25 December 2019: MY POLYMERS RCT-136 – Optimized for Re-Coating

The new RCT-136 UV Cured Re-Coating was designed to include all the important properties of an ideal Re-Coating.
The refractive index was chosen to be 1.363 (at 950 nm), matching exactly the index of our OF-136 primary coating, which is used by the majority of the leading manufacturers of specialty optical fibers.
RCT-136 was designed to have Low Modulus, which means the material is very flexible. The high flexibility prevents the buildup of high stress under thermal cycling or thermal shock.
The high adhesion of this material, coupled with the low modulus, increases its endurance under thermal cycling and thermal shock.
The material includes MY Polymers proprietary adhesion promoter, which improves the material endurance under the damp heat test.

A Frequently asked question is:
Why is it better to use RCT-136 for re-coating, instead of the primary coating OF-136 as it is?
There are 2 main reasons:
1. The adhesion of a primary coating must be limited, to enable stripping. This limitation does not apply to a re-coating material, because under normal circumstances there is no need to strip a re-coating. Therefore, RCT-136 for significantly higher adhesion.
2. The modulus of a primary coating has to be higher than minimal value. However, there is no such restriction for re-coating material. Therefore, RCT-136 was designed to be significantly more flexible. (Lower modulus correlates with higher flexibility).

23 December 2019: Sensor with Flat Response Across the VIS and NIR (SWIR)

Now there is a photodetector that works for visible (VIS) and short wave infrared (SWIR or NIR). No need for 2 detectors (Si and InGaAs) to cover this bandwidth. The spectral response is almost flat across the entire spectrum (400 – 1800nm).

Emberion’s graphene photodetectors convert light to an electronic signal using graphene charge transducers combined with nanocrystal light absorber. They provide superior responsivity with very low noise over a broad spectral range from visible (VIS) to near infrared/short-wave infrared (NIR/SWIR) wavelengths without cooling below room temperature.

Unique Benefits of the Emberion graphene photodetectors:
• Low noise
• Large dynamic range because of non-saturating detectors
• And again, Broad wavelength band (400 – 1800nm)

23 December 2019: MY POLYMERS New Low Refractive Index Re-Coatings.

MY Polymers new -NI Re-Coatings solve or mitigate the Oxygen Inhibition problem. Oxygen Inhibition prevents full curing of UV cured coatings, especially on the surface. The problem is more severe in Low Refractive Index coatings.
MY Polymers NI products enable significantly improved surface curing, without requiring an inert atmosphere.
The NI products were also optimized for fast high quality curing under UV-LED curing units, while maintain high quality curing under mercury lamp-based UV curing systems.
The NI Products include 2 types of materials – Low Modulus products, denoted by LM-XXX-NI (e.g. LM-136-NI). And high modulus products denoted by MY-XXX-NI.
Low Modulus products are more flexible. Their high flexibility improves dramatically the reliability under thermal cycling.
The higher modulus products are intended for applications where rigidity is required.
MY POLYMERS NI products cover the range from refractive index 1.36 and up to 1.49.

17 December 2019: Deeply Cooled Compact SWIR InGaAs camera

Photonic Science is releasing a new compact SWIR InGaAs camera with cooling down to -50°C allowing long exposures for semiconductor failure analysis, small animal imaging and astronomy applications.

The camera incorporates a 640 x 512 VGA high grade sensor, 15 micron pixels and quantum efficiency response >70% at the silicon emission peak and >80% at 1550nm.

The sensor supports 3 gain modes.

The high gain mode delivers less than 30 electrons Read Out Noise (RON) with a Full Well Capacity (FWC) in excess of 22,000 electrons. This mode is used under light starved conditions with signal to noise ratio not exceeding 700:1.

The medium gain mode delivers 50 electrons RON with an FWC in excess of 100,000 electrons. This mode allows detection of very low emission signals whilst maintaining 2,000:1 intra scene dynamic range in a single image.

The low gain mode delivers 400-450 electrons RON with 1.2 to 1.4 Million electrons FWC. This mode is used when the largest dynamic range, up to 3,000:1 needs to be achieved.

The cooling reduces dark current to typical values of 750 electrons / pixel / second, which in mid gain mode allows 1 minute exposures while remaining under half saturation. Signal to noise ratio in excess of 200:1 remains achievable.

A control loop algorithm maintains a stabilised temperature within +/-0.5°C, which ensures reliable in camera corrections routines. Bad pixels, offset, gain linearization and dark current in camera corrections deliver precise and reproducible metrology measurements.

With 4-tap low noise electronics the camera is capable of streaming data at up to 174 frames per second (fps) through a Gigabit Ethernet Vision (GEV) compliant interface. Faster frame rates can be achieved using a cropped Region of Interest (ROI) on the sensor. Used in line mode for spectroscopy acquisition, the sensor will achieve 7,200 fps @ 640 x 4 ROI and a centred 320 x 256 ROI will achieve 570 fps. This high frame rate enables integration of multiple images without any dead period. This is an essential feature when sampling long exposures using the non-destructive mode on the camera.

16 December 2019: Full Automated Polarimeter LSM-9100W/WS

Polarimeter/scope is a testing device that evaluates residual strain of glass and plastic arising from birefringence accurately.
・Conventional polariscopes depend on human visual sense, experience and/or intuition to measure the amount of strain or make judgements, so with every measurement, the test results varied depending on the operator’s experience and the level of physical fatigue or eyestrain. In contrast, Full Automated Polarimeter LSM-9100W is a device that quantitively measures the strain (retardation) peculiar to the sample two-dimensionally in the range of 0-3000nm, regardless of who or when it measures.
・Invisible to the human eye, the internal residual stress of a transparent object can be thoroughly and quantitively measured by anyone with just one click,it’s an easy operation.
・By incorporating internally manufactured high-quality polarizing plates, we were able to adopt RGB linear polarization method using 3 wavelength data that makes it possible to obtain highly accurate result of repeatitive accuracy by 1nm retardance.
・LSM-9100W is a very price competitive instrument compared to our competitions that have the same specs such as the resolution and the repeated accuracy of data.
・The credibility of this testing equipment is backed by its business record with major glass and lamp manufacturers, as well as lens makers, to name a few.

16 December 2019: Super Broadband Waveplate SR-RETAX

・The single wave plate is capable of achieving constant phase difference with high precision in the range of 450nm to 1,100nm with its super broadband range.
・Retardance Tolerance:±λ1/50（450nm≦λ1＜550nm）、±λ2/80（550nm≦λ2≦1,100nm）
・Sizes larger than crystals can be manufactured. It also supports various sizes and shapes (square, etc.) (~φ100mm、~□100mm).
・For applications requiring multiple wave plates, SB-RETAX will provide the solution with just one plate.
・Enables faster data synthesis and miniaturize device development.
For example, solar observation requires multiple wavelengths simultaneously and each wave length data is compared and synthesized for analysis. Conventional wave plates that support single wavelengths cannot perform simultaneous observations, so time lags occurred when comparing data and extended time is required for synthesis. By having a single wave plate perform multiple observations simultaneously, it provides accuracy and shortened work time.
In addition, when switching wave plates, space within the device itself or the structural space would be required, but with SB-RETAX, these spaces become unnecessary, which could lead to miniaturization of devices.
・Contributes to the development of truly innovative ideas.
・Simulations allow adjustments to any wavelength range and retardation (maximum wavelength range of 450 to 1,100nm).
・For example, we offer standard products supporting wavelength range of 450～700nm、500～800nm、600～900nm and 800～1,100nm (Retardance Tolerance: ±λ/80,Parallelism and Surface Quality: For φ30 (Parallelism 4 arc min, 4 fringes), parallelism of 1 arc min can be provided upon customized order.)
・Customized orders available from just 1 pc.

