The OSTAR® Projection Power LE xx P1MS/AS LEDs from ams OSRAM are made for use in mini projectors and are based on 0.33-in. digital light processing imagers. Available in blue, amber, deep blue,...

Reflected-ultraviolet imaging is a rather mysterious area of the imaging field. There is relatively little actual UV imagery to be found on the Internet or in the literature compared to near-infrared...

The use of precision polymer optics is becoming an increasing necessity today as products demand sophisticated light handling components to achieve desired results. Polymer optics can be thought of...

The use and importance of colorimetry has grown in unison with the increase of global manufacturing and processing. When plastic automotive trim produced on one continent must match a painted metal...

The digital camera represents an integration of optics, mechanics and electronics consisting of three layers (Figures 1a, b and c). The top and the middle layers are printed circuit boards (PCBs),...

New generations of laser sources, with high pulse energy, wide continuous tunable range, and a compact form, are in high demand to advance two-photon and three-photon microscopy to its full potential...

Microdisplays are essential for wearable AR/VR/MR devices, such as smart glasses. Emissive microdisplays, such as OLEDs or micro-LEDs, provide significant advantages in terms of form factor and power...

A hyperspectral camera captures the light that is reflected by an object or transmitted through a material. And since every material has its own specific spectral fingerprint, it can be identified in...

To make e-mobility a real success, production processes must be profitable, efficient and reproduceable. Laser technology is an indispensable manufacturing tool and is used throughout the entire...

Liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) is a display technology that combines liquid crystal materials with silicon-based semiconductor technology to create high-resolution, high-quality images. LCoS...

A small xenon-filled tube with metal electrodes fused into the ends. The gas flashes brilliantly when a condenser is discharged through the tube. The duration of the flash is primarily dependent upon...

The arc formed when the rare gas xenon is excited electrically and emits a brilliant white light. Xenon is used to fill electronic and stroboscopic flashlamps, and also large discharge tubes for...

A microdisplay is a miniature electronic display technology that is designed to project visual information onto a small screen. Unlike traditional displays, microdisplays are typically very compact...
