Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Laser through-beam sensors feature high-accuracy optics that operate to 50 m and have a switching frequency of 5 kHz. The device's narrowly focused beam allows detection of very small objects. A ...

Research scientist and entrepreneur Sverre Dokken believes laser-based remote sensing has big potential in the maritime domain. But what is LADAR, who’s it for and what are the key benefits? “Our ...

Physik Instrumente’s S-335 two-axis fast steering mirrors with PICMA piezo actuators aim to be the benchmark for laser beam steering in high-speed applications. Ceramic encapsulated PICMA piezo ...

Coherent Corp. has announced the expansion of its PowerMax sensor portfolio with the introduction of the PM15K+ high-power laser sensor and a backscatter shield for the PM10K+. The PM15K+ can measure ...

Scientists in South Korea have achieved a major milestone in physics – and one pursued by researchers in the field for decades – by generating a record-breaking ultra-high intensity laser. The pulse ...

Metasurface converts Gaussian beams to uniform light via polarization encoding, boosting NMR co-magnetometer sensitivity 23% for compact quantum sensors.

PowerPhotonic, a developer of freeform, wafer-scale optics, this week launched a new Variable Beam Shaper, while exhibiting at SPIE Sensors and Imaging exhibition and conference, in Edinburgh, UK. The ...
