LASER MEASUREMENT
Jun 1, 2008 — A 2008 catalog of laser measurement and beam diagnostic equipment for medical, scientific and industrial research applications is available in pdf or in print from Ophir-Spiricon Inc. It features laser power and energy heads, including the PD300 series photodiode smart heads; displays, including the Vega handheld model with backlit navigation and a color screen; laser beam analysis profilers; and OEM products, including standard thermal and pyroelectric heads. Among the new products offered is...
Low-Profile Periscopes Sharpen the View
LONDON -- The Royal Navy’s Astute-class submarines will be equipped with nonhull-penetrating periscopes from Thales UK, based in Addlestone. The electro-optic systems will enable greater flexibility in the design of the submarines and will provide operators...
No Longer Walking the Line
Jun 1, 2008 — Jeff Cullison might be excused for aching feet, at least in a figurative sense. Cullison works for Northern Natural Gas Co. of Omaha, Neb., which operates 15,700 miles of natural gas pipeline running from the Permian Basin in Texas to the upper...
Optical Interferometry Measures the Deflection of Carbon-Based Nanosensors
Jun 1, 2008 — The reduction in size of modern electromechanical systems — from micro (MEMS) to nano (NEMS) — brings with it decreasing dimensions to be tested and characterized. Thus, the sensitivity requirements of the testing device and methodology are...
Photovoltaic Test Performance
Jun 1, 2008 — The sun’s energy is abundant, and turning it into electrical power is not only good for the environment but also good business. In 2007, solar modules capable of producing approximately 3700 MW of energy were manufactured, resulting in about $30...
Precise Positional Adjustments with Laser-Induced Shock Waves
Jun 1, 2008 — The trend in manufacturing today is to make everything smaller. Electronic gadgets, mechanical devices — everything is shrinking. Examples that come to mind are tiny microelectromechanical systems accelerometers built into automotive seat belts,...
Quality Down to the Last Detail
Jun 1, 2008 — Today’s automobile manufacturing plants bear little resemblance to those in use less than a generation ago. Assembly robots now adapt the position of car body parts to each other before fitting, taking into account geometry variations of each piece...
Quantum Dots Created from Carbon Nanotubes
Jun 1, 2008 — Carbon nanotubes are proving useful for sensing applications because they produce a strong Raman signal and make a detectable sound when hit with a laser. Nanotubes fluoresce as well, but not brightly. However, researchers have discovered that...
Tamar Garners NSF Funding
Jun 1, 2008 — Tamar Technology of Newbury Park, Calif., has been awarded a Phase II grant from the National Science Foundation of Arlington, Va., to continue researching a technology for measuring the thickness of semiconductor wafers and the depth of deep and...
Through a Lens, Wetly
Jun 1, 2008 — If you want a variable lens in the future, you may have to get wet. That is the hope of several researchers and companies that are working on liquid lenses, devices that use water or another liquid as an optical element. These systems employ a...
Toyo-Ram to Sell Zecotek Products
RAANANA, Israel -- Zecotek Photonics Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has signed an exclusive sales and distribution agreement with Toyo-Ram Electronics Ltd. The latter company will market in Israel a wide variety of lasers, laser crystals and...
Using Lasers to Steer a Car
BERLIN -- Just turn on the engine, lean back and relax: Your car will do the driving for you. At least, that is the concept behind the “Spirit of Berlin,” a vehicle developed by researchers from Freie Universität Berlin and from Fraunhofer Institute for...
Imaging Critical for Space Shuttle Re-entry
May 30, 2008 — On Saturday, May 31, 2008, the space shuttle Discovery is scheduled for lift-off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and when it does its successful re-entry will rely on its capability to capture images of the shuttle’s exterior condition. ...
Modulight, Vaisala Extend Laser Supply Agreement
May 29, 2008 — Modulight Inc. of San Jose, Calif., and Vaisala have extended a 2004 agreement, to 2010, to use Modulight laser diodes in Vaisala's DCS111 remote road-surface sensor. Vaisala is a Finland-based maker of electronic measurement systems and equipment...
Tower Cuts 170 Jobs
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, May 29, 2008 -- Chip maker Tower Semiconductor Ltd. has cut 170 jobs -- about 11 percent of its work force -- as part of plan to reduce costs by $40 million a year. The positions were eliminated primarily in management and support and will save $14 million a...
Nano Pioneers Awarded $1M
OSLO, Norway, May 28, 2008 -- Scientists from the US and Japan who discovered quantum dots and carbon nanotubes, respectively, are among seven inaugural recipients of $1 million Kavli prizes, biannual awards for outstanding research in nanoscience, neuroscience and astrophysics....
Lasers to Map Mayan Ruins
ORLANDO, Fla., May 23, 2008 -- Archaeology -- often slow-paced, precise work unless your name is Indiana Jones -- is going high tech, with lasers set to unlock the secrets of the Maya civilization hidden by dense forest canopy. A University of Central Florida (UCF) study under...
Flir Award Tops $45M
PORTLAND, Ore., May 20, 2008 -- Flir Systems Inc. announced today it has been awarded a performance-based logistics (PBL) support contract for up to $60.5 million from the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command in Huntsville, Ala. The contract provides for service, upgrades...
Planetary 3-D Roadmaps
ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 16, 2008 – A team of researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) led by scientist Donald Figer, are developing an image detector that is out of this world. The new Lidar (light detection and ranging) imaging detector uses light, instead of radio...
Light Mapped Through Holes
DELFT, Netherlands, May 9, 2008 -- The question of how light squeezes through small holes has been answered by a research team successful in accurately mapping the process for the first time. The researchers -- Aurele Adam, PhD, and professor Paul Planken of Delft University of...
Biosensors Like Bloodhounds
COLLEGE PARK, Md., May 6, 2008 -- Olfactory cells are being integrated into tiny microsystems to give them a bloodhound-like ability to sniff out hazards such as explosive materials, biological pathogens, spoiled food or impure water. Three faculty researchers in the University...
A Simpler Way to Build an Optical Acidity Detector
May 1, 2008 — A team of researchers in Spain has devised a fluorescent surface molecular sensor for the detection of acidity. The sensor could find application in industry, clinical analysis and environmental sampling. The team consisted of researchers from...
Another Way to Build a Better White Light
May 1, 2008 — When it comes to replacing today’s white lights, don’t count out solid-state light-emitting electrochemical cells. Researchers from National Taiwan University in Taipei recently demonstrated that cells based on cationic transition metal complexes...
Array of Tiny Quantum Cascade Lasers Provides Tunable Mid-IR Output
May 1, 2008 — Unlike the near-infrared and visible spectral ranges, where diode lasers provide compact and reliable sources, the mid-infrared range — 3 to 15 μm — lacks good lasers. A breakthrough in this area occurred with the demonstration of the quantum...
