SENSORS & DETECTORS VIDEOS

  • Gentec-EO advances laser measurement technology, providing solutions for accurate laser performance in various applications. Their customized instruments help improve productivity, safety, and research outcomes.

  • This tutorial demonstrates using PC-Gentec-EO software for accurate power measurements, including wavelength setting, zero calibration, measurement modes, data acquisition, and noise filtering with energy detectors.

  • This demo video demonstrates fully corrected SWIR continuous zoom imagery using a 10µm pixel VGA sensor whose smaller FPA and pixel results in narrower FOV and smaller IFOV.

  • On day two of Photonics West 2022, Toby Reid with Gooch & Housego discussed how their fiber optic components can be integrated into lidar systems for applications involving distributed fiber sensing, atmospheric sensing, and remote sensing.

  • The second generation of the INTEGRA is a meterless line of all-in-one detectors that combine a detector and a meter in one device that lugs directly into your PC. Each detector of the INTEGRA series offers the same incredible performance as the usual detector and meter combination, from pW to kW and from fJ to J. For a brief introduction on this product, watch the video.

  • On the last day of SPIE’s 2016 DCS exhibition in Baltimore, Kevin Fogarty with Canon showed us a 19 micron pixel pitch sensor that can achieve a full color and high definition image in extremely low light environments.

  • Marco Snikkers wrapped up our Photonics West 2016 coverage by introducing us to a pixel sensor that acts as an 8-channel spectrometer for biomedical, fluorescence marking, and colorimeter applications, as well as a multi-spectral camera that can monitor specific wavelengths in real-time.
