FROM THE EDITOR

Photonics' Role In Changing The Way We See Our Universe

From high-sensitivity detectors and adaptive optics to integrated spectrographs and space-qualified devices – photonic technologies are transforming our view of the Milky Way and beyond.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPACE & ASTRONOMY

Demonstrating Single Picometer Steps For Applications In Astronomy

Read how Mad City Labs demonstrated the capability to repeatably achieve a one-picometer movement with a piezo nanopositioner, and to accurately resolve that movement.

Lenses For CUBESAT

Imaging technologies are crucial for space exploration and CubeSats, enabling high-resolution Earth imaging, resource monitoring, disaster detection, and CubeSat performance enhancement.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

SWIR Images Monitor Air Quality From Space

The GHGSat’s microSat circles the Earth every 90 minutes, collecting infrared images. Find out how data from the microSat enables industries to monitor their own carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

Measurement Of Optical Filter Spectra

Accurate measurement of optical filter spectra is critical due to the limitations of standard metrology techniques. Let's explore various measurement approaches to address these challenges.

Improving DWDM Module Performance With Narrow Dual Band Pass Filters

Narrow dual band pass filters, designed and produced mostly for DWDM modules, improve a module’s total insertion loss by reducing the number of components used. 

Highly Precise Large Optics

Explore the applications and benefits of large precision optics that adhere to “high precision” quality standards and polishing up to 30 inches in diameter.