16 December 2019: Mirao 52ES

The line of Mirao deformable mirrors provides an exceptionally large stroke and high precision combined with low power consumption and USB connectivity in order to meet the needs of today’s most demanding applications. Mirao 52es incorporates a unique technology that uses 52 electromagnetic actuators, enough to precisely correct up to the 6th order Zernike modes. This mirror also provides an exceptional 50μm PV deformation amplitude, which makes this mirror especially useful in various bio imaging and microscopy applications where large-amplitude aberrations need to be corrected.
In many adaptive optics applications a deformable mirror is used to create a precise wavefront shape, which is then kept fixed during operation of the optical setup (in microscopy, beam shaping etc.). Whenever a precise wavefront/PSF shape needs to be maintained during long term experiments - Mirao 52es is the perfect choice.

The exceptional feature of Mirao 52es deformable mirror is its long-term stability in open-loop mode. With this mirror, the difference of the generated wavefront and the target wavefront remains within less than 10nm RMS for more than 12 hours, which does not have analogs in the field. We also performed the tests on the microscope where the PSF remained stable over the course of three days and the changes of the PSF were negligible.

4 December 2019: Ion Beam Figuring Systems for Ultra Smooth Optical Surfaces

The Buhler Leybold Optics range of ion beam figuring systems offer fully automated deterministic surface finishing to measurement limits (lambda/200).

Ion beam figuring is a non contact technique, avoiding edge roll off effects and solvents that can damage or react with the surface. A controlled beam of inert gas ions, typically argon, is used to remove material via a programmed dwell time pattern derived from the measured surface figure.

The surface roughness remains unchanged for most materials and In some cases e.g. quartz and silicon, it can be improved Another advantage of IBF is that it can process substrates beyond the edge (such as optical lenses and mirrors) and thus increase the clear aperture.

Any material that is vacuum compatible is suitable for ion beam figuring. A low sputter yield is applied for soft materials. IBF is also suitable for special glasses made from salts such as sodium chloride, which would simply dissolve in the “wet” processes like MRF or fluid jet polishing. OPTEG’s OMF range of products is designed for workpieces with diameters of 5 mm to 1.2 m. Larger or smaller diameters are also possible.

The machine portfolio has chambers capable of figuring optics from 150 mm to 1200 mm in size, allowing optimization to customer products and cost effective manufacture.

Each system includes a load lock for fast and efficient pump down, in situ calibration of the ion source etch rate, and a range of interchangeable aperture masks for fine and mid level smoothing.

All systems are fully automated and can be supplied with robotic handling for dark facility production.

3 December 2019: ALPhANOV presents XPulse project first results to the Technological Alliance of Laser and Health Committee

Thursday, September 12th, 2019, ALPhANOV held the Technological Alliance of Laser and Health committee in the Institute of Optics of Aquitaine. The different partners presented their first-phase results and discussed the upcoming phase 2 milestones for the Technological Alliance of Laser and Health.

Projects presentation:
The Technological Alliance of Laser and Health brings together three industrial R&D projects, collaborative R&D and academic research:
• LEAP: the project aims to develop technological bricks for a new generation of high-power medium and high energy lasers.
• CONVERGENCE: the project aims to develop next-generation laser components to increase industrial lasers energy and average power.
• XPulse: the project aims to develop a phase contrast mammography system based on X-ray source generated by laser and dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer.

Alliance Phase 2 confirmed:
The Alliance meeting, which took place on Thursday, September 12th, was the opportunity for all partners to present their results half-way through the full project duration. Objectives for phase 2 were also discussed, and communication and valorisation actions were planned.
In conclusion, the Phase 1 deliverables and milestones of the Alliance projects were achieved, and every partner is now focused on phase 2 which will start on first January 2020 for a period of 3 years.

First laser shots
At this meeting, ALPhANOV presented, as part of the XPulse project, the results obtained following the first successful laser generated X-ray generation and detection tests.
These first tests were performed with a MAGMA 25 laser supplied by Amplitude Laser Group, a project partner. The MAGMA 25 is an ultrashort laser capable of generating pulses up to 25 mJ at a frequency of 100 Hz.
The first laser shots were made on a target system which was designed by the XPulse project team within the ALPhANOV Technology Center. These initial tests were very conclusive and confirmed the team's technological choices regarding the integration of this laser X-ray source into a preclinical mammography imaging system. The latter will be developed during the second phase of the project and will be installed in the project premises recently received at the BioImaging Institute (IBIO) at the Bordeaux University Hospital.

26 November 2019: NanoTest VCSEL Testing

Opto-electronic testing for VCSEL lasers on Wafer Level

Optical and electrical qualification of VCSELs at the wafer level helps to differentiate well-working lasers from the ones with mediocre performance. In this way, unnecessary processing of low-quality devices is saved early and possible problems during wafer production will be determined.

The NanoTest-VCSEL provides a powerful solution for this task. A temperature-controlled chuck accommodates wafers up to 6 in. diameter. Several vacuum zones simplify the fixation of smaller wafers, bars, single dies or chips on substrate.

An ultra-high precision motion system (XYZ and theta) shuttles the device into the measurement position. Electrical DC and/or RF probes supply the necessary electrical signals. An optical fiber above the device under test collects the optical signals for further processing and recording. Sophisticated machine vision algorithms secure the correct position and allow for automated device recognition.

The software package TestMaster controls not only the motion axes and machine vision, but all measurement instruments such as current sources, power meters, optical spectrum and network analyzers.

All data are recorded and processed. This includes the analysis of the LVI curve, the optical spectrum and noise ratios. The color mapping of the test results over the wafer position displays the performance of each VCSEL and the entire wafer at a glance.

25 November 2019: The New SILIOS’ 4 Mpx compact lightweight Multispectral cameras, the CMS4 Series

SILIOS Technologies, a French based high-tech company (located in Provence - south of France), specialized in the micro-optical technologies, is pleased to present its new product; COLOR-SHADES® 4 Mpx Multispectral VIS/NIR CMS4 Cameras.
During the past years SILIOS Technologies developed the COLOR SHADES® technology, allowing manufacturing multi-spectral pixelated filters for the visible and near IR domain. Each sub-cell of these filters can be sized at a scale of less than five microns.
3 years ago SILIOS Technologies started to commercialize its first 1.3 Mpx multi-spectral cameras (the CMS-C, CMS-V and CM-S). Now, SILIOS Technologies unveils its 4Mpx version of CMS cameras in 2020.

