High Resolution, Miniature VIS-NIR Spectrometer
The NYLIS spectrometer from Avenir Photonics is the first compact Czerny-Turner array spectrometer offering resolutions down to 0.06 nm (FWHM). Based on the popular ARIS spectrometer, the NYLIS features a larger focal length of 120 nm in a longer housing. This enables better optical imaging as well as smaller wavelength ranges. Both result in spectral … Continue reading

Corona Discharge Detection in Power Lines
Invisible forces often tell the earliest stories of electrical failure. In high-voltage systems, a faint violet glow or soft hiss may seem harmless, but it signals corona discharge, an electrical phenomenon caused by ionized air surrounding charged conductors. Left unchecked, these early warnings can escalate into costly disruptions. Detecting the Unseen with Solar Blind UV … Continue reading
