![]() | Choosing the best spectrometer for NIR OCT 02 Apr Wasatch Photonics Near infrared optical coherence tomography has traditionally been limited to imaging depths of just a few millimeters, but with our expanded line of OCT spectrometers, up to 12 mm is possible. In this tech note, we explore and compare three different drop-in spectrometer models designed to serve a wide range of resolution, depth, and size requirements in NIR OCT imaging. |
![]() | Photodiodes Exposed: Unlocking the characteristics of these crucial sensors 21 Feb Hamamatsu Europe Photodiodes. Uncover why their characteristics, such as high sensitivity and low dark current, make them a crucial type of sensor in applications such as medical and scientific measurements, analytical, fire safety, optical communications, photovoltaics, and automation. |
![]() | Measure How We See – The Way to Perfect Display Colors 28 Oct 2024 ADMESY In recent years new display technologies have emerged. OLED displays, TFT’s with quantum dot technology or laser projectors offer brighter and more saturated colors than possible before. To achieve consistent colors across different displays, colorimetric calibration of the displays is essential. |
![]() | Identifying Optical Materials with Precision Accuracy 04 Mar Knight Optical Precision accuracy is a critical necessity with any optical component. Rigorous testing to ensure strict compliance with given requirements will always be essential; it is a vitally important demand within any industry sector. Dimensional, surface profiling and optical performance testing are significant aspects of this process, but an additional layer of assurance and quality can be achieved with the use of material verification, employing methods such as refractive index, density testing and transmission measurement. This White Paper explores advanced techniques for precise optical material verification, overcoming the limitations of traditional testing methods. |