The CMS and CMS4-cameras are made of a COLOR SHADES® multispectral filter assembled by hybridization onto a monochrome commercial CMOS imager. This multi-spectral filter acts as a custom Bayer matrix, filtering the light at the CMOS pixel scale. The camera provides 8 “single-color” pictures (20 to 60 nm FWHM bands) and 1 B&W picture (panchromatic channel) of the scene. Each camera, distinguished by a specific color frame, addresses a specific range of wavelengths according to the targeted applications.

The CMS-C /CMS4-C (orange color) are more particularly dedicated to color measurement, calibration or discrimination. It addresses the range 400-700 nm.
The CMS-V/CMS4-V (green color) are oriented towards the vegetation and precision farming applications with a range adapted to the chlorophyll sampling (550-800 nm).
The CMS-S/CMS4-S (blue color), addressing the range 650-900 nm, are dedicated to the security and the defense fields.

These CMS4 VIS/NIR snapshot multispectral cameras offer the same excellent spectral features as the 1.3Mpx CMS Series but 4 times more spatial resolution.
With the CMS4 Series, see the invisible accurately !

Apart from these low cost off-the-shelf products, SILIOS Technologies proposes also the development of specific multispectral sensors and cameras adapted to the customer exact needs. In particular, the customer can choose the commercial sensor adapted to its application (snapshot or push broom mode, resolution, sensitivity, …), the number of bands (2 to 16), the centering of the bands, etc…

19 November 2019: Lensmap HR

The New Lensmap HR is now used in manufacturing to control the most advanced smart phone camera modules.
As smartphone makers compete to outdo each other with additional photographic capabilities, and extend the power of their cameras into new realms such as AR, we’re likely to see additional camera modules on both front and rear of future devices. Several smaller cameras can replace one larger camera, and the small size and thin shape of smartphones make the use of small modules a necessity. The big challenge for designers and optical manufacturers is keeping the form factor as small as possible as lens complexity increase.
The lens module manufacturing is performed with three main process steps: single lens injection molding, anti-reflective coating deposition and then assembly into a barrel part. As smartphones continue to grow in power and complexity, to keep high yield, manufacturers are needing ever-greater accuracy and quality for their high-volume production lines.
Center stacked lens thicknesses and airgaps measurement is now mandatory after assembly. New high-quality thin cameras require stack of 6 or more lenses with airgaps down to 20µm and below. The assembly induced stress can be detected by such process control solution.
Reaching 20µm (and below) gap thickness measurement capability required the development of the most advanced OCT in the market, with a 15µm-6mm and 15µm-40mm measurement range capabilities!!

18 November 2019: VIEWRISE®, a unique wet antireflective coating for optical plastics and glasses

The antireflective coating technology VIEWRISE® is the breakthrough so long anticipated by many mass markets. Antireflective coating is a layer designed to manage an optical element’s incoming and outgoing light. When light passes through any lens or window, around 5% is reflected back on each surface. The amount of reflection depends on the refractive index of the optical element and the air. VIEWRISE® is a monolayer whose refractive index is between that of the air and the optical element, which interferes with the reflected light waves and reduces their strength. VIEWRISE® patented antireflective coating is the result of a continuous period of research and development to produce a stable and robust solution. Until now, dealing with stray light reflections generated by optical elements required antireflective functionality through the application of thin multilayers using a vacuum-coating process. The VIEWRISE® revolution uses wet chemistry and a dip-coating process. The high production capacity of this process makes the antireflective technology possible for mass markets such as automotive lighting, outdoor lighting, and any kind of optical system. Beyond its disruptive competitiveness, VIEWRISE® offers the ability to process geometrically complex parts that are impossible to coat by the vacuum process. VIEWRISE® is suitable for any type of optical system made of polycarbonate, methacrylate, glass, or sapphire, and it decreases the loss by reflection on the visible spectrum up to near infra-red.

11 November 2019: Space Qualified Fiber Coupled AOMs

Sparks, MD - An Acousto-Optic Modulator (AOM) made by the Brimrose Corporation of America is now being implemented by NASA as part of a new facility known as the Cold Atom Laboratory (CAL) on the International Space Station (ISS). We are delighted that our acousto-optic modulator was selected by NASA for this important mission. It is another example of how we customize our A-O devices for various applications so that they can be used throughout the world and on into space.

The Cold Atom Laboratory was developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and already has begun operating on the ISS. It will provide scientists with an improved set of tools for probing the realm of quantum mechanics, which is the study of nature at the very smallest scale.

The Fiber Coupled AOM is considered to be the key component inside CAL for manipulating the atoms for interferometry, according to James Kellogg, CAL Engineer of Lasers and Optics at the Jet Propulsion Lab. It is a solid-state device that can tune laser light to very specific frequencies while switching “ON” and “OFF” in less than 100 nanoseconds.
The CAL facility will produce clouds of ultra-cooled atoms called Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC). These are chilled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, or even colder than the average temperature of deep space. The atoms in a BEC demonstrate quantum characteristics at relatively large-size scales, allowing researchers to explore this strange domain with greater understanding.

To reach these ultra-cold temperatures, the CAL uses a three-step process. First, lasers are used to corral the atoms and slow them down, stealing their energy and reducing the temperature to approximately 100 microKelvin. This step is completed with a device called a magneto-optical trap. The cooled atoms are then help in a “magnetic trap” that causes the warmest atoms in the cloud to separate from the cooler atoms; radio waves then push the warm atoms away, reducing the cloud’s overall temperature to less than 1 microKelvin. Thirdly, the cloud’s natural expansion causes the temperature to drop further (this is called adiabatic expansion) into the 100 picoKelvin range.

In one year, the CAL instrument is expected to be fitted by astronauts with a new atom trapping cell that is currently being designed to deliver the AOM light pulses to the atoms.

Brimrose have been designing custom A-O Modulators for more than 35 years. The A-O modulators are used to control laser beam intensity, frequency modulation, frequency shifting, to control pulses and more. Brimrose AOMs are offered from the ultraviolet to LWIR wavelength ranges for low and high optical power operation. These cover frequency ranges from just a few MHz up to 3.5 GHz.

