The 2019 Prism Awards have been won an automotive lidar system, a head-mounted display for augmented reality, a tuneable industrial fibre laser, and a cloud-based Raman spectrometer
Nanoelectronics research hub, Imec, has developed an on-chip solution for Raman spectroscopy, which it says could be integrated into smartphones. The technology is on display at SPIE Photonics West
PicoQuant has unveiled the FluoTime 250, a compact, robust and fully-automated system that increases the ease of performing time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy studies
Hamamatsu Photonics has recently developed their smallest grating spectrometer, the SMD series mini-spectrometer C14384MA, offering high near-infrared sensitivity, compact size, light weight and low cost
Princeton Instruments has introduced the SpectraPro HRS-750, a new 750 mm focal length spectrograph and scanning monochromator that features an astigmatismcorrected optical design, a mechanical scanning range of 0-1,500nm, as well as exceptional resolution of 0.05nm or better
For water window imaging, HHG laser spectroscopy, x-ray plasma diagnostics, extreme ultraviolet lithography, optical characterisation, metrology and calibration, the McPherson Model 251MX high-energy flat-field spectrograph delivers uncompromising performance
Imaging spectroscopy offers a powerful way to understand this world and others, and optical innovations are enhancing its capabilities, finds Andy Extance
Advances in Raman spectroscopy could one day make invasive blood glucose tests a thing of the past
A white paper showing how the FLS1000 Photoluminescence Spectrometer is used to investigate the emission properties of a phosphor coated indium gallium nitride white light LED using both steady state and time-resolved electroluminescence spectroscopy.
Raman spectroscopy is emerging as a rapid, portable tool to test premium liquors for evidence of adulteration or substitution –problems relevant in the rising production of pisco in Peru, where the liquor must originate from specific grape varieties and regions. Here we demonstrate the ability of 1064 Raman to distinguish pure pisco from mixtures, identify the specific grape variety, and quantify both ethanol and methanol content with a high degree of accuracy – thus validating origin, quality, and safety.
