The world of optical fabrication has been completely transformed by the technique fluid jet polishing. Using this economical, computer controlled method, LightMachinery is able to create near perfect optical components routinely.
Virtually imaged phase arrays (VIPAs) (Figure 1) are a special kind of Fabry-Perot etalon composed of three unique coatings. An anti-reflection coated section represents a surface of a VIPA and is placed adjacent to a high reflector.
LightMachinery fabricates the finest solid and air spaced etalons in the world, including Gire Tournois etalons, piezo tunable etalons, air spaced etalons, and solid etalons.
Admesy's Rhea spectrometer offers high-end precision at an accessible price, ideal for R&D and production line spectral measurements.
Users can be faced with an uncertainty regarding the performance of their beam profilers and whether these profilers are measuring precisely. There is no standard calibration methodology where users can validate their camera-based beam profiling measurement precision.
The technological advancements in laser sources and systems has given industrial laser users the benefit of improved quality and more reliable laser processes.
In today’s renewable energy production, photovoltaic (PV) devices play a very important role.
