Measuring the return loss along a fibre optic network, or within a photonic integrated circuit, is a common and very important technique when characterising a network’s or device’s ability to efficiently propagate optical signals. Reflectometry is a general method of measuring this return loss and consists of launching a probe signal into the device or network, measuring the reflected light...

A leading Manufacturer in the Electron Microscopy industry Eugene A. Fischione founded E.A. Fischione Instruments, Inc. in 1966. As a research machinist at the U.S. Steel Technical Centre (formerly U.S. Steel Research Centre) from 1956 to 1977, Eugene Fischione was involved with many of the early developments in electron microscopy. Today, Fischione strive to produce sophisticated electron microscopy sample preparation equipment...

Sensing in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range (wavelengths from 0.9 to 1.7 microns) has been made practical by the development of Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) sensors. Sensors Unlimited, Inc., part of UTC Aerospace Systems, is the pioneer in this technology and clear leader in advancing the capability of SWIR sensors. Founded in 1991 to create lattice-matched InGaAs structures, Sensors Unlimited...

QPSI™ Technology Shrugs Off Vibration from Common Sources When image stabilization became available on digital cameras, it vastly reduced the number of photos ruined by camera shake. The new technology eliminated the effects of common hand tremors, greatly improving image quality in many photo situations. Animated comparison of a PSI measurement with fringe print-through due to vibration, and the same...

DynaPhase® Dynamic Acquisition for Extreme Environments Confidence in metrology, no matter the conditions Fizeau Interferometry has become a trusted standard for precise metrology of optical components and systems. Traditionally, these instruments were required to be installed in lab environments, where conditions were carefully controlled, to ensure high precision measurements were not compromised. However, today a growing number of applications demand...

FFT Spectrum Analysers, such as the SRS SR760, SR770, SR780 and SR785, take a time varying input signal, like you would see on an oscilloscope trace, and compute its frequency spectrum. Fourier's theorem states that any waveform in the time domain can be represented by the weighted sum of sines and cosines.The FFT spectrum analyser samples the input signal, computes...

The nano mechanical imaging (NMI) mode is an extension of the contact mode. The static force acting on the cantilever is used to produce a topography image of the sample. Simultaneously, at each pixel force curves are produced and used to extract quantitative material properties data such as adhesion, deformation, dissipation...

We are pleased to announce that we are now delivering an on-board image compression video camera, which is able to transmit high-quality images and reduce the data output in real-time. Baumer is supplementing the hugely popular LX series with 2, 4 and 25 megapixel cameras with integrated JPEG image compression and frame rates of up to 140 fps. With the...

Electronic products can emit unwanted electromagnetic radiation, or electromagnetic interference (EMI). Regulatory agencies create standards that define the allowable limits of EMI over specific frequency ranges. Testing designs and products for compliance to these standards can be difficult and expensive, but there are tools and techniques that can help to minimise the cost of testing and help to enable designs...
