White Paper: Non-Invasive Biomedical Imaging With FD-OCT
6/16/2008
Current medical practice poses a constant demand for development of non-contact, minimally invasive imaging techniques that can be used in clinics and hospitals for early diagnostics of various diseases and as an alternative to standard excisional biopsy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a relatively novel imaging method that allows for non-invasive, cross-sectional imaging of the biological tissue structure with cellular level resolution and at depths of up to 1.5–2 mm below the surface.

Imaging In The Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) Spectrum Helps Track And Detect Lasers On The Battlefield
2/21/2008
As warfare becomes more asymmetric, civilians and other non-combatants become a larger percentage of the casualties, along with unintended property damage. The military, of course, hopes to avoid these types of casualties and destruction. With advancing technologies that enable more precision from their weapons, they also need better pointing and targeting capabilities, while remaining covert

Application Note: Characterization Of Motion In MEMS Devices Using Laser Doppler Vibrometry
9/14/2007
With the increased use of MEMS devices, characterization of their motion is becoming essential, both to evaluate their performance and to develop process improvement strategies. The addition of integrated functionality within MEMS devices, such as the incorporation of thin piezoelectric layers, is leading to novel devices that require detailed measurement and characterization, in environmental conditions representative of the operational state of the device
