Product preview #3

Ion beam sputtering
German coating expert Laseroptik has added ion-beam sputtering to its range of coating capabilities. The company already uses e-beam evaporation, ion-assisted deposition and magneton sputtering. The IBS process is said to produce coatings with low particulate density, high packing density and smooth surfaces with low roughness.

Infrared spectrometer
Actively ventilated and temperature controlled, the Tristan-NIR InGaAs infrared spectrometer offers a fully automatic measuring procedure without an elaborate set-up procedure. It is available in two configurations, the NIR-HR covering 900 to 1700 nm with a resolution of 5 nm, and the ex-NIR covering 1000 nm to 2200 nm with a resolution of 15 nm. Both models are individually calibrated before delivery and TRIWin 3.0 software is pre-installed.

Single mode laser diode
New laser diodes in the 730-750 nm range from Frankfurt Laser demonstrate line widths below 0.04 nm, and are available from 5 mW to 30 mW optical power. Suitable for medical applications, gas detection, laser seeding and other uses, they are supplied in free-space TO-type and fiber-coupled packages.

Green laser
High power green lasers for target designation, marking, metrology and other applications are available in two types: MicroGreen is mounted on a 5.6 mm diameter laser diode and measures 9 mm in length, while MiniGreen is mounted on a 9 mm diode and is 13 mm long. At 30 mW optical power they require below 200 mA of input current and can be powered with 1.8 V DC.

Laser diodes
Two hermetically sealed high power laser modules in HHL housing, with integrated TEC, thermistor and monitor photodiodes, are available for medical applications and R&D projects. The FLO-880 provides a 500 mW CW beam at 1610 to 1650 nm, and operates at 3 A and 1.25 V. The FLO-950 is a 1725 nm diode based on a GaInAsP/InP structure, featuring a threshold current of 0.7 A. Both are also available in fiberd HHL packages with 100 µm core diameter multiple mode fiber terminated with SMA-905 connector.

MEMS adaptive optics demonstrator
Visitors to the Fraunhofer booth can see a MEMS Phase Former Kit which is built around a high resolution micro mirror array. The array has 240 x 200 mirror elements with 40 µm pixel size, providing 400 nm stroke at 8 bit resolution. Windows control software and a projection system completes the full adaptive optics demonstrator which, is targeted at machine vision, astronomy, laser beam shaping and diffractive optics applications.

MEMS spatial light demonstrator
Fraunhofer's demonstrator for the function of spatial light modulators (SLM) is built around an array of micromirrors on top of a CMOS backplane, each one addressed and moved individually to control intensity or phase. The mirrors are specified for monochromatic light between 248 and 520 nm, enabling the use of DUV excimer wavelengths as well as near UV and visible light sources. The SLM is addressed with analogue voltages, enabling the chip to directly generate analogue intensities.

Photon counter
ID Quantique will demonstrate the id201 series of low noise single photon counting modules for the near infrared range. Features are said to include adjustable photon detection probability, short and long gates, adjustable delay and dead time. All units now also feature improved dark count rate. Parameters can be adjusted via a graphical display or a computer interface.

MTF and distortion measurement
The OptoMess instrument provides data on distortion, telecentricity errors and MTF for lens quality control. It can collect paraxial data including the location of optical axis, provide a live picture of the asymmetrical distortions during assembly or manipulation of the lens elements, and carry out MTF measurements at any picture field position using white light.
