Together with customers at home and abroad, LASER COMPONENTS has taken a leading role in the industry and made every effort to ensure that the supply of PbX detectors remains secure. These companies have applied for exemption from the RoHS regulations in Brussels.

This reference design from Texas Instruments details a solution to drive and control two stepper motors for dynamic headlight levelling and swivelling in automotive headlight applications such as an adaptive LED driving module or a high-resolution DLP module. 

Light Distance and Ranging (LiDAR) systems have been utilised in atmospheric monitoring system to give researchers powerful insight in atmospheric properties. These include studying clouds, wind, temperature and gases. Typically a LiDAR system would consist of an output and input beam. 

Diodes Incorporated has announced the BCR430UW6 linear LED driver with ultra-low dropout voltage and constant current regulation between five and 100mA. This combination allows more LEDs to be driven from a low supply voltage, making the BCR430UW6 suitable for applications that require multiple LEDs to operate together, such as signage illumination and architectural lighting.

OmniVision Technologies has announced the OV48C, a 48MP image sensor with a large 1.2 micron pixel size to enable high resolution and low light performance for smartphone cameras. The OV48C is an image sensor for high resolution mobile cameras with on-chip dual conversion gain HDR, which eliminates motion artifacts and produces an excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Specialised Imaging reports that the Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer at RWTH Aachen University in Germany has invested in a Kirana Ultra High-Speed camera to undertake fundamental research that underpins the development of bio-hybrid fuels for the next generation of sustainable transportation. Research at the University of Aachen Fuel Science Center (FSC) aims to develop high density liquid energy carriers ('bio-hybrid fuels'), for ...

NeuxPark have completed a major Goodlight LED project to refit the lighting in four international station car parks in the South of England with long life, energy efficient LED lamps and luminaires from the Goodlight range. 3,000 LED luminaires including 400 emergency kits were installed in multi-storey and open car parks across these sites, providing the car park owners with up to 80% energy savings.

Resolve Optics has developed optimised large format lenses that offer low distortion and uniform high performance across the entire focal plane. Resolve Optics large format lenses are custom lenses designed to match the performance abilities of the high-end megapixel type camera used in your vision application.

Signify has announced that it is helping the city of Davos to achieve its sustainability goals by upgrading both Davos’ streetlights as the lighting of the city’s Congress Centre to high-quality energy-efficient LEDs. Davos will host business and political leaders from around the world during the World Economic Forum.

Optical Surfaces is an international manufacturer of Off-Axis Parabolic Mirrors (OAPs) for demanding imaging applications. Off-axis parabolic mirrors can be a useful tool in optical design. OAPs combine the achromatic and diffraction limited imaging properties of a parabolic mirror with the ability to deviate the light path off-axis, which is useful for most imaging systems.
