InGaAs is an alloy of gallium arsenide and indium arsenide and is a III-V compound semiconductor. Creating this material is a complicated process, so why go through all the trouble? This article discusses InGaAs in detail and offers benefits for using this technology for SWIR and other imaging applications.
Teaming up with a skilled micro molder with design expertise and advanced equipment can aid manufacturers in crafting intricate optical components for medical devices.
PI offers a broad catalog of rotary, R-Theta, and linear stages and application-specific engineered systems, including granite motion systems, based on air bearing and mechanical bearing designs.
To ensure that it was using the best equipment for the task, a company that develops innovative virtual reality (VR) solutions turned to Zygo, the leading optical metrology innovator.

Polarization metrology includes techniques like ellipsometry, circular dichroism, and transmission polarimetry. Mueller matrix polarimetry unifies these techniques for applications using a single system.
When creating a filter solution, the manufacturer considers user-requested values and incorporates extra margin to accommodate functional and manufacturing effects like edge steepness and nonuniformity.
Combining piezo stages and linear motors can significantly improve micro-hole laser drilling performance. This demonstration looks at high-density 30 µm micro-holes in glass.
OCI-1000 series VIS-NIR hyperspectral imaging cameras are extremely compact, light, and rugged. They cover the visible to near-infrared (VIS - NIR) spectral range from 470 – 1,000 nm.
OSI Optoelectronics provides three dual sandwich detectors, including the silicon-silicon option, where shorter wavelength photons are absorbed in the top silicon photodiode and longer wavelength photons are absorbed by the bottom photodiode.
The Phantom T4040 captures 4 Mpx resolution images at speeds not previously possible. Our proprietary sensor with back side illuminated (BSI) architecture ensures 40 Gpx/s data throughput is sustained and a max frame rate of 440,000 fps.
DSI’s photolithography capability produces patterned thin film coatings (including bandpass filters, absorption coatings, and metals) on substrates up to 6 inches.