10 November 2019: MY Polymers Specialized Re-Coating Materials: High Flexibility plus High Adhesion for Improved Reliability

Specialized Re-Coating materials enable dramatic improvements in thermal cycling and thermal shock testing. High flexibility (Low Modulus) prevents stress from building up because the re-coating material can stretch more easily under thermal cycling conditions. Adding High Adhesion to the fiber core results in Optimal Re-Coating Materials.
Take the example of our LM-136-EA. This Re-Coating material was designed for Re-Coating of stripped optical fibers having a Primary Coating with an index of 1.36. Compared to the old way of using the primary coating resin for re-coating, LM-136-EA offers the crucial advantages of Higher Flexibility (Lower Modulus) and Higher Bond Strength to the fiber core. A Primary coating must have relatively low adhesion, due to the need to keep stripping ability. Due to various reasons (durability, and the same need to keep stripping ability) the Modulus of a Primary Coating must be kept above some minimal value. These restrictions do not apply to a Re-Coating material.
The LM (Low Modulus) product line was designed with these properties (High Flexibility and High Adhesion) and with these objectives in mind. Customers are becoming aware of these benefits, and the sales of our LM products are growing at a fast rate.
The new breed of LM-14X-NI Re-Coating materials from MY Polymers includes also reduced sensitivity to oxygen inhibition, and optimized response for the new generation of UV LED spot curing units.
The combination of Low Modulus (High Flexibility), High Adhesion to the core, reduced sensitivity to oxygen inhibition, and compatibility with UV LED spot curing enables breakthrough performance in Thermal Cycling and ease of use.

8 November 2019: LumiTop X150 - 150 MP color sensor and pixel shift mechanism

Fast end-of-line display tests
For particularly critical tasks, Instrument Systems offers the LumiTop series of spectrally optimized imaging colorimeters. The innovative concept of these camera models combines an RGB camera and a flicker diode with a high-end spectroradiometer of the CAS series. The accurate data of the spectrometer measurement is used as a reference and guarantees spectroradiometric precision, distributed over the complete image. On account of this unique combination of precision and speed, the LumiTop series is ideal for use in display production lines and in-process quality control. A wide range of test applications can be realized in a single measuring station. Together with the accompanying LumiSuite software, the LumiTop is the perfect measurement solution for fast end-of-line testing of the latest display quality standards in the OEM sector.

Technology-driving applications such as AR/VR displays feature ever smaller and tightly packed pixels. In this regard, the likelihood of luminance and color deviations between pixels and subpixels is increased, and this may seriously influence the visual quality of the display. Instrument Systems developed the ultra-high resolution LumiTop X150 with precisely this in mind. It has a 150 MP color sensor and a pixel shift mechanism that enables a resolution of 600 MP per color channel. This permits full display characterization at pixel level in a single shot. Applications for the X150 are fast and precise quality control, as well as pixel calibration of OLEDs and μLED displays.

7 November 2019: Exhibitor Demonstration - "Transforming Optical Structure Technology Through Innovative System Integration"

PLX Inc's Senior Optical and Production Engineer, Martin Rost, will be presenting PLX Inc's latest technology - M.O.S.T.™ on Thursday, February 6 11:00am at Demo Area 2 (Hall EF).

For the past 60 years PLX has been at the forefront of developing high-quality monolithic optics that can withstand and perform under the harshest environmental conditions and maintain their accuracy over time.

Founded in 1955 as Precision Lapping and Optical Company, PLX began by producing highly accurate optical domes, lenses, prisms, and mirrors with its proprietary technologies and manufacturing capabilities.

In 1970 PLX invented the hollow retroreflector, which placed us at the heart of innovation for the NASA manned and unmanned space exploration missions of the era.

In the 1990s PLX leveraged its space heritage, patented technologies and proprietary processes to develop targeting systems that satisfied the most exacting defense specifications.

Coming into the 21st century, PLX developed M.O.S.T.™ (Monolithic Optical Structure Technology), opening up an array of applications like Boresighting and Interferometry, for the most flight-critical military and space programs.

Engineers save significant time initially when integrating M.O.S.T.™ into a system, since it is a solid pre-aligned block. In addition, the long-term maintenance savings are enormous. Because we’ve permanently aligned this extremely stable assembly, you will never need to adjust it!

PLX has developed M.O.S.T.™ based upon their mature, proprietary optical technology. This technology makes it possible to integrate different glass types and exotic materials, such as KBr, ZnSe, CaFl2 and Spinel, into a M.O.S.T.™ assembly. This is especially useful when the system has to perform in broadband light applications, such as FTIR. This integration results in a “sandwich structure,” or solid box-like assembly that not only exhibits exceptional thermal and mechanical stability but also lasts indefinitely.

4 October 2019: BeamXpertDESIGNER

The simulation software BeamXpert®DESIGNER calculates the propagation of laser radiation through optical systems in real time and is exactly adapted to the needs of laser developers and laser users. BeamXpert®DESIGNER can be learned quickly, operated intuitively, offers a CAD-like 3D representation and speaks the language of laser technology. This allows precise results to be achieved quickly and significantly accelerates the user's workflow.

The easy-to-learn software BeamXpert®DESIGNER is exactly adapted to the needs of laser developers and users and the very fast basic algorithm enables 3D real-time simulation. Users in industry and research regularly face the challenge of designing optical systems for the propagation and guidance of laser radiation. However, previous optical simulation programs have been difficult to learn, complicated to use, slow to respond and did not meet the special requirements of users in the field.

BeamXpert®DESIGNER provides parameters such as beam diameter, waist position and Rayleigh length as well as additional beam propagation parameters in accordance with ISO 11145 and 11146 at any point in the optical setup. This allows BeamXpert®DESIGNER to quickly and efficiently design optical systems for laser radiation.

BeamXpert®DESIGNER uses two different modeling approaches. The first model uses the propagation of the first and second order moments of the intensity distributions for simulation. A proprietary approach allows a less restrictive application of the paraxial approximation. Since the calculation is very fast, the simulation can be performed in real time.

In the second model, the laser radiation is represented by a bundle of geometrical-optical beams propagated through the system using classical raytracing. These beams are designed to correspond to the so-called Gauss-Schell model. From the beam, the beam propagation parameters, including the particularly important beam quality factor M², can be derived at any location in the optical system.

The extent of aberrations (e.g. due to inappropriate lens selection or arrangement) can be detected by analyzing the beam quality factor of the beam as it passes through the optical system.

Therefore, a typical workflow is the interactive design of the optical system using the propagation of the intensity moments with subsequent control for aberrations with the aid of Gauss-Schell beams.

1 October 2019: axiom 532, ultra-low noise

The axiom 532 is an ultra-low noise laser from Laser Quantum. The axiom 532 lends itself to Ti:Sapphire pumping as the pump laser noise is transferred directly to the noise of the Ti:Sapphire laser. When the typical noise value is <0.02% RMS, this factor is greatly reduced, even at powers up to 12 W.
The exceptional beam profile produced by the axiom 532 is ideal in fluorescence microscopy and optical trapping. The power stability and M2 close to unity enable a tight focal point at the sample plane.

