A beam homogenizer, also called an optical homogenizer or diffuser, is an optical component that generates a uniform distribution from the input beam projected onto it. The laser homogenizer applies a random or quasi-random modification to a single-mode or multi-mode input beam to diffuse the irregularities. Therefore the output beam has a well-defined near constant … Continue reading
Glass is a hard yet fragile and delicate material. Using the right tool can reveal its full potential. Workshop of Photonics uses femtosecond laser micro-machining workstations to produce glass spacers, micro drilled glass, and packaging glass products. The foundations of these systems are femtosecond lasers from Light Conversion. To request more information or a quotation … Continue reading
Many of today’s systems from smartphones to LiDAR systems in autonomous vehicles contain optical elements. The continued trend towards technology miniaturization poses a challenge to the field of optics because classical lenses and mirrors tend to be bulky. One way of dealing with this challenge is the increased use of flat optics. Over the past … Continue reading
Herzan presents a new video, “Case Study: Removing Vibrations from a 3D Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope” demonstrating the benefit of Herzan’s TS-140 Active Vibration Control Table. In the words of their customer, Essilor USA: “Integrating the Herzan TS-140 with our Keyence VK-X350 Confocal Microscope has significantly reduced the noise due to vibration in our measurements. … Continue reading
Electro-Optics Technology (EOT) is proud to announce the release of the new PAVOS+ Ultra line of Faraday devices. These components offer roughly 1/10th the absorption and thermal lens focal shift. Also, they can theoretically provide ten times lower nonlinear refractive index compared to the standard PAVOS+ isolators. This results in less Kerr Lens focal shift … Continue reading
