At Envin Scientific we design and manufacture High Performance Optical Thin Film Filters for UltraViolet, Visible and Infrared Applications.
The design, manufacture and validation is carried out on-site at our purpose-built premises near Chester (UK) by an expert team with years of experience.
Veeco Instruments' Spector ion beam sputtering optical coating system has been installed at Gooch & Housego's Moorpark, California facility
The latest dark mirror coatings from Deposition Sciences improve signal-to-noise ratio and contrast in demanding optical systems, such as performance imaging, displays, and hyperspectral sensor
As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
Newly discovered fundamental rules have been embedded into software to dramatically optimise the design of photonic integrated circuits
