VCSEL lasers powerful emitters with short rise times
LASER COMPONENTS has expanded its range of VCSEL lasers. Its wide range of products now includes emitters with 850nm and 940nm in power classes between 200mW and 50W. All products are characterised by extremely short rise times and thus support pulse trains in the low nanosecond range and below.
FLIR thermal cameras for skin temperature screening
FLIR Systems has announced modified thermal cameras for fast and safe non-contact elevated skin temperature screening. The FLIR EST thermal screening solutions provide frontline screening at building entries and in high traffic areas to improve safety and help curb the spread of COVID-19.
Event for LED lighting in hazardous environments
Chalmit & Killark, a division of the Hubbell Harsh & Hazardous Group, and the specialist manufacturer of lighting for industrial sites, is hosting a live, interactive, online Q&A on how LED luminaires can be used to best effect in hazardous areas.
Advanced light-receiving tech enables solid-state LiDAR
Addressing the ongoing migration towards autonomous driving, Toshiba has announced the introduction of a high-resolution, long-range light-receiving technology for deployment in solid-state LiDAR systems.
Standalone ISELED LED driver & controller in production
In addition to its LED driver/controller die, integrated in smart ISELED LED modules, Inova Semiconductors has launched the driver chip as a standalone solution. The standalone ISELED driver is now available in volume production and is AEC-Q100 qualified.
Hamamatsu spatial light modulator with pulse laser power
Hamamatsu photonics has announced that it has succeeded in developing a liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (SLM) with a very high pulse laser power capability up to 400 GW/cm2, by utilising its advanced thin-film and circuit designing technologies.
Reliable detection of UV wavelengths with SiC detectors
SiC detectors (Silicon Carbide) for respective applications are available from LASER COMPONENTS. The manufacturer ifw optronics from Jena, Germany, is one of the few companies worldwide that produces these components.
High-performance optical filters for COVID-19 tests
Optical filters play a crucial role in detecting the corona pathogen COVID-19. With the expanded Ultra series, LASER COMPONENTS now offers optical filters that were specifically developed for real-time qPCR tests for the COVID-19 virus. Patient samples can thus be analysed faster and more efficiently.
Development kit helps camera subsystem prototyping
Efinix's Trion T120 BGA324 development kit has multiple high-speed MIPI connectors that help prototype a camera subsystem with common camera modules.
