Manufacturing a precision surface requires a balance between satisfying the optimum quality requirements at the minimum cost. Steve Martinek summarizes the challenges of increasing the precision ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2024.230034 discusses how the synergy of traditional techniques and deep learning enables single-frame high-precision fringe pattern ...

Laser self-mixing interferometry (SMI) harnesses the phenomenon of optical feedback by reinjecting a fraction of a laser’s output back into its cavity. This reinjection leads to an interference effect ...

In this interview, Tim Skunes from CyberOptics Corporation talks to AZoM about their 3D optical inspection technology, and how it can be used to solve challenges in SMT electronics manufacturing.

The fiber itself is used as a transducer in many fiber optic sensing systems (see the section titled “Fiber Sensors,” in ADVANCES IN OPTICAL METROLOGY, the section titled “Optical Fiber Sensors,” in ...

While the E-ELT (Extremely Large Telescope – 39.3 meter mirror) and its first suite of scientific instruments are being constructed, a third generation of instruments for the Very Large Telescope ...
