This will open doors to further research on achieving early detection and pathological elucidation of dementia
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is an atomic emission spectroscopy technique that uses a short laser pulse to create a micro-plasma on a sample surface. It is used for the rapid chemical analysis of materials in a host of industrial applications. This white paper introduces a very compact, air-cooled, pulsed laser and demonstrates how it can be effectively used in conventional LIBS experimental set-ups for identifying metals.
4D Technology has added to its line of PhaseCam dynamic interferometers, supported by the release of 4Sight Focus acquisition and analysis software
We review factors that contribute to output pulses of PIN photodetectors tending to have a longer fall time than rise time. Factors include photocarrier transit effects, diffusion current, saturation, and circuit design.
A team of researchers has developed an improved non-contact, laser-based method for generating ultrasonic waves for non-destructive testing applications
Multiple Photonics firms made announcements in July revealing their collaboration with three different space missions
Broadband monitoring with high signal quality enables use of both broadband and monochromatic layer termination algorithms in the same process when depositing optical interference coatings. Case studies using a bandpass filter and an absorbing layer show how such a “hybrid” approach can lead to the most accurate layer termination.
