The most space saving option for stable mounting of optical components has been introduced by Newport Corporation; the PX series of forkless pedestals and posts. Forkless optical mounting posts and pedestals have a unique internal slotted base allowing them to be directly mounted to optical tables or breadboards without a clamping fork.

Newport Corp has introduced its Guardian Series of active isolation workstations. With vibration isolation performance starting at 0.5 Hz, Newport’s workstation is ideal for high resolution microscopy, metrology and other applications requiring super low frequency isolation. Guardian is said to be an easy to use, fully integrated work station that requires only a minimum of installation and maintenance while providing unmatched vibrati...

A line of hexapods, from Newport, has had RightPath trajectory control added as a new standard feature. The added feature resolves a problem inherent in most parallel kinematic motion devices – the run-out along the trajectory in the user’s coordinate system. 

Oriel Instruments, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces the new fully integrated TLS Series Tunable Light Source. The compact and easy-to-operate system delivers up to 0.6 nm resolution of monochromatic light in a broad tunable spectral range from 250 nm to 2,400 nm. The TLS systems are an economical solution for researchers who need the flexibility of a modular light source with the simplicity of an integrated system. All TLS Series Tunable L...

Ophir Photonics, a Newport Corporation brand, today announced at Photonics West, the Quasar App, the first mobile application that displays laser meter data on Android devices. The Quasar App connects to Ophir's Quasar device via Bluetooth. Once connected, the App displays power readings from the laser measurement sensor that is connected to the Quasar device within a range of 10 meters.

New Focus, a Newport Corporation Brand, introduces the GHz Nirvana High Speed Receiver, the world's only photoreceiver with automatic balancing. The new GHz Nirvana features 2000 times higher bandwidth and new fiber coupling, along with completely automatic signal balancing. Our patent-pending auto-balance feature allows elimination of background noise from dynamically changing systems, including thermal drift and wavelength dependence, allowing ...

Spectra-Physics announces the issuance of U.S. patent 7,962,046 for its DeepSee technology for multiphoton imaging. Used in both the industry-leading Mai Tai® DeepSee and the recently announced InSight™ DeepSee products, the pioneering technology enables automated, deep 3-D imaging of live tissue in neuroscience, cell biology, and other advanced biological applications.

Newport Corporation announces the 1830-R Optical Power Meter. A newly designed optical meter, the 1830-R provides a ‘drop-in’ replacement for Newport’s legacy 1830-C Power Meter which has been widely used in fiber optic component production and testing.

Newport Corporation announces the LAKIT Series, a new family of laser power alignment tuning kits. Ideal for laser tuning and alignment in research setups, the kit includes the new 1917-R laser power meter and a broad selection of optical detectors, making it easier for the researcher to match the laser type.
