Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are transforming traffic, law enforcement, and road safety management.

In laser material processing applications, monitoring the main beam in real time is often essential for precise control of the process. 

Chromacity reports how its tuneable ultrafast infra-red lasers are helping researchers characterise single photon detectors (SPDs), essential devices for applications including quantum key distribution, LiDAR, as well as sensing and characterisation of samples using fluorescence lifetime measurement.

In this blog, you'll discover how the right stop-arm cameras can enhance the safety levels in school buses. You’ll also find out why e-con Systems' RouteCAM_CU25_IP67 is a perfect choice for these vision systems.

Chromacity, a technological innovator in ultrafast infrared lasers, has been acknowledged in groundbreaking research conducted by Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, USA.

Researchers at EPFL discovered that by shining different wavelengths of light on a material called magnetite, they could change its state, making it more or less conducive to electricity. This finding could lead to the development of innovative materials for electronics.

A new project, launched by the EU under the Photonics Partnership and supported by Photonics21, is poised to transform space exploration and autonomous systems with new sensors that use tiny pulses of laser light to improve satellite navigation and earth observation.

Optical Surfaces has announced its large diameter aspheric lenses, used as critical focusing optics in high-power laser research.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced its range of pyroelectric DLaTGS detectors which are now available.

The conversion of light into electrical current is made possible by a crucial component – the photodiode.
