In this application note a Raman microscope, with a heated stage, is used to observe phase transitions in two polymers - polyethylene and nylon-6.

High progress in optoelectronics technology, especially designed for infrared wavelength region (IR), is observed. The use of various spectroscopic methods allows to obtain detailed information on the chemical analysis of the leaking gas. Each of the spectroscopy methods is dedicated to different types of concentration measurements. We encourage you to read the article that explains and presents laser gas leak detection with infrared.

This paper explains how to use the MID-IR linear detector array in the sorting area. High performance optical sorting systems are the main application of multielement detectors. Optical sorting can be used in the mining, food, chemical and pharmacological industries.

Due to climate change, population growth and many other factors, farms will need to adapt to ever-worsening conditions. Spectroscopy plays a key role in developing the future of these farms.

Controlling the quality and yield of crops will be crucial elements of increased food production. Growing crops in greenhouses and vertical farms (greenhouse factories) will allow us to better control the process of growing food and, in the case of vertical farms, move food production closer to the consumer (vertical farms can be integrated into existing structures such as warehouses). In greenhouses, LEDs are a popular lighting option to provide the spectral energy to crops for photosynthesis and other growth processes.

This whitepaper will explore how optical sensing is used for real-time monitoring of LED greenhouse lighting, and how this can be used to manage colour and power output.
