PicoXea, an all-in-one picosecond resolution fluorescence lifetime measurement analyser. PicoXea has many applications: it can improve the way health and environmental risks are managed through tracking nanomaterials; it can accelerate research for diagnosing cancer tissue; and enable LCDs to display more than 50 per cent more colour than the average display. In a joint development, Alphanov and Muquans have produced an innovative frequency- doubling module, generating several watts in regions of the visible spectrum previously difficult to reach. It achieves this by using a compact component featuring outstanding wall-plug efficiency and high stability. This will pave the way for using high-performance laser emissions of several watts for on-field or on-board applications. www.routedeslasers.com


Scanlab will exhibit its new ExcelliScan scan head at the trade show. The scan system uses servo innovations to deliver productivity gains in industrial applications such as micro-processing. Developed to meet rigorous demands for dynamics, precision and long-term stability in continuous operation, the scan head’s mechanical design is compact and provides optimal heat removal under dynamic load.

VPIphotonics will run live demonstrations of VPImodeDesigner, a simulation framework for the analysis and optimisation of straight anisotropic and bent isotropic optical waveguides and related devices. This design tool offers a set of full-vectorial finite-difference mode solvers with the support of customisable non-uniform meshing and matched layer absorbing boundaries. The software gives accurate and efficient calculation of guided and leaky modes and their properties.


VPImodeDesigner supports modelling of high-index-contrast and diffused (graded-index) straight and bent waveguides and fibres, made of dispersive and lossy, isotropic and anisotropic materials (including non-diagonal and gyrotropic anisotropy). Waveguide cross-section definitions can be translated easily into model parameters of passive and active devices, enabling integration with VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits, a design tool for photonic integrated circuits and optoelectronics applications. vpiphotonics.com


ExcelliScan uses galvo scanners


with precise digital angle sensors and a new ScanAhead servo control. This control solution enables dynamic laser processing without the limitations of conventional servos with tracking error. The servo design achieves high speed and dynamic performance, thus delivering productivity gains. Moreover, high-speed contour marking accuracy (for example, starting off

Zygo will be at the event exhibiting some of its metrology systems. The company’s systems cover a wide range of spatial frequencies, from optical profilers to large aperture laser interferometers. The devices enable precise, non-contact metrology of surface characteristics from roughness and texture to low spatial frequency form error and deviation.


These metrology systems deliver visual and quantitative 3D (ISO 25178) surface measurements and advanced characterisation, including PSD analysis, aspheric form, super-smooth roughness, and more. www.zygo.com
