TECHNOLOGY PHOTONEX PREVIEW The UK on show


Photonex, the UK’s leading photonics exhibition and conference, moves to a new venue, the Ricoh Arena, Coventry, from 18-19 October. Alongside the exhibition previewed here, there will also be an Executive Panel Discussion, sponsored by Electro Optics, taking place on Wednesday 19 October at 12.30pm


Newbury-based Alrad Instruments will be exhibiting a number of products, including the Coherent Lasiris light sources, LAP laser sensors, the software package Gidel and the Helio-Strob compact 75 light source. The Coherent Lasiris structured


light sources can be used in a wide range of imaging applications, and offer light patterns including single and multiple laser lines, with uniformity down to ±15 per cent.


LAP laser sensors measure dimensions without touching surfaces. Production processes can be monitored, ensuring quality and reducing rejects. According to Alrad, LAP measurement systems are fl exible and easy to integrate. Gidel provides powerful development tools and universal


AP Technologies, best known for its high-performance UVC to NIR LEDs, photodiodes and silicon photomultipliers, will be introducing two new laser diode suppliers.


QD Laser is a spin-off from Fujitsu Laboratory and develops and manufactures laser diodes using proprietary quantum dot technology. Quantum dot lasers deliver signifi cant performance benefi ts in temperature stability, low power consumption, long-

Alrad will also be showing its latest analogue and digital cameras for machine vision, microscopy and other industrial applications. www.alrad.co.uk


FPGA platforms for acceleration systems, ASIC prototyping and algorithm development. Gidel’s high productivity software tools complement high-performance PCI, PCI express boards and stand-alone boards. Helio-Strob compact 75 is a mobile strobing light source for industrial use. Extremely short fl ash impulses with constant brightness enable the freezing of images, as well as a slowed-


distance transmission and high speed. Current products include 1053 and 1064nm DFB lasers, and a 100mW 660nm laser with integrated monitor diode. LDX Optronics offers multimode laser diodes from 445nm to 1.8µm in a wide range of industry-standard and custom packages. In addition to many standard wavelengths not offered by other manufacturers, LDX will also take on custom wavelength opportunities – enabling


Diamond will present some of its fi bre optic connectors for instrumentation and lasers for medical, defence and aerospace applications. Diamond can produce customised components, assemblies and equipment. On its stand visitors will fi nd high power and space qualifi ed connectors, ETO sterilisable connectors, vacuum feedthroughs, connectors for short wavelengths, ribbon and custom fi bre and custom IP rated hybrid connectors. www.diamond-fo.com


EXECUTIVE PANEL: BETTER


PREPARED? PHOTONICS FACES THE FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE
