Hamamatsu Photonics
Hamamatsu will be launching the latest addition to its Mini Spectrometer Module product family, the TM series, C10082MD and C10083MD.
The new TM spectrometer modules use a similar transmission grating optical arrangement to the existing TG range, additionally incorporating a focusing mirror to provide high optical throughput and high sensitivity.
The C10082MD is optimised for UV-VIS operation in the 200nm to 800nm waveband, and the C10083MD operates from 320nm to 1000nm.
All modules consist of a palm-top size polychromator integrated with optical elements, a photodiode array optimised for the required wavelength range, and an image sensor driver circuit. The standard spectrometer module ../includes an integrated USB interface to allow simple PC connection and data acquisition. It is supplied with sample software, allowing the user to set measurement conditions, acquire and save data and display it graphically. This makes it quick and easy to start taking basic spectral measurements. Optionally, the company can supply the modules without the USB interface for OEM customers.
The new miniature spectrometer modules are ideal for applications such as UV-VIS spectrometry, colour measurement, fluorescence measurements, life science, tooth decay analysis, medical diagnostics, in-line product inspection and many more.

Laser Quantum
Laser Quantum, the UK-based DPSS laser manufacturer, will be displaying its OEM femtosecond Ti:S pump-source, the Opus, at the Photonics West exhibition this year.
The Opus is a 2W, 532nm laser with a near diffraction-limited beam (M2<1.1). The head is designed to be highly resilient and the switch-mode driven power supply - the smd6000 - is compact, silent and extraordinarily efficient, generating very little waste heat.
As a result of the high mode-quality, the Opus is also extremely quiet, with a noise specification of <1 per cent (1-5MHz), and long-term stability <2 per cent rms.
The cavity is permanently aligned using stress-free optical mounts and the head itself is machined from a single block of aluminium, which is thermally relaxed to ensure no misalignment due to strain. In addition, all critical components are thermally regulated using PID temperature controllers to maintain optimum performance. Finally, the pump diode is Coherent manufactured Aluminium-free Active Area (AAA), giving an unparalleled lifetime.
The Opus is designed specifically for ultra-fast, OEM applications, complementing its sister products, the Finesse 4W and 6W 532nm lasers.

Miniflex
Miniflex provides solutions for protecting and managing optical fibres and fibre optic cables. The company's Fibre Bend Limiting Tube (FBLT) offers the ultimate protection to fibres, thus eliminating problems such as crushing, kinking, macro and micro bending, while supplying an entire, self-managing solution for the routing of the fibre. FBLT is hard plastic tubing which is made flexible through the unique and patented Miniflex process. It offers a very hard protective covering for fibre optics that is nevertheless flexible and easy to install. FBLT also has a smooth bore, which is crucial to avoiding damage to the fibre. Core to the technology is the bend protection, since all transmission signals in fibre optics fail if the fibre is bent too tightly.
FBLT is available in many sizes and, with a range of tough, stable, Underwriters Laboratories-rated fire retardant and low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) materials, can provide solutions for the majority of user environments. Miniflex also offers a wide variety of fibre management accessories to complement FBLT, ranging from its compact flat manifold to its modular, stackable storage tray system.

Quality Laser Optics
Situated in the Isle of Man, Quality Laser Optics is a manufacturer of high quality laser optics. Specialist fields are very flat optics, large optics and high laser damage threshold optics. At 2150mm diameter the company has the largest continuous pitch-polishing machine in the UK. This allows the company to precision-polish large optics in excess of one metre diameter. In addition, the company has recently purchased a 2438mm diameter machine.
In order to have the best conditions possible, the testing room has been custom-built, with separate foundations from the main building to minimise any vibration. Interferograms from the company's 12-inch zygo interferometer will give customers the confidence that the company's quality is more than adequate for their requirements. Great care is taken to make sure that every optic that leaves the facility meets the strict requirements of customers. Inspection techniques have been developed by listening to customers' needs and investing in equipment that can guarantee these needs are met.
Quality Laser Optics can supply standard optics from stock with a fast delivery. The company will work with you from the prototype stage through to production quantities.

Specialised Imaging Ltd
Specialised Imaging has taken the imaging of fast events a step nearer to perfection with the introduction of the SIM framing camera. Many years of experience, supported by an extensive knowledge of high-speed image capture, have been channelled into this design to provide researchers with a framing camera of unsurpassed performance.
Unlike other cameras that use intensified CCDs and optical beamsplitters, the SIM design has overcome many of the optical limitations that reduce resolution and image quality. Mating ultra-high resolution ICCDs with a purpose-designed beam splitter has resulted in dynamic resolution in excess of 50lp/mm and 12-bit dynamic range. No additional adaptation of the optical system is required for microscopy or Schlieren imaging.
Individual sensors have been preferred to provide a true 8- or 16-channel camera, avoiding the need for re-triggering and the associated reduction in sensitivity and image quality. A unique feature of this imaging system is an auxiliary optical port that shares the primary optical axis and allows simultaneous use of high-speed video or streak cameras. Laptop control over Ethernet and comprehensive software completes the package while an integral high-resolution monitor allows local focusing and subject composition without the need to return to the control computer.
