Nanopositioning industry leader PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. will be showcasing the newly released A-311 PIglide IS Series compact, planar XY air bearing stage at SPIE Photonics West– the world’s largest conference on photonics related technologies. The stage is designed to deliver extremely precise and vibration-free motion, making it ideal for metrology, wafer inspection, laser marking, and other precision motion applications.

PI (Physik Instrumente) introduces a new compact linear stage – the L-509. Providing high precision linear motion with minimized runout, this positioner delivers performance and reliability at minimized cost. It has applications in research and industrial applications, including beamline systems, microscopy, semiconductor manufacturing, and photonics instrumentation.

"Beam me up, Scotty" - even if Captain Kirk never said this exact phrase, it remains a popular catch-phrase to this day. Whenever the chief commander of the television series starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) wanted to go back to his control centre, this command was enough to take him back to the control centre instantly - travelling through the infinity of outer space without any loss of time.

Demonstrating a strategy that could form the basis for a new class of electronic devices with uniquely tunable properties, researchers at Kyushu University were able to widely vary the emission color and efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes based on exciplexes simply by changing the distance between key molecules in the devices by a few nanometers.

Laird has launched a series of easy-to-use temperature controllers specifically designed for closed loop feedback control of Thermoelectric Assemblies (TEAs). The PR-59 series proportional controller is configurable and can be integrated into a system with a minimal amount of programming, allowing design engineers to shorten product development and move products to market faster.

Leti will host a workshop from on the 16th of February, during SPIE Photonics West, focusing on some of its recent developments in photonics applications. Leti researchers also will present four invited papers, 14 overall, during the Feb. 13th-18th conference in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

The AQ6376 Optical Spectrum Analyser (OSA) from Yokogawa is claimed to set a new ‘world standard’ for grating-based OSA capabilities in measuring signals with a wavelength beyond 3µm, designed to operate in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) as well as in the mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) regions.

Researchers at UC San Diego think they might have found the way to faster internet: lasers."As we are trying to fit more and more data on wires that we send from place to place, we are running up against the limit of what electricity can do," said Janelle Shane, an alumna of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.

Scientists at the University of Southampton have made a major step forward in the development of digital data storage that is capable of surviving for billions of years. Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the University's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have developed the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional (5D) digital data by femtosecond laser writing.

At SPIE Photonics West, imec will present a new set of hyperspectral sensor and camera solutions with extended spectral range, going from the visible light (VIS) up to near infrared (NIR). The new line-scan VNIR (visible to near-infrared) sensor and snapshot mosaic VNIR camera outperform current solutions in spectral range and compactness.
