Jenoptik is making its first presentation of polymer optics with an innovative antireflective surface coating to suit a multitude of applications at last Optatec 2012. One of the few vendors in this ...

Researchers have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and cameras. “Walking ...

Thin-film coatings can be essential to obtaining the desired performance from an optical component. Stuart Allan describes the types available and provides purchasing advice. Optical thin-film ...

A new method predicts leaf optical properties from traits, improving canopy light modeling and photosynthesis estimates in ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...

An optical fibre is a thin strand of high-quality glass. Light can be transmitted through it over very large distances. The optical fibre makes use of the 'total internal reflection' of light. When a ...

As an extension of the existing FOX 2D product range this new optics enables small samples analysis in various applications such as protein crystallography. The analysis of small crystals on home lab ...

Refraction close refractionProcess by which a wave changes speed and sometimes direction upon entering a denser or less dense medium, eg a light ray changes direction when refracted by a lens. from a ...
