Report should help insure optical supply

As anyone who has ever worked with an alexandrite laser can attest, its lasing medium demands respect. “It has about every problem a laser engineer can imagine,” said Josef Höffner,...

Out in the Gulf of Mexico, an offshore oil rig experiences a critical mechanical failure. The engineers with the expertise to fix the problem are back on the mainland, and flying them to the site on...

For decades, optical microscopy has provided the mechanism with which to image cells and tissue for the purposes of cancer research, digital pathology, and the study of the brain. Samples are...

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA), as the name implies, is an integrated circuit that contains an array of transistor-based logic gates. The connections between these gates can be changed at...

Any number of medical, industrial, and analytical applications requires the detection of light. Chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, fluorescence, and atomic absorption are just a few, and all require...

Flat optics generally perform three main functions: They transmit light (windows), reflect light (mirrors), and fold light (prisms). While most optical manufacturers make spherical and flat optics, a...

For rotationally symmetric optical systems, either the lens or the detector moves along the optical axis to maintain optical performance. If the compensating axial motion is accomplished without the...

Thermography has become an indispensable tool for all types of R&D projects that require noncontact, accurate temperature measurement. Many IR camera options are available with different features...
