Researchers have designed an optical filter on a chip that can process optical signals from across an extremely wide spectrum of light at once, something never before available to integrated optics ...

Alluxa, Inc., introduces a capability in extending the spectral optical coating performance. The innovative, next-generation SIRRUS™ plasma physical vapor deposition (PVD) platform offers full ...

High-performance thin-film optical filters and coatings for sophisticated systems. ULTRA Series optical filters and coatings are specifically designed to be integrated into the most sophisticated ...

Tunable filters are optical filters that are suitable for applications requiring wavelength tuning. Two of their main specifications are the optical density (OD) and the out-of-band rejection. The ...

How a single silicon chip was designed to be microwave and optical signal-processing engine. The various roles for which this engine can be reconfigured. The performance considerations that were ...

Modern-day communications rely on both fibre-optic cables and wireless radiofrequency (RF) microwave communications. Reaching higher data transmission capabilities is going to require technologies ...

Optoelectronic components made of the semiconductor material silicon are sensitive to light with wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (UV), visible light, to near-infrared radiation (300-1100 nm).

Several light sources produce light across various wavelengths. While this wavelength spectrum can be useful in lighting applications, other applications require light with a restricted visible ...

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) instruments that operate in real-time need high sensitivity and the most favorable signal-to-noise ratio possible. The bandwidth of excitation, center wavelength (CWL) and ...
