Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers in DToF
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it offers a wide range of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diodes. These VCSELs offer high performance at a relatively low price and are ideal for a wide range of range finding and 3D detection applications. High power VCSEL pulsed laser diodes are available with output powers up to 50W and are ideal for Direct Time of Flight (DToF) applications.
Optical windows for wind tunnel aerodynamic testing
Optical Surfaces has produced large diameter, high precision windows for wind tunnel aerodynamic testing. Aerodynamicists and engineers use wind tunnels to test models of proposed aircraft and engine components. During a test, the model is placed in the test section of the tunnel and air is made to flow past the model.
ModBox-Front-End solution for optical pulse shaping
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it offers iXblue’s ModBox-Front-End turnkey system as a solution for optical pulse shaping, offering the finest performance for the end user by integrating screened and selected components that are controlled by a dedicated software interface for intuitive control to provide reliable and stable operation.
Mola N3 dash cam with ultra HD quality and sense reality
DDPAI has announced the launch of its ultra HD dash cam, the Mola N3. With the number of cars increasing, dash cams are becoming a new favourite gadget for drivers to ensure that they can capture crucial evidence in the event of an incident and quickly resolve any disputes by recording their entire journey.
Laser optics customisation to meet specific requirements
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it manufactures laser optics that are optimally adapted to meet the customer’s requirements. This not only applies to series production but to the individual lenses and mirrors produced in house as well. From substrate production and coatings to a thorough outgoing goods inspection, all operating steps are carried out in house.
AI-powered smarthome camera uses dual lenses for dark environments
EZVIZ has announced the launch of its most advanced and highly anticipated outdoor smarthome camera, the C3X. Thanks to dual-lens camera setup, C3X produces colour video in extremely dark environments (lab test result: 0.005 lux condition), without turning on the spotlight. As a result, C3X users see authentic details in night time images, such as the colour of clothes and cars, which are routinely lost in traditional security cameras.
Drivers for high-power continuous wave laser diodes
PicoLAS introduced two new drivers of the LDP-CW 250-40 series to offer efficient control of high-performance continuous wave laser diodes. The electronics are housed in an ultra-compact casing and achieve an output power of 10kW at a power density of 5W/cm³. At an efficiency of 94%, both models generate a maximum output current of 250A and an output voltage of up to 40V.
Optical corrector for WEAVE multi-object spectrograph
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING) have accepted delivery from SENER Aeroespacial of the Prime Focus Corrector (PFC) optical corrector for the WEAVE Multi-object spectrograph of the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), located on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain).
CW visible doped fibre laser from Laser Components
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it now offers Lumibird’s CW Visible Fibre Lasers (CVFL series), the frequency converted ytterbium and/or erbium-ytterbium doped fibre lasers designed to provide fixed wavelength outputs from 520nm to 790nm. We provide 520, 532, 546, 560, 577, 642, 660 and 780nm as standard wavelengths and output power up to 3W.
APD drive electronics from Laser Components
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it now offers a wide range of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with performance optimised for different signal levels, spectral ranges, bandwidths, temperatures and volumes. These extremely sensitive detectors can detect light levels down to single photons and are widely used in automotive, medical defence and scientific markets.
