May, 2021: Nanoscribe introduces the new IP-PDMS photoresin for 3D Microfabrication of elastomer-based applications, microsystems and devices. The biocompatible printing material is soft, highly flexible and elastic. Thus, IP-PDMS is a promising driver for 3D-printed applications in various fields, such as in life sciences, microfluidics and for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). These characteristics and the ISO-approved…

May, 2021: In the world of Plano-optics, flatness is the ultimate goal. Precision optics are expected to manipulate light down to the nanometer. The surface accuracy of windows and mirrors is extremely critical to the performance of an optical system. For any laser application where you are transmitting light (window) or reflecting light (mirror), the…

April, 2021: Special fibers support applications in high-temperature and high-vacuum areas and also withstand aggressive substances The new CeramOptec® AL-Fibers are provided with a hermetically sealed metal coating made of aluminum and are thus protected against the penetration of liquids and gases. They are suitable for operating temperatures between -196°C and +400°C, do not outgas even…

April, 2021: Variable expanding of high power laser beams Sill Optics presents the new zoom beam expander S6EXZ0940/574 which is suitable for high power UV lasers at 355 nm. The optical design enables a maximum beam diameter at all lens surfaces inside the beam expander for each magnification from 0.9x up to 4.0x. The telescope…

April 2021: The MICRO Green Laser Module GLM-532/545-003-MICRO-X has an extremely small size of just Ø3.7 x 10mm with an output power of 3mW at wavelength 532nm and 545nm. The operating temperature range -30°C to +60°C allows to use it for various industrial and defense applications in most harsh environment. The energy consumption is very…

April, 2021: The most important players from the optics industry will come together at the next Optatec international trade fair for optical technologies, components and systems at the usual trade fair venue in Frankfurt from the 27th through the 29th of September, 2022. In the meantime, Optatec-Virtual has established itself as a digital marketplace. The…

March 2021: We are happy to announce that Multiphoton Optics GmbH is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg Instruments Mikrotechnik GmbH. The strategic merger combines development strength and technologies for the production of microstructures. Our customers benefit from the experience with more than 1,000 systems installed worldwide, the know-how of approx. 300 employees in…

March 2021 – Spectroradiometers with minimum measurement times in the micro-second range and precise triggering are required for conducting short-pulse measurements. For this purpose, Instrument Systems developed the new CAS 125 spectroradiometer with CMOS sensor and specially tailored readout electronics. This enables significantly more precise characterization of high-current-density LEDs, high-power LEDs with reduced heat-dissipation capability,…

March 2021: During process observation within VIS spectrum, chromatical aberrations occur caused by the difference in laser and observation wavelength. While lateral shift can't be affected with the observation lens, the difference in working distances, caused by the chromatic focus shift, can be compensated by focal lens adjustment. Our new telephoto lenses S5VPJ0303 and S5VPJ0305…

February, 2021: Diamond introduces the Compact DM4 to further ehnhance our line of reliable and versatile connectors. The Compact DM4 is built around a light and compact aluminum housing that can be used as an easily pluggable standalone product or as an insert in our Harsh Environment connectors.   Diamond Compact DM4   The DM4…
