Vertically integrated optical system manufacturers can deliver on all aspects: material, finish, coating, assembly, testing and packaging.
Measuring symmetric aberrations in large departure aspheric surfaces to a nanometer precision using non-contact profilometry is discussed.
A thermal imaging zoom system has been developed for the mid wave infrared band with greater than 30X zoom range.
This article looks at the process of brillouin spectroscopy on a niobium pentoxide deposited on glass or a germanium substrate and the results that are gained.
This article looks at the process of brillouin spectroscopy on a common food wrap plastic film and the results that are gained.
