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...
When to Choose HOT MWIR Over Uncooled LWIRCooled midwave infrared (MWIR) cameras have long held a tactical advantage over uncooled longwave infrared (LWIR) cameras in many airborne and ground-based missions. But while cooled MWIR cameras are highly sensitive, they are also larger, heavier,...
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...
Comparing CCD vs. CMOS Sensor Performance for Pixel-Level Display MeasurementImaging systems rely on sensors to accurately interpret light as photometric data and enable evaluation of displays. This paper discusses properties of today’s high-resolution sensors used for image-based photometric display testing, and examines...
Displacement Feedback for Closed Loop Nanopositioning SystemsPiezo-based nanopositioners for moving objects in nanometer range require ultra-precise displacement sensors to increase motion stability and accuracy. A nine axis positioner setup was implemented in a high vacuum environment and our laser...
How Laser Quantum Measures and Reports Root Mean Square (RMS) % Noise ValueOne of Laser Quantum’s goals has always been to create lasers with the lowest possible noise. Intracavity frequency-doubled lasers have an inherent noise of about 3% RMS. Several techniques have been developed over the years to reduce this noise,...
Understanding Total Measurement Uncertainty in Power Meters and DetectorsIt is important that users of calibrated power meters and detectors understand the total uncertainty or error that exists in their measurements. Often, users assume that the rated calibration uncertainty of the Newport detector or power meter is the...
Optimizing Imaging: Resolution & Dynamic RangeResolution and dynamic range are two important specifications when evaluating the capabilities of an imaging colorimeter, yet they are easily misconstrued. The assumption is that the higher the camera resolution, the higher the dynamic range, the...
The Role of Lidar in our CitiesOur first city belonged to the Mayans, one of six areas in the world where ancient civilization arose independently. Once a thriving hub of culture, commerce and magnificent architecture in modern-day Guatemala, the city was recently discovered...
8 Things Engineers Should Know About Thermal ImagingAdding thermal imaging sensors to your next project can give your customers the ability to see the unseen, and expand their senses into the unknown. If you’re considering adding thermal sensors to your next design, there are a few things you should...
The Most Important Camera Parameters for Aerial ImagingSelecting components for an aerial imaging payload does not have to be complicated.

How to Design a Detector Noise Limited Instrument with PbSe DetectorsPyrometers, NDIR gas analyzers, and flame monitoring systems, often make use of MWIR photoconductive PbSe detectors. Particularly, when high sensitivity and quick response time at an affordable cost are required. In order to achieve the optimal...
Key Considerations when Designing and Implementing an Outdoor-Ready Smart Imaging SystemThe key to a successful all-in-one imaging system is the use of embedded systems – especially when it comes to designing a custom proprietary system. This white paper walks you through key elements to consider when designing an embedded vision...
Working in the Basement: Measuring Signals Below the Noise Floor with a Lock-In AmplifierMeasuring optical signals in the femtowatt (10-15) to nanowatt (10-9) range can be a daunting task. Signal levels this low are lost in typical detector noise levels and swamped by background light. The noise floor for photodiode detectors operated...
A Brief Introduction to CustomizationThis five-part series is focused on optoelectronic customization, and how both emitter and detector components and assemblies can be specifically designed for customer applications, including in-depth analysis of materials, packaging, and testing....
