 | 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. |
 | 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. |
 | Surface Quality Control for Maximizing LIDT in High-PowerLaserOptics 06 Oct Optoman in collaboration with Dioptic In high-power laser systems, the optical components' resilience to laser-induced damage directly determines performance, reliability, and service life. Even minor surface or subsurface imperfections can severely compromise the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), introducing failure points that limit system capability. |
 | Transforming Laser Material Processing: Digital Beam Shaping for High Power Lasers 10 Dec Hamamatsu Photonics Europe Hamamatsu Photonics has advanced LCOS-SLM technology to enable dynamic digital beam shaping for high-power lasers. Thermal innovations like sapphire glass and water-cooling boost precision, efficiency, and multi-beam capability, raising power tolerance to 750 W. Ideal for applications such as laser powder bed fusion, Hamamatsu delivers flexible, high-throughput solutions compatible with AI systems, setting new standards in optical beam shaping |
