The ODD-APD-002 avalanche photodiode delivers high responsivity, low noise, and fast response for precise 905 nm LiDAR, ToF, and autonomous sensing applications across automotive and industrial systems.

Explore customized thin-film optical coatings for cockpit LED displays, enhancing pilot visibility by controlling viewing angle and stray light for superior readability in challenging lighting, including nighttime conditions.

Any background light that reaches the detector of an optical system can greatly compromise signal-to-noise ratio. Using more than one blocking filter is a solution that requires careful consideration.

Beware “megapixel” lens marketing: sensor pixel size and format—not megapixel counts—determine true imaging performance. Choosing lenses by resolution, MTF, and image circle avoids costly system mismatch.

Ultra-narrow filters deliver near-100% transmission and exceptionally square profiles in the visible and NIR, enabling superior performance for laser cleanup, LiDAR, telecom, and precision instrumentation applications.

Explore the challenge of monitoring laser power within micromachining systems—using short, ultra-short pulse, and UV lasers—to maintain stringent quality standards and minimize defects.

With over 20 years of experience in optical micromolding, ultra-precise lens-to-lens centricity is achieved in 125 µm fiber arrays, meeting the industry’s most demanding tolerances.
