Today, the accessory industry for newborns and infants is a dynamically developing business sector. Manufacturers compete to invent increasingly sophisticated and creative products designed to help young parents in caring for their children. Among the many colourful and often unnecessary products, there are exceptional products that are designed to really help and support parents to create normality where it’s not...

Pico Technology have launched their latest 5 GHz SXRTO Sampler Extended Real Time Oscilloscope, but what is SXRTO. Learn more about the benefits and cost savings compared to Real Time Oscilloscopes, RTO below. The real-time oscilloscope Real-time oscilloscopes (RTOs) are designed with a high enough sampling rate to capture a transient, non-repetitive signal with the instrument’s specified analogue bandwidth. According...

Precise, reliable, characterisation of thin film topography and thickness, and substrate topography. Thin transparent thin films are critical across a variety of markets and applications, including consumer electronics, semiconductors and optics. Precise monitoring and control of thin film processes is achieved by measuring top surface, thickness, and substrate surface characteristics – all of which are enabled by multiple thin film measurement and...

3D technologies are becoming more and more boldly entering modern enterprises to prove themselves in other industries, departments, and fields. The most modern technological solutions are present in our homes, workplaces, and means of transport and are slowly becoming our everyday life. However, we are not always aware of how much modern technology contributes to the creation of products that...

Sample preparation in Electron Microscopy is one of the most important factors in obtaining high quality data. A key phrase to remember is if you put “rubbish in” you’ll get “rubbish out”. Therefore, how can high quality TEM samples actually be produced? This short article will try and answer this question by covering the basic steps of sample preparation for...

Changing out reference cables during the insertion loss and return loss testing process to accommodate new DUT types can cause downtime for a manufacturing line and drastically reduce the efficiency of the cable production process. With single channel DUTs and reference cables, the issue may seem inconsequential. However, in the modern fibre production line every minute counts; any method that...

In optical networks where action on a message or signal is time critical, latency becomes a critical design element. Latency in communications networks is comprised of the networking and processing of messages, as well as the transmission delay through the physical fibre. Measuring and optimising this optical transmission delay can be critical in diagnosing latency issues in a data centre...

Measuring the return loss along a fibre optic network, or within a photonic integrated circuit, is a common and very important technique when characterising a network’s or device’s ability to efficiently propagate optical signals. Reflectometry is a general method of measuring this return loss and consists of launching a probe signal into the device or network, measuring the reflected light...
