs, EOMs, optical choppers and other devices is ubiquitous. The...
Understanding Latency in Real-Time Imaging ApplicationsImaging system designers rely on latency performance data to help determine how quickly a system can process, analyze and in some applications display images. Low latency enables higher-speed quality inspection, and is critical for applications such...
Beam Shaping Concepts for kW-class CW and QCW Diode LasersIn this presentation, the beam shaping concepts developed at DILAS for high fill factor bars are presented.
