Precision Glass & Optics, global experts in optical manufacturing, customized optical solutions, and precision thin film coatings, announces a line of precision optical thin film coatings for industrial applications.
This Proto Labs white paper demonstrates the importance of selecting the best prototyping process for every project, including the pros and cons of each process, attribute comparisons, and impact on time-to-market.
This year’s Nobel Laureates are rewarded for having invented a new energy-efficient and environment-friendly light source – the blue light-emitting diode (LED). In the spirit of Alfred Nobel the Prize rewards an invention of greatest benefit to mankind; using blue LEDs, white light can be created in a new way. With the advent of LED lamps we now have more long-lasting and more efficient alternatives to older light sources.
Scientists from the University of Basel’s Department of Physics and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute have succeeded in dramatically improving the quality of individual photons generated by a quantum system.
Edmund Optics (EO), the premier provider of optical components to both industry and academia, announced recently the finalists for its 2012 Higher Education Global Grant Program. The potential grant recipients were chosen from over 750 applications received globally from candidates representing 53 countries.
UK scientists have used a laser beam trap to examine how drug particles from asthma inhalers behave as they are projected through the air.
MKS Instruments, Inc. recently announced new additions to the Ophir® Integrating Sphere series of products. Designed for measuring divergent and collimated light sources, such as laser diodes and LEDs, the Ophir Integrating Spheres are integrating sphere and photodiode sensor systems for measuring the optical power of divergent, narrowband light sources. The series includes three precisely calibrated spheres that measure powers from 20nW to as high as 30W.
