Optically compensated zoom lens for remote environments
For remote and hazardous environments where simple optical design offers significant benefits - Resolve Optics has developed a new optically compensated zoom lens design that vastly reduces the moving parts to just a single push pull movement.
Signify provides the benefits of natural light indoors
Signify has realised its first NatureConnect installation in the Netherlands, a natural light indoors innovation inspired by nature to boost employee wellbeing and productivity. At Van Rennes Elektro & Installatietechniek, they realised the possibilities of NatureConnect and its contribution to a more productive and natural office environment.
Gran Canaria installs Interact City on main highway
Signify is transforming Gran Canaria’s most important highway, known as GC-1, into a smart highway with Interact City. The Cabildo (council) of Gran Canaria has upgraded the lighting system to LEDs that provide a 2700K colour temperature. This supports its main objective of preserving the outstanding conditions for viewing the night sky as required by the Canarian Observatories.
UV-C LEDs: using light to fight viruses
The longer the coronavirus pandemic lasts, the more important it is to stay safe and healthy in everyday life. Hygiene measures, such as wearing a facemask or socially distancing, help safeguard against the spread of germs. But light in the right wavelength also makes an enormous contribution to fighting viruses. UV-C LED light can eliminate 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on surfaces, in the air and in drinking water.
Professional precision astronomy filters available
LASER COMPONENTS’ partner Omega Optical have a wealth of experience in the design and manufacture of precision astronomy filters for advanced imaging systems, and aim to meet the most demanding spectral requirements.
UV-C disinfection lighting brings additional safety
The last thing you need, is to worry about your health and safety during shopping. Unfortunately, amid the current pandemic this is all too much the reality for many grocery shoppers. Now, thanks to the installation of UV-C disinfection lighting from Signify, customers of EDEKA Clausen in Hamburg can rest assured that their retailer has their safety top of mind.
Superior narrow linewidth lasers for reliable performance
LASER COMPONENTS has announced that it offers a highly reliable superior narrow linewidth laser source supplied either as a butterfly package (PLANEX) which consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) that includes a Bragg grating or as an OEM version (ORION).
Invest in photonics now to fight future pandemics
Strong investment in photonics will help us fight infectious diseases that kill an unimaginable number of people and prepare us against future pandemics, says Dr Jürgen Popp of the Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) that is currently under construction in Jena.
Tunable LED pairing with ‘Circadian Tune’ functionality
NICHIA has announced a new and improved Circadian Tunable LED offering. This new tunable LED pairing has been developed to enhance the regulation of your Body Clock by combining both the stimulation and calming doses, in addition to colour tuning.
