Background An axial-flow pump (AFP) is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe. Cryogenic turbopumps (CTP) are the heart of a rocket engine. With today’s generation of reusable heavy launch space vehicles, CTPs supply pressurized subcooled fuel and oxidizer fluids, which mix and ignite to … Continue reading
PHILTEC specializes in the design of fiber optic sensor systems for measuring embedded objects in hard-to-reach targets. In March 2019, several dozen model D47 sensors were delivered with long fiber optic cables and very small 90° probes as seen here. The fiber optic cable lengths varied from 21 ft (6.4 m) to 55 ft (16.8 … Continue reading
A published paper by Hashimoto et al. (2018), entitled “Ultra-Broadband Rapid-Scan Fourier-Transform CARS Spectroscopy with Sub-10-fs Optical Pulses”, leverages the benefits of products from Novanta. The experimental set-up contains a venteon ultra oscillator from Laser Quantum. The paper demonstrates ultra-broadband Fourier-Transform Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (FT-CARS) spectroscopy. The technique spanned over 3000 cm-1, particularly useful … Continue reading
A recent paper in nature communications by Kim et. al. (2018), entitled “Photonic crystal cavities from hexagonal boron nitride” examines the development of a scalable quantum photonic technique. This technique utilises hexagonal boron nitride as a platform, while creating an advancement in nanophotonics based on van der Waals materials. The experimental setup uses the gem 532 … Continue reading
Photonis has received a contract to provide the German Army 1700 4G night vision binoculars with state-of-the-art image intensifier tubes. The Photonis 4G high Figure of Merit (FOM) image intensifier tubes will be integrated in the Theon Sensors new NYX binoculars to increase night driving maneuverability of the German Army. During night operations it is … Continue reading
In a paper by Nieves et al. titled “Photothermal Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy of Gold Nanoparticles in Solution and on Live Cells” (published by Royal Society Publishing), the ventus 532 is used as the excitation laser within the photothermal confocal microscope set-up. In the experiment, the Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS) technique enables observation of … Continue reading
