Fiber Lasers

The advantages of cladding pumping fiber lasers were identified early in the research era of fiber laser technology. Essentially, fiber lasers allow efficient brightness conversion from the broad area pump laser diode into a...

Progressive-Scan Cameras

No single image sensor will ever satisfy the diverse requirements of all industrial camera applications. The characteristics of higher resolution, faster speed, and a wide dynamic range are, however, increasingly...

Force/Torque Sensor Systems

Force/Torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robotic applications in electrical and mechanical assembly, product testing, material handling, and many other applications. A sensor system helps robots verify...

Advanced Near-Infrared Cameras

Many imaging applications in the near-infrared (NIR) region of the spectrum require sensors that see beyond the traditional charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor’s spectral range. A standard uncoated CCD detector...

Curved Focal Surfaces

Employing a leading-edge technology can fundamentally change the requirements on an optical design. This is true for a range of emerging technologies, including the curved electro-optical detector. Curved electro-optical...

Reduced Cladding Fibers

The adoption of reduced cladding thickness fibers by the telecom industry has greatly increased over the last year. In fact, almost every specialty fiber manufacturer has launched products aimed at the small form factor...
