The requirements on drive technology are subject to change. The use of mobile applications is increasing; medical and measuring devices or camera systems are getting smaller and smaller and their performance characteristics are improving continuously. Compact drive systems with a resolution and repeatability in the micro or nanometer range are therefore required both in the products themselves and when they are being manufactured. Piezo ultrasoni...

CEA-Leti has demonstrated a path to fabricating high-density micro-LED arrays for next-gen wearable and nomadic systems in a process that is scalable to IC manufacturing. High-brightness enhanced-vision head-up displays (HUDs) can improve safety and performance in the aerospace and automotive fields, where the displays place key navigation data and information in a driver or pilot's line of sight.

Tektronix has joined OpTecBB, the competence network for optical technologies and micro-system technology in the region of Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany. By becoming a member of OpTecBB, Tektronix can now further support engineers testing optical communication components, modules and systems, especially with the DPO70000SX 70 GHz ATI Performance Oscilloscope.

A multifunctional photo IC, which integrates a colour sensor, a proximity sensor and a three-colour (RGB) LED onto a single flip-chip package has been introduced by Hamamatsu Photonics. The sensor is designed as a small, inexpensive and versatile device for use in smartphones and other such devices.

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a high-output ultraviolet LED light source that offers approximately 7 times the UV intensity of previous units for use in high-throughput UV printing applications. The LIGHTNINGCURE LC-L5G (part number: L12990-2303) provides the same level of output as metal halide lamps. It was made available to manufacturers of printing equipment on 1stApril 2015.

A wavelength beam-combining LD (Laser Diode) with a narrow spectral bandwidth of less than one eighth has been developed by Hamamatsu Photonics.This development was achieved by controlling the wavelength from two high-power LD stacks at the same time using a stripe mirror and single plane type volume bragg grating.

Quantum Composers has unveiled a mid-infrared laser featuring Stable Optical Parametric Oscillator (SOPO) technology, to bedisplayed at the upcoming World of Photonics tradeshow in Munich. This Mid-IR Laser was created in partnership with Bridger Photonics Lasers and features a small form factor combined with robust components to create a laser with high output energy and reduced shot-to-shot energy jitter.

Two key developments in the world of silicon photonics promise more efficient data centres. Sally Ward-Foxton reports.

Co-organised with Optech Consulting, LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015 again stages the 12th International Laser Marketplace. The seminar onlaser materials processing takes place on Wednesday 24th June, from 1pm to 5pm, in the conference room of the Press Centre West of the Messe München fairground. Worldwide leading experts will discuss international markets and market trends as well as new applications and technologies. The first International...

Imagine you need to have an almost exact copy of an object. Now imagine that you can just pull your smartphone out of your pocket, take a snapshot with its integrated 3-D imager, send it to your 3-D printer, and within minutes you have reproduced a replica, accurate to within micrometres of the original object. This feat may soon be possible because of a tiny high-resolution 3-D imager developed at Caltech.
