Newport’s ISO-05-800-BB and ISO-08-800-BB Faraday Isolators are essentially uni-directional light valves or spectrally selective one-way mirrors. They are used to protect a laser source …
As traditional chip-level scaling is reaching its limits, an alternative is system-level scaling through system-in-package (SiP). Also known as 2.5D/3D packaging, SiP enables heterogenous …
The Project Workbook (FK-ADV-TEXT), when compared to its introductory predecessor Projects in Fiber Optics, is written as a technically more advanced manual, geared towards students …
Simple beam expanders are essentially telescopes which, in their most basic forms, consist of two lenses. The input beam is assumed to be collimated. The first lens must have a diameter …
The irradiance distribution of a laser beam is determined by the transverse modes that exit the laser cavity. Typically, the lowest-order transverse mode (TEM00) is selected for emission …
Given the different types of laser beam spatial distributions and their evolution as they propagate in free space and through optical elements, measurement of the beam profile is critical …
A non-contact method developed by MKS Ophir is based on Rayleigh scattering. Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light by particles that are smaller than the radiation's wavelength, …
The interaction of light with the atoms or molecules of a material is wavelength dependent. A consequence of this dependence is the resonant interactions related to material dispersion. …
Spatial filters provide a convenient way to remove random fluctuations from the intensity profile of a laser beam. This greatly improves resolution — which is especially critical for …
Precise control of polarization behavior is necessary to obtain optimal performance from optical components and systems. Characteristics such as reflectivity, insertion loss, and beamsplitter …
One super-resolution approach is called stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy. This technique uses a confocal microscope and a diffraction limited excitation beam that is …
Light is generated from a laser as a result of the following process: electrons in a material move from an excited energy level to a lower-lying energy level and produce photons that …
Only when performing optimally can laser systems guarantee the most cost-effective production of high-quality components. Even the smallest deviations in beam adjustment or focal position …
In CARS microscopy, the pump and Stokes beams are tightly focused into the sample and a CARS image is generated by scanning either the sample or the laser beams.
Flow cytometry is an analytical technique that can rapidly measure the properties of individual cells or particles as they pass through a beam of light, typically a laser.
As the trusted leader in laser beam profiling, Ophir provides a complete range of solutions for beam characterization for any wavelength, at any power and for any beam diameter. The …
The Gaussian has no obvious boundaries to give it a characteristic dimension like the diameter of the circular aperture, so the definition of the size of a Gaussian is somewhat arbitrary. …
An Optical Beamsplitter is an optic or optical device that is used to split a beam of light in two. Newport offers a wide variety of Beamsplitters in various shapes. Circular beamsplitters, …
Cylindrical Lenses focus or expand light in one axis only. They can be used to focus light into a thin line in optical metrology, laser scanning, spectroscopic, laser diode, acousto-optic, …
Plate beamsplitter mounts are designed to effectively manage beam transmission, beamsplitting angle and paths of both the reflected and transmitted beams.
