Category: Application Notes

A bessel lens consists of axicon lenses and two sets of focusing lenses. The collimated light passes through the axicon lens to form the bessel beam.

Precision laser applications require fine power control. A variable beam splitter with a large dynamic range and precision control is designed to fulfill this purpose.

When high-voltage equipment discharges electricity, arc discharge may occur depending on the electric field strength, during which electrons in the air continuously gain & release energy, emitting UV rays.

Short-wave infrared (SWIR) light is a second of the electromagnetic spectrum typically in the 0.9μm to 2.5μm range and is therefore invisible to the human eye.

One of the technology engines in high value-add photonics service is in the area of high-power lasers and applications, ranging from scientific to precision material processing.

Chalcogenide material is gradually taking over Germanium in the broad IR regime. It performs especially well within the 8 to 12μm range due to its lowest absorption and dispersion in LWIR.

Micro-lenses are sub-micrometer lenses (often up to 10 microns), typically made with fused silica due to its excellent transmission characteristics of UV to IR rays.

Mid-IR regime is proven to have rich absorption “finger-prints” of materials, demonstrated by benchtop measurement tools, such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer.

Image processing capability integrated together, with optical/mechanical/electronics capabilities, can deliver system-level solutions for the manufacturing industry.

Mid-IR borescope is an imaging instrument with customizable requirements for clear inspection of hard-to-access areas, such as boiler tubes, furnace walls, etc.
