Optical Surfaces has reported how it is machining and polishing high precision Fibre Optic Channel Plates (FOCP) for an X-ray shielding application. Fibre Optic Channel Plates are widely used as optical devices to replace optical lenses because they require no focusing distance making them a suited component when creating a compact optical device.

MKS Instruments has announced that the Ophir Optics Group facility in Europe (Bucharest, Romania) is now AS9100D certified. The certification recognizes MKS' ongoing commitment to providing innovative, high quality thermal imaging solutions for electro-optical system manufacturers in the global aerospace and defense markets.

Allied Vision has integrated Sony's new innovative SenSWIR InGaAs sensors in its popular Goldeye SWIR camera series, making the cameras sensitive in both visible and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrums. 

Up to twelve COUNT photon counters can be simultaneously tested for key parameters thanks to Swabian Instruments who has supplied LASER COMPONENTS with a fully automated measuring station. This new technology now allows for continuous process optimisation thus accelerating the quality control of COUNT modules and improved the measurement accuracy, providing the highest confidence to customers with the lowest possible error toleranc...

Datalogic has announced that Newbaze Ireland Nutrition is using Datalogic’s MX-E processor, E100 cameras and Matrix 300N barcode readers for machine vision at its new facility in Carrickmacross, County Monahan. This facility is designed for dry blending of infant and follow-on milk formula.

Introducing Ensenso S, camera manufacturer IDS Imaging Development Systems has shown that the use of industrial-grade 3D technology does not have to be expensive. The 3D camera is particularly suitable for 3D applications that require budget-friendly, easy-to-integrate and industrial-grade camera technology.

Teledyne has introduced the latest additions to its Blackfly S GigE camera lineup – the BFS-PGE-161S7M and BFS-PGE-161S7C deliver a high-resolution sensor in a compact form factor, superior price to performance ratio and low-light performance.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it now offers a comprehensive range of laser diodes and modules for a wide range of applications. The new 1,470 and 1,550nm high power fibre coupled modules are suited for Endovenous Laser Treatment (ELT). ELT is a minimally invasive technique for treating varicose veins using high power NIR laser light to ablate the vein along its entire length.

Melexis has developed an intelligent OLED controller that integrates all of the active components needed to realise combined point (LED) and area (OLED) lighting applications inside and outside the vehicle. Each MLX81130 can drive 25 LEDs/OLEDs and it supports the Melexis Light Bus (MeLiBu) interface. It allows simpler static and animated lighting system development. It is especially suitable for Rear Combination Lamps (RCL) or small OLED display...

Lumileds has introduced the EU Ecodesign Tool, a web-based tool that provides detailed LED performance data lighting manufacturers need in order to comply with the European Union’s Ecodesign Directive. LUXEON LED users can view the data and a normalised spectrum on screen or choose to download a .csv file containing the same data seen on-screen.