1 October 2019: Green Lasers Allow Finer Structures: New precSYS 515 micromachining subsystem for electronics fabrication

Leading OEM scan solution manufacturer SCANLAB GmbH is presenting a new member of its precSYS product line at the Photonics West 2020 tradeshow in San Francisco, California. Five-axis precSYS subsystems enable industrial ultra-short-pulse (USP) laser micromachining of flexible, definable geometries with high aspect ratios. The availability of a subsystem optimized for 515-nm lasers is particularly attractive in the electronics industry, where it allows creating probe cards with even finer lateral structures.
Ongoing technological advances in the consumer electronics and mechanical engineering sectors bring countless changes to how electronic components such as PCBs, control elements and sensors are made. Here, a relatively new laser processing market is the production of probe cards for testing integrated circuits. These probe cards place the highest demands on laser micromachining systems used in micro-structuring applications.
To even better address such demands, SCANLAB is extending its precSYS product line with a subsystem optimized for 515-nm green lasers. That’s exactly half the applied wavelength of a 1030-nm infrared laser, which leads to a much smaller spot size and enhanced lateral precision in processing challenging materials. At the same beam aperture angle, a larger aspect ratio is achievable.
All precSYS scan solutions are galvo-based 5-axis subsystems for integration into laser machines. Thanks to their flexible laser beam positioning capabilities (in the x, y, z, α and β directions), these scan heads offer the highest freedom in developing new process strategies. Circular, elliptical or linear trajectories can be defined for processing in 2D or 3D.
Effective immediately, the entire product line has received a servo control strategy update that enables even higher rotational frequencies and processing speeds in drilling operations. The new DrillControl software version supports both versions of precSYS and allows to use also existing laser jobs. Initial precSYS 515 systems will be orderable
as of Q4 2019.

Optical design of the quattroXX provides theoretically lossless energy re-distribution of TEM00 or multimode lasers at various wavelengths, its efficiency doesn’t depend on the beam BPP (M²) or beam size, and the refractive optical components guarantee high resistance to radiation of multi-kW CW or pulsed lasers and reduced thermally induced focus shift. As afocal optical system the multi-focal optics is installed between a collimator and a focusing lens, in case of scanning optics before the scanner. Due to low sensitivity to misalignments and compact design the quattroXX optical devices can be quickly, easily and simply integrated in already existing processed heads.

28 August 2019: GL.compact II

Precision meets design: innovative product solutions for universal laser machining

GFH GmbH already brought a smaller version of its GL.evo flexible laser machining station to market a few years ago with the GL.compact. In order to guarantee this space-saving solution for universal laser micro machining as well, the laser equipment manufacturer is offering a production solution that delivers extensive machining diversity notwithstanding its very small footprint under the name GL.compact II. Numerous further developments of the GL.evo were implemented in the compact system as well – among other things in the form of higher movement accuracy and the possibility of universal 5-axis simultaneous machining. The machine with its highly innovative design adapted to ergonomic requirements waspresented for the first time at this year’s LASER World of Photonics in Munich.

In addition to the highest machining precision, the fundamental concept in the development of the new GL.compact II laser system encompassed an appealing design, universal installation possibilities and an automation function for series production. The machine is versatile in application and covers the entire laser machining spectrum – from micro-drilling to precision blanking and milling to laser turning. It consistently guarantees the highest machining precision. Another objective was to achieve increased vertical integration and value creation within the company with this system, reducing supplier dependencies and offering more efficient service with shorter response times to customers. Aside from the flexible field of application, stable accuracy over the long term and the small footprint support fast amortisation of the system that comes at a comparably attractive price.
Extended equipment for the greatest flexibility and accuracy

The GL.compact II was designed for 5-axis simultaneous machining, which is already standard in the high-end multifunctional GL.evo system. “We have improved five-axis simultaneous machining over the past years, optimising the repeat accuracy among other things,” explains Anton Pauli, CEO of GFH GmbH. To this end the new compact version was fundamentally optimised in terms of axis dynamics and precision through further development of the drive and guidance technology. High-precision guides ensure high repeat accuracy on all axes, and the exclusive use of direct linear motors has a positive impact on movement accuracy. A repeat accuracy of 1 µm in the X, Y and Z-directions is realised as a result. For the B and C-axes, it was reduced by a factor of 5 to 2 arcsec compared to the predecessor model.
In addition to the positioning and repeat accuracy of the individual axes however, the angle accuracy in particular plays a crucial role for the precision of multi-axis machining. It was therefore emphasised during development and ultimately an improvement was successfully implemented with the new axis concept. “Compared to the previous model, we achieved a considerable angle error reduction for both pitching and yawing,” says Pauli (see the illustration “Angle error”). A new cooling concept was realised for the GL.compact II to ensure this accuracy would be stable in production over the long term. In addition to the machine base, the linear axis carriages are also made of granite, reducing the material mix and stabilising the core temperature during machining processes. All heat sources in the machine are actively cooled with water, including all axis drives. This keeps the temperature level constant from the time of start-up, and an extended warm-up time of the kinematics is eliminated, even for precise processes. With this concept, the machine is very robust in response to internal and external temperature influences and thus guarantees machining results that are stable in the long term, from the prototype to series production.

Compact design with numerous expansion options

Since the system’s footprint is only 2100 mm x 1600 mm thanks to the compact design, the floor plan for the machine can be freely chosen so that finding room for it is no problem, even in smaller production halls. Numerous optional, exchangeable modules to equip and expand the GL.compact II complete the machine concept. “Here we consistently count on the established benefits of a Hirth toothing in order to keep changeover times as short as possible,” Pauli explains. “Thanks to a changeover precision of < 2 µm, the requalification of existing production processes can be omitted.”

For example, fixed or scanner optics compatible with all commercially available ultrashort pulse laser sources may be installed through the selection of optional modules. The GL.vision camera module in turn supports precise positioning of the component under the laser, including optical measurement with the resolution of a microscope. “Here we have reduced the offset between the measuring instrument and machining surface, so that longer components can now be machined on the compact system as well and the traverse paths are used more effectively,” says Pauli. Depending on the chosen optics and mounting, the machining station can process components with a length up to 200 mm in 5 axes. The optional automation function via a robot access door or quick-change component system makes it possible to swap components in seconds. With in-house machine automation development, GFH is available to its customers as the first point of contact, thereby facilitating direct manufacturer communication.

Aside from the technical innovations, external factors such as design and ergonomics were taken into account in development. Thus the GL.compact II features optimal accessibility through machining doors on all sides of the machine. The chosen frame concept offers unrivalled free movement notwithstanding the size and weight, resulting in optimal ease of use for the operator. Combined with the innovative glass design, it is not just a visual highlight with a consistent clearance but also ensures the laser and radiation safety that is important for operation. A comprehensive operating concept integrated into the machine further enhances its ease of use. The machine operator trolley featuring an ergonomic design can also be configured as an option. It is equipped with a power height-adjustable telescopic lifting column that adjusts to the operator’s height at the push of a button. The monitor angle can also be adjusted to the user’s needs.
“With the GL.compact II, we are bringing a machine to market that fully lives up to its reputation as a compact all-round model with innovative technology, a sophisticated design and ergonomic highlights,” is how Pauli sums it up.
The GL.compact II laser micro machining system is being presented for the first time at LASER World of Photonics 2019, exhibition stand 552 in hall A2. CEO Anton Pauli and his team will be available to interested visitors for consultations and questions.

