Part I: 8:30 – 10:30 am
How to Specify Polarizers, Laser Optics, and Spatial Light Modulators
Specifying the correct optical component may determine the success of an application. This session focuses on polarizers, laser damage thresholds in laser optics, custom laser optics coatings, and spatial light modulators, utilized as adaptive optical elements, their functional principles, essential properties, and corresponding effects depending on the application.
Instructors from:
CODIXX, HOLOEYE, and LASER COMPONENTS
Part II: 11:00 – 12:00 am
Important Factors to Consider When Selecting and Operating the Optimum Infrared Detector
Infrared detectors are used in a wide variety of applications including spectroscopy, gas analysis, flame detection, moisture sensing, range finding, remote temperature measurement, and even gravitational wave measurements. Whatever your instrument design or research requirements, there are a few key parameters to understand when selecting and operating the optimum IR detector.
