The APEX Technologies Ultra High Resolution Optical Spectrum Analyser (OSA) can be used to measure the active/passive optical component insertion loss/gain thanks to the possibility to synchronise the internal Tunable Laser Source and the OSA sweepings. In this context, the APEX OSA remains a perfect tool to measure the Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensor reflection with 1 MHz of resolution...

For 30+ years Lambda Photometrics have represented Stanford Research Systems (SRS) in the UK as SRS’s authorised UK distributor and service centre with unparalleled experience of supporting their products. To ensure best value for money some companies require several quotes to satisfy their organisation’s purchasing policy. In order to clarify any confusion over comparisons between Lambda’s pricing and SRS’s International...

An absolute position measurement system has a noise floor of less than 0.02 nm/√Hz over a range of 1.2 mm. Measuring to the nanometer scale is no small feat—getting there takes careful engineering and a fundamentally good sensor. The sensors used for stage position feedback inside semiconductor lithography tools regularly achieve this level of precision. Zygo has supplied displacement measuring...

Scratch/Dig measurement systems from Savvy Optics and Dioptic have begun life looking at flat surfaces up to 100mm square or 45mm diameter respectively. Recent advances (through demand) now allow for measurements to be made over large flat areas using the SavvyInspector SIF-16 which can cover an area of 200mm x 400mm. On parts that larger, full part mapping is essential...

Stanford Research Systems BGA244 The BGA244 Binary Gas Analyser from Stanford Research Systems (SRS) is a new product harnessing the fundamental physical principles of acoustic resonance to measure the speed of sound in a gas mixture and provide gas ratio measurements with errors as low as 100ppm. This technique has advantages over conventional thermal conductivity binary gas analysers with...

Lambda Photometrics are pleased to announce the first CMOS cameras from Baumer with an exposure time down to 1µs in the mainstream segment of digital industrial cameras. The CX models including the second generation of Sony Pregius sensors feature exposure times ranging from 1µs to 60s. Available with up to 12 megapixel resolution, they are ideal in tasks at high...
