Plasma Deposition Process
Alluxa, Inc.(Santa Rosa, CA) recently
introduced its next-generation
SIRRUS™ plasma physical vapor deposition
(PVD) platform offering full
spectral coverage from ultraviolet (200
µm) to infrared (14 µm). The proprietary
process enables optical filters with the steepest edges,
highest transmission, and deepest blocking available while
maintaining high-performance, precision wavelength control,
and extremely uniform coatings. The new extended spectral
performance is available on a variety of Alluxa's optical filters,
including ultra-narrow bandpass filters, bandpass filters, dichroic,
notch, and multiband filters. The UV to mid-IR coatings
can also be deposited on various substrate shapes and sizes
and even on large format parts. Other SIRRUS PVD features
include high-volume output, quick turn manufacturing of new
designs, and very high layer counts that deliver the highest possible
spectral performance.

1000:1 Extinction Ratio Beamsplitter
Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O)
(Santa Ana, CA) announced a new polarizing
beamsplitter cube that splits up the
S & P polarization of light with extinction
ratios from Tp/Ts 1000:1 and Rs/Rp
1000:1. PG&O's specialty beamsplitters
are designed to work with lasers and are
well-suited for other optical applications.
The entrance and exit faces of the cube beamsplitters are carefully
coated with anti-reflection (AR) coatings to greatly improve the
performance of the cube. With advanced optical coatings from
PG&O that operate from 200 nm - 2500 nm, these innovative
beamsplitters can be customized to meet the critical specifications
of customers. The company's previously announced 200:1 and
the new 1000:1 extinction cube polarizing beamsplitters are both
used in applications where two polarization components need to
be analyzed, or used simultaneously.

GigE Camera
Teledyne FLIR (Wilsonville, OR) Introduced
the latest addition to their polarized
Blackfly S GigE camera lineup -
the BFS-PGE-123S6P-C. This new 12MP
model is well suited for applications
dealing with reflective and/or challenging lighting conditions.
The new camera pairs the Sony IMX253 MZR sensor with an easyto-use
glare reduction feature built into the Spinnaker SDK, making
application development and deployment fast and easy. These
new GigE cameras with Power over Ethernet (PoE) also take advantage
of a new Lossless Compression feature, delivering up to
14 FPS at full resolution without compromising on image quality.
Weighing just 36 grams, it delivers resolution of 4096 × 3000 @ 10
FPS (up to 14 FPS with Lossless Compression enabled).

Photonics & Imaging Technology, May 2022
3D Laser Scanner
Hexagon's (North Kingstown, RI)
Manufacturing Intelligence division
announced its new ultra high-speed
Absolute Scanner AS1. The modular
blue laser line scanner operates
with both laser trackers and portable
measuring arms. The AS1 integrates Hexagon's unique SHINE
(Systematic High-Intelligence Noise Elimination) technology
so users can scan most any surface type at maximum speed and
accuracy while SHINE's advanced algorithms do the hard work
in the background. The new AS1 offers a data collection speed
of 1.2 million points per second and delivers scanning accuracy
within 50 microns in a 60 meter volume, handheld or automated,
with an Absolute Tracker AT960 laser tracker. For small to
medium size parts or products, the scanner unit can be mounted
to any current-generation Absolute Arm 7-axis system for scanning
and hidden area inspection with scanning accuracy of 16
microns within a measurement volume from 2 - 4.5 meters.

Laser Power Meter
Gentec-EO (Quebec City, Canada)
recently launched MIRO ALTITUDE,
its new top-of-the-line laser
power and energy display device.
The new MIRO ALTITUDE features
an intuitive user interface; a 10 " high-resolution, anti-glare
touchscreen; numerous connectivity possibilities; three display
modes; a built-in data viewer; and a built-in file manager. Connectivity
options include: Ethernet, RS232, GPIO, external trigger,
sync out, analog out, USB-C and 2 USB. MIRO ALTITUDE
has 3 display modes, including one that lets you time-travel to
check past data points without interrupting the current measurement
session, and another mode with extra-large size digits
that you can view from across the room. Measurements can be
made up to 10x faster (detector-dependant) with XNR AnticipationTM.
MIRO ALTITUDE is compatible with all Gentec-EO
detectors, both power and energy.

XY Alignment Stages
New high-resolution and high-repeatability
AU200-100×100 Alignment Stages
have been released by Optimal Engineering
Systems, Inc. (OES) (Van Nuys, CA).
Supplied with a standard 4 mm-per-turn
ground lead screw or an optional 1 mmper-turn
ground lead screw, AU200-100×100 Alignment Stages are
capable of 1-micron resolution and 2-micron repeatability. Preloaded
V-groove and crossed roller bearings contribute to the high
precision and stiffness of the AU200-100x100 Alignment Stages.
The footprint of these low profile (80 mm) tables is 348 mm ×
348 mm and they feature a large 188mm × 188mm open aperture.
A precise pattern of threaded holes allows for the mounting of
tooling and fixtures or an optional solid top plate.
