Laser Sintering Technology: The Future of Printed Electronics 02 May

Hamamatsu Photonics Europe

Laser sintering is a relatively new technology that uses lasers as efficient thermal energy sources for sintering metal particle-based inks. Discover how Hamamatsu Photonics has been assisting the printed electronics industry through extensive testing, with the support of partners, to find the optimal sintering conditions for different ink and substrate combinations.

Measure How We See – The Way to Perfect Display Colors 28 Oct 2024

ADMESY

In recent years new display technologies have emerged. OLED displays, TFT’s with quantum dot technology or laser projectors offer brighter and more saturated colors than possible before. To achieve consistent colors across different displays, colorimetric calibration of the displays is essential.

Choosing the best spectrometer for NIR OCT 02 Apr

Wasatch Photonics

Near infrared optical coherence tomography has traditionally been limited to imaging depths of just a few millimeters, but with our expanded line of OCT spectrometers, up to 12 mm is possible. In this tech note, we explore and compare three different drop-in spectrometer models designed to serve a wide range of resolution, depth, and size requirements in NIR OCT imaging.

Identifying Optical Materials with Precision Accuracy 04 Mar

Knight Optical

Precision accuracy is a critical necessity with any optical component. Rigorous testing to ensure strict compliance with given requirements will always be essential; it is a vitally important demand within any industry sector. Dimensional, surface profiling and optical performance testing are significant aspects of this process, but an additional layer of assurance and quality can be achieved with the use of material verification, employing methods such as refractive index, density testing and transmission measurement. This White Paper explores advanced techniques for precise optical material verification, overcoming the limitations of traditional testing methods.
