There’s quite a buzz with the Rosetta mission grabbing the headlines but as our lead article describes, despite the challenges of such missions, we are delighted to have been part of the project. Of course it isn’t just about the Rosetta mission, these optical filters are being used to look for any comet. We need to know about any that might come perilously close to Earth!
In this issue we provide details of our very own DLaTGS pyroelectric detectors (used in FTIR spectrometers for example or specialised gas sensors), a laser alignment tool, and even shorter dead time single photon counting modules with our COUNT®. Working together with our manufacturing partners either as a distributor or a manufacturer ourselves we aim to supply any photonic component from UV to FIR, whether it be a light source, optic like lenses or fibres, or detector. With our leading edge components you can build leading edge instruments.
I wish everyone a successful end to the year.
