Photonics Medical Application Notes

  1. NDT In Composite Materials With Flash, Transient, And Lockin Thermography 2/16/2012

    Composites are now used in everything from aircraft to prosthetics. By Markus Tarin and Ralph Rotolante

  2. Single Photon Counting With A Focus On Biomedical Applications 3/22/2011

    Over the past few years a growing number of companies have come to rely on Photon Counting for applications that range from particle sizing, atmospheric studies and advanced forms of biomedical research. By Excelitas Technologies

  3. Technical Note: High-Precision Micromachining 9/16/2008
    Laser micromachining is a large and rapidly-growing application area for pulsed lasers. In fact, the general application area of materials processing forms the largest single application market for all lasers sold. Microelectronics in particular is one of the largest industry sectors that uses laser micromachining for a variety of applications including mask repair, chip repair, linkblowing, wafer processing, via-hole drilling and others. Pulsed lasers that are widely used include excimer lasers and Qswitched solid-state lasers such as Nd:YAG and Vanadate systems. By IMRA America, Inc.
  4. Application Note: Design For Manufacturability (DFM) In The Life Sciences 3/19/2010
    The inherently interdisciplinary nature of developing instrumentation for the life sciences requires a high level of collaboration between scientists and engineers across the fields of analytical or clinical chemistry, optics, mechanics, material science and microbiology. By Edward Freniere, Ph. D., Richard Hassler, Linda Smith from Lambda Research Corporation; Eric Heinz from Heinz Optical Engineering Company;
  5. Flexible Fluorescence Technical Tip 1/22/2013

    Fluorescence is one of the most beautiful phenomena in nature, as fascinating to us today as it was for early scientists. It occurs throughout nature: gemstones, minerals, chlorophyll and even crude oil residues fluoresce. And though fluorescence began as a field of scientific study, it has evolved and matured into a technique that now enables entire fields of cutting-edge science and medicine.

  6. Lenses For Diagnostics 10/13/2023

    Medical diagnostics rely heavily on imaging technologies that allow physicians to examine and assess a patient's body structures and functions in great detail.

  7. Application Note: Detection Of Hydrocarbon Radicals During Plasma Etching 4/16/2010

    Optical emission spectroscopy is used to study and monitor the plasma etching of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films. T.A.R. Hansen and R. Engeln, Eindhoven University of Technology

  8. Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Imaging: A Basic Overview With An Emphasis On The Optics Required 5/11/2012

    Coherent anti-­Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) imaging is a nonlinear optical technique that captures intrinsic molecular vibrations to create optical contrast. It offers submicron level spatial resolution and video-­speed imaging rate without the needs for extrinsic labels. In a CARS process, a pump laser, a Stokes laser and a probe laser (usually same as the Pump laser) are involved.
