Brainiac75] is a fan of fiber optic lamps, except for one thing—they’re often remarkably dim. Thus, they set out to hack the technology to deliver terrifying amounts of light while still ...
The days of the quartz halogen lamp in machine vision applications could be over. Jacqueline Hewett finds out how Edmund Optics went back to basics to improve the coupling efficiency of an LED, ...
[Peter] has finished up his fiber optic microscope light source. When we last visited [Peter] he created a dimmer circuit for a 10 watt LED. That LED driver has now found its final home in [Peter’s] ...
Advances in the power output of light emitting diodes (LEDS) have allowed a LED light curing unit (LCU) with an 8 mm diameter light guide tip to achieve a similar depth of cure in a camphorquinone ...
The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...
SPIE Photonics West sees the global optics and photonics community come together to present and discuss the latest industry ...
Spectrometers are exceptionally versatile instruments capable of measuring light intensity in terms of its component wavelengths (i.e. by color). Fiber-coupled, cost-effective spectrometers like the ...
