Researchers have designed an optical filter on a chip that can process optical signals from across an extremely wide spectrum of light at once, something never before available to integrated optics ...

Alluxa, Inc., introduces a capability in extending the spectral optical coating performance. The innovative, next-generation SIRRUS™ plasma physical vapor deposition (PVD) platform offers full ...

Alluxa’s ULTRA Series thin films are specifically designed to be integrated into the most sophisticated instruments used in biotechnology, remote sensing, telecommunications, chemical engineering, ...

Tunable filters are optical filters that are suitable for applications requiring wavelength tuning. Two of their main specifications are the optical density (OD) and the out-of-band rejection. The ...

Several light sources produce light across various wavelengths. While this wavelength spectrum can be useful in lighting applications, other applications require light with a restricted visible ...

Optoelectronic components made of the semiconductor material silicon are sensitive to light with wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (UV), visible light, to near-infrared radiation (300-1100 nm).

Imaging equipment to observe the earth from space provides data for various uses. Wavelength-discriminated imaging at a considerable distance from the earth’s surface is the basic idea behind optical ...

Modern-day communications rely on both fibre-optic cables and wireless radiofrequency (RF) microwave communications. Reaching higher data transmission capabilities is going to require technologies ...

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real-time need high sensitivity and the most favorable signal-to-noise ratio possible. The bandwidth of excitation, center wavelength (CWL) and ...