9 August 2019: AR/VR Lens for In-Headset Display Measurement

The Radiant AR/VR lens features a unique optical design specially engineered for measuring the visual quality of near-eye displays (NEDs) inside virtual (VR), mixed (MR), and augmented reality (AR) headsets. The lens design simulates the size, position, and field of view of the human eye, featuring an aperture at the front of the lens to position the imaging system’s entrance pupil within NED headsets at the same location as the human eye.

“In order to correctly assess the quality of near-eye displays as viewed by a human observer, the measurement system should replicate the ability of the human eye to receive immersive visual input, and at a similar distance from the display,” says Doug Kreysar, Chief Solutions Officer at Radiant Vision Systems. “The challenge is that existing photometric measurement devices have been designed to evaluate more traditional displays like televisions and smartphones. In these systems, standard optical components position the aperture deep within the lens enclosure, limiting the camera’s ability to capture the full angular field of view of the display without occlusion by NED headset hardware. The Radiant Vision Systems AR/VR lens, by comparison, features aperture characteristics that replicate the human eye in NED headsets, including an entrance pupil positioned directly at the headset eye lens. In addition, we are able to measure a large 120° field of view, suitable to measure advanced VR devices.”

By mounting the AR/VR lens directly to a ProMetric® imaging photometer or colorimeter, Radiant Vision Systems now offers the first solution for in-headset near-eye microdisplay measurement, including display technologies based LED, LCD, OLED, and projection. Radiant TrueTest™ Software provides the leading test suite for display measurement, as well as specialized tests required in AR/VR testing, with the capability to sequence tests for rapid evaluation of all relevant display characteristics in a matter of seconds, applying selected tests to a single image captured by the camera. Standard tests in TrueTest include luminance, chromaticity, contrast, uniformity, mura (blemishes), pixel and line defects, and more. Unique tests for AR/VR display analysis include Slant Edge Contrast (for MTF measurement based on ISO 12233), Image Distortion (for distortion characterization), Image Retention/Sticking, and X,Y position reported in degrees (°). With this complete Radiant solution configured for exact application needs, manufacturers can realize an efficient measurement process with the benefit of a single provider with end-to-end support.

The AR/VR lens is an optional mounting accessory for Radiant’s 16-, 29-, and 43-megapixel CCD-based ProMetric Y Imaging Photometer or 16- and 29-megapixel ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter. By mounting a lens directly to a ProMetric imaging photometer or colorimeter, the AR/VR lens offers the most efficient means of measuring NEDs as a turnkey, compact camera/lens solution that requires minimal setup and integration time, equipment, or expertise. The AR/VR lens can easily be removed and replaced with standard lenses for additional display measurement applications, such as testing displays outside of headset equipment or on the production line. Radiant Vision Systems integrates thousands of inspection solutions into production settings worldwide, with proven expertise defining measurement systems to meet exact requirements for unique display design and quality control applications.

9 August 2019: ProMetric® Y43 43-Megapixel Imaging Photometer

The ProMetric® Y43 Imaging Photometer provides extremely high CCD resolution to enable advanced measurement capability for display and consumer electronics manufacturers. The Y43 complements the Y2, Y16, and Y29 models of Radiant’s ProMetric Y series of imaging systems, with superior imaging resolution for measuring high-definition displays at the pixel level, or for imaging electronic components and surfaces in maximum detail using a single camera.

The high spatial resolution of the Y43 allows the camera to detect pixel and subpixel luminance and color variations across display bright states (gray levels), subtle surface anomalies or particles, and other defects that are easily missed by human visual inspection or competitive measurement systems. Defects in images can be identified and quantified using Radiant’s TrueTest™ Automated Visual Inspection Software (available with tests for comprehensive display defect detection, mura identification & assessment, or application-specific testing of automotive displays, head-up displays, and augmented or virtual reality displays). TrueTest applies objective analysis and repeatable pass/fail criteria to Y-series images for fully automated quality control.

“OLED, microLED, quantum dot, and other display technologies rely on increasingly small light-emitting elements for greater visual detail and control of display brightness, color, and contrast,” states Doug Kreysar, Radiant Executive Vice President and Chief Solutions Officer. “As display pixels and subpixels shrink in size, the demand for higher-resolution measurement systems to test display visual performance at every variable element is greatly increased.”

“Engineering teams at Radiant continue to pursue of the next evolution in resolution for our imaging photometers,” Kreysar explains. “We dedicate significant time and research to ensure that we are able to achieve high-resolution imaging while maintaining the signal-to-noise advantages that Radiant measurement systems are known for. Working directly with CCD vendors, our engineers seek resolution improvements only if they do not sacrifice image quality and measurement capability. The ProMetric Y43 imaging system is the result of this commitment, providing manufacturers with a metrology solution that maximizes measurement quality at 43 megapixels.”

Radiant’s ProMetric Y-series imaging systems are engineered with scientific-grade, cooled interline CCD sensors that limit image noise for highly accurate, repeatable imaging. The new ProMetric Y43 uses a 43-megapixel (8040 x 5360) CCD sensor with low image noise for repeatability inspecting small visual details. Time to measure a complete high-resolution display at several CCD pixels per display pixel is less than 1.5 seconds, enabling production-level applications such as in-line quality control. ProMetric Y imaging systems are available with an internal Tristimulus Y filter for photometric metrology applications (light and color measurement), or as a radiometric imager for radiant intensity measurements (for imaging surfaces and non-lit components, or measuring near-infrared light).

All Radiant ProMetric imaging systems are designed to simulate human perception of brightness and color. Y-series camera systems combine the benefits of automation—speed, repeatability, and objective data—with the sensitivity of human vision to ensure that quality assessment of light and display products accurately reflects the human user’s experience. Each Y-series model is available with a variety of interchangeable lenses calibrated at each F-stop, enabling optimized measurements over a wide range of working distances and viewing angles. ProMetric Y supports high-speed USB and Ethernet communications, with reliable operation over long distances. Smart Technology™ features, including electronic focus and aperture control, simplify setup via software, reduce measurement time, and improve accuracy. A ProMetric Y imaging photometer combined with Radiant TrueTest Software provides a complete, turnkey solution for testing a variety of displays, keyboards, illuminated components, cover glass, and device surfaces.

9 August 2019: TT-ARVR™ Software for Display Testing in Virtual & Augmented Reality Headsets

Displays viewed near to the eye create immersive virtual experiences, such as those integrated into AR/VR devices. However, as display images are magnified to fill a user’s field of view (FOV), display defects are also magnified. Issues with uniformity of brightness and color, dead pixels, line defects, cloudiness, and image position become more evident to the user whose eyes are merely centimeters away from display screens.

Part of the Radiant Vision Systems family of automated inspection software, the TT-ARVR™ module provides all of the benefits of Radiant's leading TrueTest™ software platform to efficiently perform light, color, and dimensional measurements with specific tests to evaluate the quality of displays integrated into AR, VR, and MR (mixed reality) devices and headsets. A comprehensive AR/VR display test solution from Radiant combines the TT-ARVR application-specific software module, a ProMetric® Imaging Colorimeter or Photometer, and the Radiant AR/VR lens to perform rapid, automated visual inspection of AR/VR displays.

