The measurement of the acceptance angle of an optical fiber, which is the maximum angle at which the core of the fiber will take in light that will be contained within the core. Taken from the fiber ...

When reflecting on science and research, it is hard to find a technology that is as important as microscopy. Microscopy is not only of utmost importance as a tool for conducting research, there is ...

Designed with new manufacturing technology that creates lenses with shapes that are difficult to fabricate using other methods, Olympus’ new X Line™ series objectives and the UPLAPO-HR objectives for ...

The Fiber Optical Homogenizer (Laser Beam Stabilizers) is an all-fiber passive component which can efficiently homogenize speckle pattern and reduce unwanted modal noise (striations, hot spots, and ...

Coupling efficiencies as high as 70% are possible thanks to polymer tips fabricated on the end of optical fibers. Researchers in France have come up with a clever way of squeezing more light down an ...
