In this case study, high resolution cameras are mounted in the cutter head of a tunnel boring machine to enable structural analysis and geological documentation of the drilling surface.

Raman spectroscopy is a non-invasive, highly sensitive technology that quantitatively probes and analyzes chemical compositions and structures without the need for sample preparation. In the past, this technology was not useful for petroleum and petroleum-based products due to their high levels of high level of photoluminescence that can overwhelm Raman signals in all visible wavelengths. This issue is now resolved by BaySpec’s line of 1064 nm excitation dispersive Raman systems that offer maximum reduction in fluorescence interference.

Single-molecule microscopy techniques facilitate direct study of molecular mechanisms, enabling leaps in understanding surrounding how viruses assemble, disassemble, and interact with their hosts.

The Mako G-508B POL polarizer camera is equipped with the new Sony Polarsens™ 5.0 Megapixel IMX250MZR CMOS sensor that incorporates the latest four-directional polarization filter technology. This application note discusses this polarization filter technology and how it is used to visualize polarization defects, areas of stress, and to enable polarized light imaging without optical filters.

Ophir Optics group develops and delivers a wide range of IR complex lens assemblies with fixed, motorized focus, and zoom lenses to support UAV MWIR and LWIR imaging. These optics are designed to optimize the specific size, weight and power (SWAP) constraints of the UAV payload platforms for military, security and emerging UAV applications.

Ophir Photonics offers a series of wide spectral range photodiode laser measurement sensors for power ranges from 200 to 1800 nm within the UV and IR spectral ranges. Available models include the PD300-UV/IR without a filter for lowest powers from 200 to 1100 nm, the PD300-UV/IR with an installed filter for powers from 700 – 1800 nm, and the PD300-IRG for telecom wavelength fiber and free space measurements.

Through a combination of precision wavelength control, ultra-steep edges, deep blocking, and the industry's highest transmission levels, Alluxa’s ULTRA Series of hard-coated, thin-film optical bandpass filters will optimize the performance of a variety of instruments.