TT-ARVR uses a ProMetric imager to test all display characteristics simultaneously, capturing and processing data much faster and more consistently than a human inspector or a spot measurement device.

Comprehensive Display Test Suite
Tests for near-eye display (NED) quality include photometric measurements used to evaluate an imaged display’s light and color properties for defects and accuracy against defined tolerances. TT-ARVR allows users to define a complete set of measurement parameters and pass/fail criteria for specific points of interest on a display. The software module includes standard display tests, as well as specific tests for AR/VR quality including:

- ANSI Brightness
- ANSI Color Uniformity
- Checkerboard Contrast
- Chromaticity
- Compare POI
- Distortion 9 Point
- Distortion Dot Grid
- Distortion Line Grid Analysis
- Field View (Reports actual FOV of the display in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal)
- Focus Uniformity
- Image Export
- MTF Line Pair
- MTF Slant Edge (based on ISO 12233)
- Particle Defects
- Pattern Mura
- Pixel Defects
- Points of Interest

- Uniformity
- Warping Analysis

TT-ARVR captures dimensional measurements for projected image size and x,y position, reported in degrees (°). Software reports actual FOV of the display (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) and image position within the context of angular FOV.

Based on the TrueTest platform, any tests from the TT-ARVR test library can be added to a sequence (which are stored, so multiple sequences can be created and recalled as needed), and test parameters and pass/fail settings are input for each test. The entire sequence can be run end-to-end automatically. Individual test results are displayed and can be recorded in a report.

TT-ARVR Module Key Features and Highlights:

- Quickly apply pre-defined tests for AR/VR display measurement.
- Accurate analysis of spatial data from images captured by wide-field-of-view optics.
- Software test sequencing and API device integration to control display test images in conjunction with software analyses, enabling automated production-level testing.
- Spatial x,y positions reported in degrees (°); note image position within the context of vertical and horizontal FOV.

9 August 2019: TT-NIRI™ Software for Near-Infrared Light Source Measurement

Near-infrared (near-IR or NIR) emissions of light are used by devices to sense three-dimensional objects outside of the human visible spectrum, eliminating visible light interference and human visual distraction. However, because NIR emissions are “invisible,” test equipment must be used to ensure adequate intensity and distribution of NIR light for object detection.

Part of the Radiant Vision Systems family of automated inspection software, the TT-NIRI™ software module provides the benefits of Radiant's TrueTest™ software platform to efficiently perform image-based measurements, but with application-specific tests to evaluate the accuracy of 940 nm NIR LEDs, lasers, and structured light patterns used for:

- Facial and gesture recognition
- Eye tracking and iris detection
- Automotive LiDAR for autonomous vehicle sensing
- Multimodal sensing for gesture and motion control
- Other non-visible 3D sensing applications

A comprehensive NIR test solution from Radiant combines the TT-NIRI application-specific software module with the Radiant NIR Intensity Lens solution to perform rapid, automated visual inspection of NIR emitters. Utilizing the Fourier optics of the NIR Intensity Lens solution, TT-NIRI evaluates all angular emissions of a source in a single image, as well as all dots in a structured light pattern created by diffractive optical elements (or DOE).

A Radiant NIR test solution captures and processes data much faster and more consistently than a goniometric or spot measurement device. DOE dot source analytics captured by the NIR Intensity Lens and TT-NIRI software offer comprehensive radiometric data, which cannot be acquired using alternative methods such as casting a dot pattern against a wall or other Lambertian surface.

Comprehensive NIR Test Suite:

Evaluating the accuracy of NIR emissions relies on radiometric measurements to determine the scope and intensity of NIR-emitting sources, as well as the angular position of precise emission points (dots) against defined tolerances. TT-NIRI provides a comprehensive NIR test suite that allows users to define measurement parameters and pass/fail criteria for specific points of interest in an image. The software module includes specific tests for NIR light source measurement including:

- Total Flux (mW or W)
- POI Total Power
- Max Power
- Pixel Solid Angle
- Dot Source Analysis
- Flood Source Analysis
- Points of Interest
- Image Export

Diffuse "Flood" Source Analysis:

Some NIR applications rely on a strong flash of NIR light (sometimes referred to as “flood” distribution) for proximity sensing using a time-of-flight (ToF) measurement. For example, in facial recognition, flood emitters can be used to detect the presence of a face and determine focus distance, even in darkness. The “Flood Source Analysis” test in TT-NIRI software measures the flood function of these light sources to ensure they adhere to the intended performance parameters, and to identify any irregularities such as hot spots or intensity fall-off.

Analyze flood distributions from diffuse NIR light sources to evaluate uniformity across angular emissions (in terms of intensity at each degree), center values, angular fall-off, hot-spots, including:

- Full width half max (or full width 90% max, etc.)
- Average radiant intensity across the cross section
- Max radiant intensity across the cross section
- Slope widths (how long it takes the sample to “fall off” in degrees)
- Edge slopes (mW/sr) per degree (metric for how quickly or slowly the sample “falls off” on the edges)
- Center of the sample (degrees)

Structured Light Dot Pattern Analysis:

TT-NIRI includes a “Dot Source Analysis” test to output uniformity, max intensity, and flux statistics for each dot in a structured light pattern that is emitted by an NIR laser through a DOE. This test can analyze individual dots or regions of dots to ensure the patterns are projected in the correct angle (inclination, azimuth) and with the correct intensity (W/sr).

Close-up on the analysis of dot source emissions used for 3D sensing like facial or gesture recognition. Each dot in the pattern can be evaluated for accurate position and intensity, with data output including:

- Location in pixels (x,y)
- Location in inclination/azimuth (degrees)
- Intensity (W/sr)
- Peak Average Intensity (mW/sr)
- Peak Solid Angle (sr)
- Pixels at Maximum Peak
- Spot Power Uniformity (%)
- Maximum Peak Radius (°)
- Total Flux (mW or W)
- DOE Flux (mW)
- Image Export

As with all modules of the TrueTest platform, tests from the TT-NIRI test library can be added to a sequence, and test parameters and pass/fail settings are input for each test. The entire sequence can be run end-to-end automatically and stored so multiple sequences can be created and recalled as needed. Individual test results are displayed and can be recorded in a report.

9 August 2019: NIR (Near-Infrared) Intensity Lens

Radiant's Near-Infrared (NIR) Intensity Lens is engineered to measure NIR-emitting LED and laser sources used in non-visible 3D sensing applications such as facial recognition and eye tracking. Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens system is mounted directly to a Radiant ProMetric® Y16 (16-megapixel) Imaging Radiometer and uses Fourier optics to enable single-image analysis of the full angular distribution of an NIR light source. With hundreds of units already in use at test sites around the globe, the Radiant NIR Intensity Lens greatly reduces the time and complexity of comprehensive NIR source characterization, enabling production-level analysis.

