Making Innovation Faster: 7 Lessons from Luminate on Building Effective Accelerators for Optics EntrepreneursAll entrepreneurs face obstacles moving a product from lab to launch. Companies developing optics, photonics, and imaging (OPI) technologies face additional challenges often not addressed by accelerators. Luminate was founded in Rochester, NY to...
Design Your AR/VR System with 2D-Q Freeforms in CODE VThe most challenging optical designs today need precise non-spherical surface shapes. A surface formulation specified by G.W. Forbes describes a “freeform” surface with orthogonal polynomial deformations. Synopsys has developed a 2D-Q freeform...
Tolerancing and its Role in Illumination and Nonsequential Optical DesignTolerancing is a subject that is often overlooked, or not fully addressed, in the design of illumination and nonsequential optical systems. Tolerancing methods are well developed and understood in the lens design and imaging system design fields,...
How Much Will an Optical Filter Cost?Filters are a critical element in the design of most optical systems. However, optimizing the trade-off between cost and performance isn’t obvious. With nearly a half century of experience in the business, Andover Corporation has a few tips to help...
The Fast Lane to Embedded VisionSensor Modules are small imaging solutions used to easily integrate customized vision technologies into machines and devices that allow them to see. Developers of robots, drones, IoT, consumer devices and surveillance applications benefit from...
Make or Buy Your SpectrometerOne of the challenges instrument makers face today is an increasing need to bring new innovative products to the market faster and at a lower cost. Spectrometers are an essential component in analytical instruments for a broad range of applications,...
Tolerance Analysis Tools Take the Guesswork out of a Colorful Illumination Design ProblemTolerance analysis has largely been out of reach for illumination designers because of the time needed to perform the thousands of simulations required to get a meaningful statistical tolerance result, and because of a lack of built-in tolerance...
Radiation Resistant LensesDrawing upon approaching 30 years experience — Resolve Optics has built a strong reputation for specialist lens design and manufacture of smaller production quantities of radiation resistant lenses and optical products on time to strict...
Replacing Hard to Source and Obsolete Optical ComponentsPeriodically organisations are faced with replacing hard to source or obsolete optical components within their camera, sensor, or instrument systems. It is at this critical point that you have to choose whether to search for an off-the-shelf...
Application in Optical Design: Optimization for Receiver Enclosed Energy in LiDAR SystemsEnclosed energy optimization can be an important way to achieve high-performance optical systems that have stringent irradiance requirements, such as spectrometers and solar concentrators. This white paper shows an example LiDAR receiver system with...
Measuring Aspheres in a 3-D WorldThis white paper provides a basic practical guide on the benefits of 3-D measurements of aspheres as well as a couple of real-world examples of parts that we have manufactured. This white paper also goes into detail why one may prefer measuring...
Is It True That Cooled Cameras are More Sensitive than Non-cooled Cameras?The temperature has a significant impact on certain noise sources prevalent in cameras, which contribute to the total readout noise of an image sensor. When electronic devices are operated continuously, they dissipate heat due to losses in the...
7 Steps to Choosing the Correct Optical Mirror or WindowIn addition to a good understanding of your application, carefully defining your requirements can save manufacturing time, which translates to reduced costs. In this paper, learn the important factors to consider when designing the ideal optic for...
X-Ray ToroidsOptical fabrication techniques discussed to produce bent crystal analyzers that conform to toroidal surfaces for hard and soft x-ray applications including x-ray spectroscopy, ultrafast laser excited x-ray sources, imaging, and plasma diagnostics.
Performing Differential Noise Figure MeasurementsIn recent years, numerous improvements have been made in noise figure measurements through better algorithmic understanding of the measurements, more sensitive receivers, and less error-prone methods of processing noise power measurements. Anritsu...
Effects of Sterilization Methods on Key Properties of Specialty Optical Fibers Used in Medical DevicesOptical fibers with different types of polymer coatings were exposed to three sterilization conditions: multiple autoclaving, treatment with ethylene oxide and treatment with gamma rays. Effects of different sterilization techniques on key optical...
The Future of Optics: How Optical Product Design will Change the WorldNew technologies are creating new opportunities in the optomechanical engineering space. Prepare for what lies ahead in optical product design by reading what 13 experts have to say about how optical product design has changed and where it’s going....
Meet Your Augmented and Virtual Reality Challenges Head-On: Design Your Next System with 2D-Q Freeforms in CODE VThe most challenging optical designs today need precise non-spherical surface shapes. A new surface formulation specified by G.W. Forbes describes a “freeform” surface with orthogonal polynomial deformations. Synopsys has developed a new 2D-Q...
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...
Metrology for the Manufacture of Freeform OpticsFreeform optics are gaining popularity with lens designers and optical system integrators as a method to solve complex optical system design problems. Optimax has developed new freeform manufacturing techniques that have improved the capability and...
Electro-Optical Measurements Using Vector Network AnalyzersAs the data rates of optical communication systems continue to increase, optical transmit and receive modules require characterization to wider bandwidths. Optical modulators (E/O devices), photo detectors and receivers (O/E devices), as well as...
Hyperspectral Imaging Cameras in Rapid Detection and Potential Diagnosis of Agricultural Crop ThreatsRemote monitoring of crops via satellites using color cameras was the earliest form of spectral imaging in agricultural management. Due to limited capabilities, only basic plant health parameters could be reported. The advent of hyperspectral...
Solving 5 Big Thin-Film Deposition Challenges Facing Contract CoatersThe 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...
Six Best Practices for Optical Product Design TeamsIn their groundbreaking study Six Myths of Product Development, Stefan Thomke and Donald Reinertsen exposed common fallacies of product development and presented best practices for overcoming them (Harvard Business Review, May 2012). This eGuide...
