Coast Guard Brings New Life to Lighthouse
Mar 1, 1998 — The US Coast Guard has agreed to restore the original lens in a historic Florida lighthouse. The diamondlike lens is one of only eight clamshell-design Fresnel lenses still operating in the US. The Coast Guard had planned to replace the 1907 lens...
Zeiss Provides Satellite Optics
Feb 1, 1998 — Optics manufacturer Carl Zeiss has secured a DM 18 million contract to build the optics for three Meteosat 2 satellites. The optics are under construction at the company's' Oberkochen, Germany, plant. The satellites, rotating more than 100...
Nonlinear optics:
Jan 1, 1998 — Until the late 1980s, multiphoton processes in organic and polymeric materials were only of academic interest due to their relatively low-multiphoton-absorption cross sections. However, a new generation of highly efficient organic materials with...
Optical Design:
Jan 1, 1998 — Optical Design software encompasses a large variety of applications, spanning lens design and illumination optics, laser cavity design, integrated optics design, physical image modeling, and polarization and scattering analysis. The demands of the...
Diamonds Turn Out Precision Optics
Dec 1, 1997 — During the middle of the Cold War, the United States military establishment became upset about the cost of infrared components. The military was going to need increasing numbers of large-diameter germanium components to control the 'smart' weapons...
Microlens Arrays Sharpen the Details
Dec 1, 1997 — As devices that employ photonics components shrink, optical engineers increasingly are turning to the smallest tools at their disposal, and when it comes to lenses, they face a bevy of choices. One recent trend is toward collections of tiny lenses...
Horiba Acquires Optics Manufacturer
Oct 1, 1997 — Horiba Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of infrared analysis devices, has acquired the French optical equipment manufacturer Instruments S.A. The acquisition complements Horiba's existing line of engine emission analyzers and medical analyzers....
Sales Double for Laser, Electro-Optics Companies
Jul 1, 1997 — Total sales have nearly doubled in the last five years for 19 leading companies in the laser and electro-optics industry, according to a report compiled by the Laser and Electro-Optics Manufacturers' Association (LEOMA). In 1992, sales for the 19...
Telecentric Lenses: Gauge the Difference
Jul 1, 1997 — For decades, engineers developing metrology instrumentation have used telecentric lenses in their products. Contour projectors and optical comparators, for example, owe much of their measurement capability to these unique lenses.Over the past decade...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Catalog Company Splits Its Efforts
Nov 1, 1996 — BARRINGTON, N.J. -- Edmund Scientific has split into two divisions to better serve the growing numbers of industrial customers. The company announced last month that Frank DiMinno has taken over as president of its growing Industrial Optics Div.,...
LEOMA/OSA Schedule Human Resources Seminar for Photonics Industry
Nov 1, 1996 — A seminar targeting human resource problems that confront the photonics industry is being offered by the Laser and Electro-Optics Manufacturers' Association (LEOMA) and the Optical Society of America (OSA) at the Stanford Park Hotel in Menlo Park,...
Newport Fiber Optics Conference Draws 170 from 17 Countries
Nov 1, 1996 — Worldwide fiber optic cable deployment reached 22.8 million kilometers in 1995 and will top the 63 million mark by the year 2001 with the US, Japan and China leading the way, according to sponsor KMI Corp.'s researchers at the 19th Annual Newport...
University of Rochester Alumni Seek Endowed Chair Honoring Hopkins
Nov 1, 1996 — The University of Rochester's Institute of Optics has launched a campaign to establish an endowed chair honoring Robert E. Hopkins, former director of the institute and former president of the Optical Society of America. During his tenure at...
