Camera Image Quality & Sensor Size How Many Megapixels is Too Many? 17 Jun 2021

Pro-lite Technology

Pro-Lite provides a solution for almost any application in measuring the colour and brightness of light sources and displays. From a simple, inexpensive lux meter, to the world's most advanced imaging photometers, we have a light meter that you can rely upon to give you accurate, repeatable data.

The “New” Raman: Streamlined, Flexible and Powerful 11 May 2021

Pro-lite

It has been over 90 years since C.V. Raman received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery which bears his name. Since that time, successive improvements in measurement systems have enabled Raman spectroscopy to become a powerful and versatile analytical tool that is applied in a vast array of applications from material science to medical diagnostics.

Infrared sensing using nanocrystal toward on demand light matter coupling 06 May 2021

New Imaging Technology

Nanocrystals are semiconductor nanoparticles whose optical properties can be tuned from UV up to THz. They are used as sources of green and red light for displays, and also show exhibit promises to design low-cost infrared detectors. Coupling subwavelength optical resonators to nanocrystals film enables to design photodiodes that absorb 80% of incident light from thin (<150 nm) nanocrystal film. It thus becomes possible to overcome the constraints linked to the short diffusion lengths which result from transport by hopping within arrays of nanocrystals enabling high photoresponse detector operating in the SWIR range.

5 Applications of Gratings 29 Apr 2021

Wasatch Photonics

Diffraction gratings that operate in transmission can be used for many different applications, providing high efficiency, low stray light, and a range of dispersion options from 150-5000 lines/mm and operating at wavelengths 300-2500 nm. They also enable more compact, lens-based designs. Here, we review the top 5 most popular applications we see at Wasatch Photonics, and how our VPH transmission gratings excel at each.

Realistic Optical System Tolerancing: A Practical Example 28 Jan 2021

Ruda-Cardinal

While lens design software can assist with tolerancing, complex and/or critical optical systems require expertise beyond the software’s basic functionality. We represent tolerancing of optical systems as close to reality as possible by utilizing the most advanced tolerancing tools both built into lens design software and of our own creation
