Welcome To Photonics Online's Photonics West 2012 Preview, Part 2

SPIE Photonics West 2012
January 21 to 26
The Moscone Center
San Francisco, CA

Every year, more than 19,000 people take part in SPIE Photonics West, the conference and marketplace for the photonics, biophotonics, and laser industries. The event includes 1,150+ companies and showcases the latest tools, applications, and innovations.

In this newsletter, Photonics Online brings you our focus on Photonics West 2012. You will find product and exhibitor information from some of Photonics Online's partners who will be at the show. Also, be sure to check out our Photonics West 2012 Resource Center — a hub for everything Photonics West 2012.

If you are attending the show, Photonics Online will be exhibiting at Booth #4231. Stop by to say hello and for a chance to win an iPad 2.

New High-Power F-Theta Fused Silica Lenses For Laser Material Processing
Increasingly higher outputs of fiber and disk lasers demand high-power F-Theta lenses for laser material processing. The new JENar series of fused silica F-Theta lenses provide optimized performance in multi-kW laser applications, a substantially higher damage threshold with minimum focal shift even at higher laser powers. This makes the new high-power series a perfect match for a wide range of applications.

GigE Vision For Real-Time Machine Vision
By Teledyne DALSA
The acceptance and use of Gigabit Ethernet technology for industrial digital imaging applications continues to grow. The increased variety and capability of cameras to leverage this powerful interface, combined with planned updates to the AIA (Automated Imaging Association) GigE Vision interface standards, makes GigE Vision-based imaging more robust and more ideal than ever for real-time machine vision applications.
