Automotive White Papers and Case Studies

  1. Laser Ablation Makes Automotive Interiors Shine 6/30/2015

    This application note describes how JUNO, the F150A-BB-26 thermopile laser power sensor, and StarLab measurement software are used to know the status of automotive etching equipment in order to keep the power beam stable.

  2. Clear The Air: New Optical Filters For Sensors And Detectors 4/2/2015

    Our world is increasingly monitored with sensors and detectors measuring things like air quality and IoT. Discover how this technology helps us better understand and interact with our environment.

  3. Liquid Silicone Rubber Takes The Heat 11/10/2014

    Unlike thermoplastics, which soften when heated, liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is created in high heat and can easily withstand high-heat applications.. This article discusses the merits of LSR, a comparison between thermoplastics and thermosets, and design considerations for LSR parts.

  4. Application Note: Energy-Efficient, Process-Reliable Mass Production Of Thermoplastic Automotive Components 9/20/2010
    Industrial series production of very large quantities of automotive components at one of Germany's largest automotive suppliers is a challenge. By Peter Bruns, Manager of Application & Technical Service, LIMO Lissotschenko Mikrooptik GmbH
  5. Application Note: CARS Microscopy 8/10/2010
    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.
