𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓: New GEMultra DPSS Laser from Novanta | Precision Manufacturing More info: https://lnkd.in/eF_hWxsN Overcome DPSS 532 nm laser specification breakdown and sub-par performance with stable power output despite changes in operating or ambient temperatures. Engineered for the extreme with temperature fluctuation protection, greater power output, and impressive spectral stability from the new air-cooled design. The ideal solution for in-line Raman spectroscopy, metrology, and semiconductor inspection applications. #Photonics #Lasers

Kopin Corporation closed its previously disclosed $15 million strategic investment agreement with THEON INTERNATIONAL. In addition to the $15 million investment from THEON, the companies are in talks to enter a separately funded $8 million non-recurring engineering (NRE) agreement to co-develop a military-grade display. #Photonics #Displays Read more here: https://lnkd.in/esX2AD3p

For the first time, researchers have developed a programmable, nonlinear photonic waveguide that allows users to implement and switch between different nonlinear optical functions on a single device. The breakthrough was made by scientists at NTT RESEARCH, a division of NTT, in collaboration with researchers at Cornell University and Stanford University. #Photonics #Waveguides #Optics Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eg8jUjQu

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓: More Signal, Less Background from Iridian Spectral Technologies More info: https://lnkd.in/ePm4g2fd Iridian’s custom optical filters provide wavelength selectivity from the UV to LWIR to applications including communications (telecom/datacom/satcom), spectroscopy (Raman/ fluorescence/molecular diagnostics), sensing and imaging (gas detection/Earth observation/lidar). With high transmission and deep and broad blocking, our custom filter solutions and multizone filter arrays are designed and manufactured to optimize technical and commercial needs in our customers’ systems. #Photonics #Optics #Filters

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓: The VIPA: A Resolution Revolution from LightMachinery More info: https://lnkd.in/egfGje3H To resolve spectral features at 0.5 picometers, traditional echelle spectrometers need to be massive — four to five times larger than the HyperFine Spectrometer from LightMachinery. VIPAs pack high angular dispersion into an ultra-compact form, enabling LightMachinery’s HyperFine Spectrometers to deliver echelle-level resolution in a fraction of the footprint (and cost) — with higher throughput and faster acquisition. #Photonics #Spectroscopy

📰 A volatile geopolitical landscape was one of several pressing topics on the docket at this year’s Global Photonics Economic Forum from Optica. All this while China announces new export restrictions on rare earths that will likely to be felt throughout the photonics industry. Here are the other big stories we're covering this week on Photonics Spectra Now: 🤝Excelitas Technologies Corp. has just agreed to acquire Luxium Solutions, and THEON INTERNATIONAL will take over a nearly 10 percent stake in electro-optical company, Exosens. 🧑💼ASML has appointed Marco Pieters as its Chief Technology Officer, and TOPTICA Photonics has appointed Matthias Hohenleutner as its Vice President of Production. 💰 In Rochester, industry leaders are investing heavily in the future of photonics at Monroe Community College. 🦾 And SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics #Optifab2025 returns next week!

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓: Optical Splice from Norland Products More info: https://lnkd.in/e-iKe5Rg Norland’s optical splice provides a high-performance connection for optic fibers in a unique one-piece design. #Photonics #Fiber #Splicing

A newly-developed, handheld optical sensor could make Alzheimer’s disease easier to detect in its early stages, when treatments for the disease are most effective. The photonic resonant sensor is the result of a collaboration among researchers at the University of York, the University of Strathclyde, and the USP - Universidade de São Paulo. #Photonics #Sensors #Alzheimers Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ezTZjRZM

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐓: Nanochrome™ IV PARMS from Intlvac More info: https://lnkd.in/e-Pf2dWC The Plasma Assisted Reactive Magnetron Sputtering (PARMS) platform enables ultra-pure, low-loss coatings from UV to mid-IR with exceptional uniformity and virtually zero downtime. More scalable and cost-effective than IBSD or e-beam, PARMS supports high layer counts, long runtimes, and complex designs. Ideal for defense, telecom, waveguides, laser optics, X-ray mirrors, and more. #Photonics #Optics #Coatings
