| White Paper: Geiger-Mode Avalanche Photodiode Focal Plane Arrays For Three-Dimensional Imaging LADAR | Through the use of laser radar (LADAR) to obtain high-resolution range measurements at each pixel of an imager, it is possible to obtain image data in three spatial dimensions that provides information about imaged scenes and objects which is superior to that provided by traditional two-dimensional intensity images. Whereas intensity images require that object shapes be inferred from edge examination and complex image processing algorithms that generally require assumptions that are not implicit in the image data, three-dimensional data removes the ambiguity of edge determination and provides far more definitive information concerning imaged objects.

| Case Study: Effective Medicine | Hardly any industry is subject to as stringent quality criteria as the pharmaceutical industry – both for legal reasons as well as in its own best interests, owing to the potentially dramatic consequences of any error. After all, when it comes to the health of an afflicted human being, no risk is acceptable. As a result of this fact, in many cases, production must be inspected to exactly 100% in order to ensure that no defective preparations make their way to patients. How can, for example, 80,000 tiny capsules per hour be reliably tested without interrupting or halting the assembly process? This is a typical case for industrial imaging. | 08/24/2010 | 79.5 KB |

| Application Note: CARS Microscopy | In the last ten years multi-photon-microscopy has become increasingly popular to enhancing contrast and resolution for modern microscopic imaging due to the utilization of non-linear optical effects. Amongst many methods of multi-photon-microscopy, two-photon-excitation fluorescence- microscopy is the most popular one with more than a few hundred systems installed every year. The big draw back of two-photon-fluorescence microscopy, however, is the use of dyes for creating the images. Methods to overcome the problems connected with dyes are based on non-linear optical effects such as second and third harmonic generation (SHG, THG), Raman scattering or Coherent Antistokes Raman Scattering (CARS), a third order non-linear process (X(3) process) involving four photons. | 08/10/2010 | 239.7 KB |
