Microscopy Objective Lens Metrology 13 Sep

Optikos

Today’s microscopy systems push the limits of performance and engineering. The advent of digital microscopy and computational processing means, whether using a manual laboratory microscope or a high-throughput automated platform, instruments are expected to produce excellent image quality across a large FOV and across a range of wavebands. To understand the performance limits of cutting-edge optical systems you need high-quality, reliable, and precise metrology systems.

Canadian InP quantum dot lasers: performance and applications 02 Jul

National Reseach Council of Canada

The National Research Council of Canada is developing and manufacturing quantum dots and dashes on GaAs and InP substrates for communications and quantum applications. Here we describe applications in the 1.55 µm wavelength range based on InAs quantum dots on the InP-based platform. We demonstrate lasers with significant performance advantages over conventional QW lasers when used in high-speed data communications applications.

Making Raman Measurements Reproducible 28 Mar

Wasatch Photonics

Raman OEM applications need consistent spectra to deliver dependable answers. A good-quality OEM spectrometer should, by design, exhibit low unit-to-unit variability from the start, and any remaining small differences should be corrected in order to achieve the most robust and repeatable analytical outcomes in the field. Learn how to achieve >99.5% unit-to-unit agreement using a series of simple corrections.

How to Select and Specify a Non-Linear Optical Crystal 01 Mar

GAMDAN Optics

Measuring Aspheres in a 3D World 10 Jan

LaCroix Precision Optics

This white paper provides a practical guide on the benefits of 3D measurements of aspheres, featuring real-world case studies. This white paper also explains why one may prefer measuring aspheres in 3D over 2D, not to review the merits of the individual technologies as they apply to specific shapes.

Manufacturing Considerations for Tolerancing Aspheres 10 Jan

LaCroix Precision Optics

As aspheres become more prevalent in optical systems, it is important for lens designers to consider the various tolerances when designing an aspheric lens. Various topics discussed in this paper include irregularity and MSF errors (slope specification, maximum Zernike residual error, and spatial filtering), clear aperture, center thickness, and the dos and don’ts of tolerancing aspheres.

Imaging in Challenging Lighting Conditions — A Better Way 07 Sep 2023

Teledyne Lumenera

Choosing just the right camera for a particular application can be difficult. Common cameras specifications that are normally considered include resolution and frame rate. However, lighting is an external factor that is potentially even more important to consider. This document highlights how high conversion gain (HCG) and low conversion gain (LCG) camera capabilities can be beneficial in challenging lighting conditions, along with examples of imaging applications where these challenges commonly occur.
