From Stanford Research Systems (SRS), the recently launched FS740 Time and Frequency system is much more than just a 10MHz frequency reference.  With powerful capabilities and eye-catching performance it is a highly cost effective and multi-functional lab tool. The SRS FS740’s GPS disciplined 10MHz reference delivers caesium equivalent stability and phase noise, but for a fraction of the cost. A...

With the 48 MP global shutter CMOS sensor CMV50000 from ams (CMOSIS) Lambda Photometrics is now shipping the LX series with Dual GigE (LXG) and CameraLink (LXC). The cameras have outstanding high resolution, very good image quality and high frame rates of up to 15 fps. The further extension of the LX series takes place throughout 2018 based on the...

Up to 20 megapixel in 29 x 29 mm design for cost-oriented applications: CX and EX series add ten new models with rolling shutter sensors 10 new models with rolling shutter sensors were added to the successful CX and EX Baumer camera series which now offers resolutions with 20 and 10 megapixel, respectively. Baumer expands the successful CX and EX...

Acousto-Optic Beam Modulators and Deflectors Control Laser Beams in Many Applications. by John Lekavich, Director, IntraAction Acousto-Optics, the interaction of sound waves and light in a transparent medium, has proven an effective means of amplitude-modulating, deflecting, or shifting the optical frequency of laser light. When a transparent medium is subject to a stress, the optical refractive index of the medium...

Never Miss a Signal Today’s RF designs utilise rapidly changing and pulsing signals that are difficult to consistently capture on traditional swept spectrum analysers. The Rigol RSA5000 delivers a class leading 7.45µsec 100% probability of intercept meaning that any pulse with a duration of greater than 7.45µsec will be captured and accurately displayed. Isolate & Capture IoT Device proliferation means...

The Ultra High Resolution OSA (UHR-OSA) proposed by APEX Technologies remains a very important tool not only to measure the optical OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signal spectrums even with few tens of MHz spacing sub-carriers but also to adjust and adapt it to other modulation techniques. APEX-UHR-OSA incessant need in OFDM research area APEX UHR-OSAs have found a wide industrial and...

The APEX Technologies Ultra High Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyser (OSA) can be used to measure the active/passive optical component insertion loss/gain thanks to the possibility to synchronise the internal Tunable Laser Source and the OSA sweepings. In this context, the APEX OSA remains a perfect tool to measure the Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensor reflection with 1 MHz of resolution...
