wafer form. Lithium niobate and tantalate, including Mg-doped material for higher power optical applications, will be on display as boules and wafers – the preferred forms for optical fabrication and periodic poling. This year, the company will introduce its new gallium nitride wafers, manufactured from truly bulk material, offering new possibilities for solid state lighting, laser devices and high-power electronics. www.roditi.com


scanlab will present a whole range of scanning solutions for the photonics industry. The exhibits will be clustered around high end solutions, software and systems solutions, and standard solutions. One of the show highlights is the new intelliScanSe 10 – a scan head with only 10mm aperture


and high-end, high-res digital encoder scanners. The basis for this innovation is the dynAxisSe S, which features an all new, patented encoder design with ultra low inertia and therefore uncompromised dynamic performance. Other highlights are solutions for inline laser edge detection and through the head machine vision, which will help integrators to realise top notch laser machines in much shorter time than their competition. Also laserDesk – Scanlab’s laser processing software package – will be demonstrated to the laser community. www.scanlab.de


schott will be presenting new forms of delivery for sapphire material. Sapphire glass is the

second hardest transparent material next to diamonds. It is made of high purity aluminum oxide that is produced synthetically. This extremely scratch-proof and heat-resistant material offers high transmission in the wavelength range of 0.5 up to approx. 6.25µm. By introducing new forms of delivery, Schott is now also expanding the range of applications. The company manufactures sapphire glass panes that are up to 300mm in diameter. These are then individually polished and coated to meet specific customer requirements. The formats can be designed rather freely, from round to square, and feature either a curved or a flat surface. The processing quality ranges from standard to optical quality. Sapphire glass is used in high-quality watches, but also in optical, chemical, analytical, medical and security technologies. Schott will also be presenting its expanded range of HT glasses. These variants of standard optical glass offer extremely high internal transmission in the visible and especially the blue-violet spectral range. www.schott.com

trumpf will show its range of laser options for a variety of user applications, with a focus on efficiency of production. So that the appropriate laser is available for each application, Trumpf is





trioptics will be displaying OptiSurf, a tool for non-contact centre thickness and air gap measurement within single lenses, planar optics and optical systems. The instrument is based on low coherent interferometry and measures all distances in an optical system with an accuracy of 1µm in one scan. It is also outstanding in compactness and ease of use as it incorporates all measurement and alignment components in a single system. The alignment of the sample with respect to the measurement


axis has been greatly simplified compared to conventional systems. An innovative alignment tool together with the adjustable sample holder and the software allows even inexperienced operators to accurately align and measure lenses and optical systems. The OptiSurf Professional


Software supports intuitive handling, alignment and statistical analysis. It provides automated surface identification for fast and precise measurements. www.trioptics.com
