Silicon pin photodiode enhances bio sensor performance
Vishay Intertechnology has broadened its optoelectronics portfolio with the introduction of a new high speed silicon PIN photodiode with enhanced sensitivity to visible and infrared light.
3G-SDI and analogue YPbPr interface for block cameras
AIVION has announced the TL7055, a small form factor 3G-SDI/HD-SDI plus analogue YPbPr output video transmitter for zoom block cameras with an industry-standard LVDS interface. The Interface Board TL7055 can be mounted on the back of the camera.
Lenses & optical systems for challenging environments
Producing a lens or optical system for challenging environments, such as aerospace, industrial or military use requires careful consideration of its resistance to vibration, shock, temperature and water ingress in addition to ensuring high reliability and top performance.
UV-C disinfection lighting safeguards players
Signify has announced that it is supporting a safe future for stadium sports by installing UV-C disinfection lighting at The Stoop, home of English Gallagher Premiership Rugby Union Club Harlequins. Signify’s UV-C Partner Powercor has installed 11 UV-C disinfection upper air units in the Honours Bar.
Optical wavelength splitter eliminates DWDM power meters
TEMPO’s recently launched optical wavelength splitters allow a standard powermeter (OPM) to be able to measure signal levels in WDM networks. The wavelength splitter OWS200 splits multiplexed wavelengths found in NGPON2 networks (Next Generation Passive Optical Networks) also known as TWDM-PON.
Temperature-stable pyroelectric LTO detectors available
LASER COMPONENTS’ LT3111 series pyroelectric LTO detectors (lithium tantalate detectors) are especially suited for Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The core of this new detector series is a 7-µm-thick chip. Compared to other materials, LTO is extremely temperature stable and robust.
APD and SPAD devices enhanced with photon detection
X-FAB Silicon Foundries has just introduced its latest generation of avalanche photodiode (APD) and single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) devices. Leveraging its proven automotive-qualified 180nm XH018 high-voltage process, X-FAB’s new APDs and SPADs benefit from innovative architectural modifications, with substantial improvements in performance exhibited compared with the company’s earlier devices (which were initially announced back...
TEMPO solutions for fibre testing in harsh environments
Fibres are commonly used for deployment in environments with high levels of electrical interference (EMI). To carry out installation and maintenance measurements requires test instruments that can operate in such environments. TEMPO’s range of test instruments have been engineered for use in areas with such high electrical interference, they have enhanced performance: MIL-STD-461E, Method RS103, tested up to 200V/M.
Thermoelectric coolers deliver precise spot-cooling
The new UltraTEC UTX Series thermoelectric cooler from Laird Thermal Systems delivers precise spot cooling to maintain peak performance of lasers and optoelectronics. Because of its solid-state operation, the UltraTEC UTX Series provides low maintenance and long-life operation.
