White papers
Pro-Lite’s Robert Yeo reviews the science of integrating spheres and explains how they are used in reflectance spectroscopy.
Long wave infrared (LWIR) spectroscopy is of great interest to spectral geologists.
An ultraviolet (UV) hyperspectral camera was used to capture spectroscopic images, showing UV reflectance signatures that are not detectible with human vision.
Webcasts
Constraints in traditional manufacturing techniques have historically been a primary factor in the limited integration of freeform and aspheric mirrors into optical systems.
Interest in blue laser diodes has grown rapidly in recent years due to encouraging results in applications as diverse as advanced laser projection and material processing
In this webinar, Jeremy Lane, managing director for ProPhotonix, will explain how customised laser diodes can be the most cost-effective answer in meeting application needs
