Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2009 – Precision optical systems maker Navitar Inc. has announced the sale of its coatings division, Navitar Coating Labs of Newport Beach, Calif., to its president, Dan Coursen, for an undisclosed amount. The company said it based its decision to sell the division on the success of Special Optics, a Wharton, N.J., firm Navitar acquired a year ago that has quadrupled the company’s optical design capabilities and expanded Navitar’s in-house optical coating capabilities (See Navitar Buys Special Optics). Navitar supplies precision optics and optical subsystems for applications...Read full article

    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
    infrared
    Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
    optical
    Pertaining to optics and the phenomena of light.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    ultraviolet
    That invisible region of the spectrum just beyond the violet end of the visible region. Wavelengths range from 1 to 400 nm.
    visible
    That term pertaining to the spectral region that can be perceived by the eye.
