With its PIHera P-620 series, PI (Physik Instrumente) offers piezo-based positioning systems for versatile applications
Precision motion leader PI (Physik Instrumente) has introduced their new air bearing stage and system capabilities at this year's Photonics West conference
The attoDRY800 comes to bear: it consists of an ultra-low vibration cold breadboard platform extensively integrated into an optical table, hence making use of the before often unused space underneath it.
Trioptics presented its innovative MultiCentric Cementing Station for the first time at the SPIE Photonics West 2015. This device aligns and cements lens pairs quickly and precise. It is a further development of the well-established OptiCentric systems.
Tower Optical has announced the availability of a series of super large 3 inch, zero order waveplates, air spaced, with a clear aperture of 73mm. These waveplates are available in 4 inch mounting rings or unmounted
Aerotech QNP-XY series piezo nanopositioning stages provide the resolution, linearity, repeatability, and high dynamics required for the most demanding applications from microscopy to optics alignment
Heason Technology has signed an agreement with the UK manufacturer Zettlex Limited for sales and system integration of its IncOder range of non-contact, inductive angle encoders
piezosystem Jena has released the NV120 series of piezo controllers, which are excellent solutions for the control of piezoelectric actuators in dynamic applications
Piezosystem Jena has introduced the mirror tilting system, PSH25 OEM, for positioning optical components
It is well-established that digital encoder systems offer the highest precision for laser processing. A digital encoding innovation by SCANLAB can now remove existing limitations to dynamic performance

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
