Facebook X LinkedIn Email
PHOENIX, April 15, 2009 -- Appropriately enough for a talk given in the Valley of the Sun, the keynote at the Vision Show in Phoenix in early April concerned solar power. Peter Klaerner, a staff process engineer at SolFocus of Mountain View, Calif., spoke about concentrating photovoltaics (CPVs), his company's specialty. He noted that machine vision could play a vital role in a number of manufacturing steps in CPV. That could be good news for vision companies. The interaction between vision and solar could also be good for solar. After finishing the talk, Klaerner was answering questions and mentioned one of...Read full article

    chip
    1. A localized fracture at the end of a cleaved optical fiber or on a glass surface. 2. An integrated circuit.
    light
    Electromagnetic radiation detectable by the eye, ranging in wavelength from about 400 to 750 nm. In photonic applications light can be considered to cover the nonvisible portion of the spectrum which includes the ultraviolet and the infrared.
    optical
    Pertaining to optics and the phenomena of light.
    reflectivity
    The ratio of the intensity of the total radiation reflected from a surface to the total incident on that surface.
    vision
    The processes in which luminous energy incident on the eye is perceived and evaluated.
