  1. Near-Eye Display Solutions 12/27/2016

    Optics Blazers manufactures Near-Eye Display combiners and other components for optimized display performance and see-through properties. With an integrated manufacturing chain, this company can deliver single reflective surface, multiple reflective surface, free-form, or diffractive combiners. Optics Blazers’ solutions are developed with cost and scalability in mind to serve the competitive consumer electronics market.

  2. Short-Exposure, High-Power Sensors With Industrial Communications Protocol: Helios Plus 6/7/2016

    The Helios Plus measures high-power industrial lasers of up to 12 kW by measuring the energy of a short time exposure to this power. The laser is set to pulse from 0.3 to several seconds. It measures the energy and exposure time of this sample of the power, and from this calculates the power. By keeping the pulse energy under 5 kJ, there is no need for water cooling and the sensor can be kept to a compact size.

  3. Laser Line Mirrors 12/27/2016

    Optics Balzers has successfully developed and tested a special dielectric layer system with PARMS coating technology, making it possible to manufacture 45°-HR mirrors for 1030nm applications with an established destruction threshold of 0.44J/cm² at 210fs. These mirrors are typically used in ultra-short pulsed systems of Yb:YAG solid-state lasers.
