Distributor products
Elliot Scientific has begun distributing the 308 FPD spectrophotometer manufactured by Craic Technologies, aimed at developers of OLED devices. It is designed to measure and compare the spectral output, intensity and colour consistency of each microscopic pixel in milliseconds, thereby quickly creating spectral maps for a whole device and ensuring quality control is maintained.

Laser Components now distributes the MX2000-LN and MPX2000-LN series of optical modulators produced by Photline Technologies. The new intensity and phase modulators are specifically designed for operation in the 2µm wavelength band. Laser Components has also begun distributing a range of four-pin fibre- coupled diode lasers manufactured by SemiNex. Lasers are available at standard wavelengths of 1450, 1470, 1532, and 1550nm, and can be custom made at any wavelength between 1300 and 1600nm.

safe laser scanning head
Arges has introduced a laser scanning head with its SafeScan integrated safety monitoring system. The three-step safety concept verifies the functionality of the laser scanner before and during laser processing, and monitors all safety- critical optical elements as well as the electro- mechanical components of the scanner’s internal beam path. According to the company, the use of the SafeScan system can allow laser integrators to cut additional safety monitoring steps from a laser system without having compromising the overal safety of the process. The SafeScan system features real-time
plausibility checks on the positions of the scanner axes during laser processing, tracking errors, position noise, and resonant behaviour for example. Additional plausibility checks are run on the position data received from the scan head with regards to speed and acceleration, and on the scanner’s internal and external parameters such as temperature (of electronics and actuators), operating supply and reference voltages, cooling water, behaviour of the
Analysis, test and measurement Optomechanical testing system
Trioptics has introduced its new OptiCentric 3D testing system and software for the complete opto-mechanical characterisation of assembled optical systems. The product integrates different lens analysis technologies and provides a valuable tool for the evaluation of complex optical systems in R&D or routine quality inspection in production. The two-in-one solution for the detailed
investigation of assembled objective lenses combines the proven centring error measurement technology integrated in OptiCentric with a low-coherence interferometer called OptiSurf. This interferometer measures the air gaps between lens surfaces and the centre thickness of lenses within the optical system. The cross-interaction of both measurement systems allows the fast alignment of the lens system, and provides a significant increase of the overall measurement accuracy. The system can measure centring errors to less than 0.1µm, and air spacing and centre

individual optical elements and coatings, etc. In addition to safety monitoring, the data-
logging of the SafeScan system also facilitates preventive maintenance before break down. Should one or more parameters exceed the safety critical range, the scanning system activates the emergency shut-down of the laser.
