Periodic signal analysis enhances optics and photonics experiments using lock-in amplifiers and boxcar techniques.

MEMS devices can be optically characterized using several different measurement techniques. This follows the various ...

OBTAIN a measurement, however rough then endeavour to get a better, was the advice that Lord Kelvin used to urge upon his students. Quantitative analysis is the natural supplement of qualitative ...

A laser Doppler vibrometer’s (LDV) real-time capability enables measurement times roughly six orders of magnitude smaller compared to any method that is based on strobe techniques or provides a ...

Ellipsometry is a non-destructive, optical measurement technique that characterizes the optical properties of thin films. It is highly sensitive to changes in the thickness and refractive index of the ...

A photodiode detects infrared light and supports communication, sensing, and measurement systems used in electronic devices.

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 ...

Precision manufacturing relies on accurate and precise dimensional metrology for process monitoring and control. Simply put, it is impossible to sustain a manufacturing process that is both accurate ...

How fluorescence detection is used for in vitro diagnostics. Requirements for building an effective fluorescence-detection system. Why an integrated optical front-end receiver makes the most sense in ...