“To correctly assess the function of NIR devices, a measurement system has to determine the radiant intensity of NIR emissions across its complete distribution area,” says Doug Kreysar, Chief Solutions Officer at Radiant Vision Systems. “Traditional light measurement methods like goniometric systems capture comprehensive angular emission data, but may take hours for a complete analysis and lack the resolution required,” he explained. “Common for facial recognition, diffractive optical element (DOE) dot patterns disperse a laser beam into hundreds or even thousands of individual dots that must be measured, and only an imaging system has the speed and resolution to make this measurement practical.”

Using Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens, angular measurements of NIR light distributions can be obtained instantly and comprehensively, greatly reducing test time while improving accuracy over goniometric systems. Using Fourier “conoscopic” optics, the Radiant lens system maps each emission angle from an NIR light source onto the imaging system’s CCD to capture a two-dimensional polar plot of the angular distribution, which is used to evaluate the complete scope of NIR emissions for inconsistencies in radiant intensity, power, and radiant flux across three-dimensional space.

The use of near-IR emissions for 3D sensing is growing rapidly in various industrial and medical applications, as well as consumer devices such as smart phones, augmented and virtual reality devices, smart home systems, and even automobile LiDAR. The 3D imaging and sensing market is projected to reach $18.5 billion by 2023 according to the report 3D Imaging & Sensing 2018 by Yole Development (June 2018). With this growth, the need for effective, production-ready measurement systems is critical for mass manufacturing of quality NIR-sensing devices.

Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens solution is the first commercially available Fourier optic for NIR measurement. The system captures accurate radiometric values to +/- 70 degrees with approximately 0.05-degree pixel resolution at every point measured. The system is designed for precise measurement of wavelengths from 930-950 nanometers—the range used by many devices for 3D sensing applications such as facial recognition.

The NIR Intensity Lens system can evaluate emission uniformity, total flux (mW or W), radiant intensity (min/max), as well as analyze flood distributions of diffuse NIR light sources to evaluate uniformity across angular emissions (intensity at each degree), center values, angular fall-off, hotspots, and time of flight (TOF) performance. For applications that use DOE such as facial recognition, the system automatically identifies points of interest for each dot in DOE patterns, dynamically adapting to new patterns regardless of dot position, shape, or size.

Radiant’s NIR Intensity Lens solution captures DOE pattern data in detail and outputs CSV reports containing data specific to complete DOE patterns, regions of interest, and for each dot. This statistical DOE data includes maximum peak (strongest emitter) location at x,y, maximum peak inclination/azimuth, maximum peak average, maximum peak solid angle, number of pixels at maximum peak point, spot power uniformity (between dots), total flux, and DOE flux (subtracting the background peak).

16 July 2019: Blue Photon Grippers and BlueGrip Workholding Adhesive

Blue Photon will demonstrate the advantages of their photo-activated adhesive workholding system at SPIE Photonics West this February in San Francisco. Born in the lab and field-tested in manufacturing plants all over the world, Blue Photon’s workholding products are manufacturers’ solution to secure parts for tight-tolerance machining and inspection.

Blue Photon’s workholding technology can reduce the number of operations, scrap, and labor; saving time and money. The process involves applying BlueGrip workholding adhesive to the grippers and spot curing by ultraviolet light for 60 seconds, allowing for 5-axis machining. The part debonds with a ¼ turn twist of the gripper or hot water soak. The residual adhesive is simply removed by the application with pressurized steam or hot water spray and a light peeling action.

Tests have shown that the holding force produced by the grippers can easily withstand the requirements of most machining applications. The material removal rate can exceed expectations verses mechanical clamping when a hard-to-hold part is mechanically clamped, as often times, the pressure has to be limited to avoid component distortion and marking. Blue Photon’s system can secure on all glass and ceramic surfaces; allowing for infinite workholding capabilities.

Troubleshooting features which allow engineers and service personnel to activate individual subassemblies and functions independently of other subsystems.
The control software runs on almost any Pentium class PC computer with a parallel (printer) port. The computer interfaces to the AW105R system with only 1 cable, the control interface cable. There is also an interface cable to the robot controller. There is also an interface cable for the Eurotherm controller.
The interface board inside the machine that translates the computer commands to control the machine has a watchdog timer. If this board looses communication with the control software, it will shut down all processes and halt the system until communication is restored.
Safety Features
The Allwin21 system incorporates several features to prevent damage to wafers or injury to personnel.

There is a watchdog timer on the interface board. This turns off the process parameters if the communication between the computer and the system is interrupted or the software freezes.
The RF system is interlocked to prevent their inadvertent operation when the chamber door is open.
Pneumatic: The pneumatics is used to operate the Positive Shut-off valves and the chamber door. If there is no air pressure, the shut-off valves will close. If the power is removed from the Allwin21 system, then the pneumatic gas valves close automatically.
EMO (Emergency Off): When the EMO is depressed, the power to the entire machine is turned off.
Water Flow Switch: The water needs to flow at the recommended rate that is specified in the Installation manual. When a process starts, it will check the water flow rate. If the flow rate drops below this, the process will not run and an alarm will be issued.

30 April 2019: AccuThermo AW 810 RTP

Manufacturer: Allwin21 Corp.
Condition: New
Wafer Size: Small~8 inch
Type: Desktop, Atmospheric
Temperature: 100~800°C or 450~1250°C
Gas Lines: 1 ~ 4 lines
Chamber Design: Allwin21

The AccuThermo AW810 is a rapid thermal processing (RTP) system, which uses high intensity visible radiation to heat single wafers for short process periods of time at precisely controlled temperatures. The process periods are typically 1‑600 seconds in duration, although periods of up to 9999 seconds can be selected.

These capabilities, combined with the heating chamber’s cold-wall design and superior heating uniformity, provide significant advantages over conventional furnace processing.

The AccuThermo RTP AW 810 rapid thermal annealing system consists of an oven unit and a controller computer running the Allwin21 RTAPRO controller software. The wafer to be processed is placed on a quartz tray that slides into a quartz isolation tube in the oven unit. Four banks of lamps, two above the quartz tube and two below it, provide the source of energy for heating the wafer. The lamps can be controlled manually and automatically from the controller computer.

The RTAPRO control software allows full control and diagnostics of the AccuThermo RTP system. In addition, it allows the creation of recipes for automated control of the temperature and, optionally, process gas flow.

The control software uses a set of operating instructions known as recipes to automatically control the AccuThermo RTP system. These recipes are created by the Process Engineer to monitor and control the parameters of the processing cycle. The Operator then uses the software to select and run the process parameters (steady state temperature, process time, ramp rates, etc.).

The RTAPRO software is also used to create, delete, copy, modify and store the recipes and to execute system diagnostics.

10 April 2019: KBBF

Cryslaser is only agent of KBBF in China, who can sell it.
Crystal KBBF is capable of producing DUV and even vacuum-UV coherent light by direct second harmonic generation,but a major problem is its plate-like gorth nature that makes it very difficult to grwo samples thicker than 4mm along the c-axis, and KBBF crystal is cleaves easiily, so it is impossible to cut the crystal along the pahs-matching angle.
KBBF has shortest wavelength less than 200nm.
