1. Solid State Battery Research 8/25/2021

   Instead of traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid organic-based electrolytes, the spotlight is on solid-electrolyte batteries. These next-generation battery systems incorporate solid electrodes and electrolytes, which are safer and more energy-dense than their liquid counterparts. 

2. How To Specify A Custom-Designed Instrument 1/21/2020

   Customers with a clear-eyed view of the solution’s basic specifications, budget, and expected timeline are well-positioned for an efficient, effective custom design experience.

3. Implementing A Diving Bell On A Resonant Probe AFM/NSOM 8/27/2020

   Imaging live cells or other soft samples in a liquid buffer is uniquely challenging, but the diving bell technique can preserve both high Q factor and sample integrity.

4. How G&H Overcomes Lidar And Sensing Challenges To Make Remote Sense Of Earth And Space 7/13/2021

   Lidar (light detection and ranging) is pushing the boundaries of how we analyze, interpret, and understand both earth and space environments from afar – and G&H’s lidar solutions already underpin many international remote sensing projects and programs. 

5. Laser Applications In the Automotive Industry Demand Peak Performance Of Laser Measurement Instruments 6/30/2020

   The automotive industry is a demanding sector in which craftsmanship, precision and quality are indispensable.One wrong step can lead to catastrophic failures in a production line, where everything already works in harmony to obtain optimal results.

6. Laser Forensics: The Invisible, Revealed And Measured 7/6/2020

   According to the developers at Scanovis, brushes, powder and chemicals will soon be tools of the past for securing evidence at crime scenes. The company has developed a laser-based solution that, among other things, uses IR laser radiation to detect fingerprints at the scene of a crime, quickly making them visible in a 3D scan and recording them digitally. Decisive factors for this technological breakthrough are the precision of the results delivered by the laser scanner and the easy handling of the system. But how to adjust the optics of a system using a low power laser in the mid-infrared spectrum? Working together with Ophir's measurement experts, the company was able to combine different measurement methods to this end.

7. Specifying Plasma Deposited Hard-Coated Optical Thin Film Filters 6/18/2020

   This paper defines major filter types and discusses how to specify key attributes while also optimizing cost. The filter types discussed include band pass types of ultra-square high cavity count, ultra-narrow and soft coating replacements, and dichroic and polychroic tilted beamsplitter filters.

8. What Are The Benefits Of Low Iron Soda Lime Glass? 10/17/2019

   This article provides an overview of the benefits of low iron soda lime glass.

9. What Are Thin-Film Optical Filters? 6/16/2020

   Thin-film optical filters are made by depositing alternating thin layers of materials with special optical properties onto a substrate, such as optical-grade glass. As light makes its way through the optical filter, its direction changes as it passes from one layer to the next, resulting in internal interference.

10. In-Vivo Imaging In NIR-II / SWIR (600-1700nm) 6/3/2021

    Non-invasive fluorescence imaging of small animals has been a technique widely used for years as a method in preclinical research. Techniques have developed considerably in recent years, but still face a number of limitations.
