In this white paper, we give an overview of the use and advantages of (single-walled) carbon nanotubes in a variety of applications. Furthermore, we show some examples of how deeply…
Hyperspectral Imaging is the answer to the growing need of capturing the finest possible differences in materials. Manufacturers are developing and constantly improving hardware and software components for this purpose.…
An application at Ophir-Spiricon called for the beam analysis of a 1550 nm SWIR (Short Wave Infrared) laser source with a challenging optical arrangement. Initial tests with a phosphor coated…
Scientific, medical, to industrial – major industries in today’s world are utilising lasers in a variety of applications. Monitoring the beam quality is therefore crucial to ensure a precise and…
In this article, we introduce adaptive optics and focus on the advantages of using (short-wave) infrared cameras in wavefront sensing. We also highlight some key applications in astronomy, laser communication,…
In this article, we discuss several applications of SWIR (short-wave infrared) cameras in semiconductor inspection applications. Most of these applications rely on the capability of SWIR cameras to see through…
Food inspection based on sensors for the visual, shortwave infrared, UV and X-ray realms in connection with automated sorting and classification methods has become a major field of application for…
Among the investigative techniques applied to art inspection and restoration, infrared imaging plays an important - and rapidly growing - role. By deploying appropriate sensors and cameras with high resolution…
Since the 1960s studies have been done to use laser gated imaging for night vision. As an active imaging technique, laser gated imaging does not rely on any natural light…
Researchers at the Erasmus MC University Medical Center and at RiverD International B.V., Rotterdam, the Netherlands, have developed a novel, cutting-edge method of applying shortwave-infrared Raman spectroscopy at a wavelength…
