They sell standard off the shelf and custom designed sensors and sensor arrays. These sensors can be equipped with a pinhole and scanned across the laser beam to create a 3D intensity profile using an O-scope or using a data acquistion system. http://www.eltecinstruments.com/ The best way to get information is to call their top technical guy, David Cima.... http://www.beamloop.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,30/func,view/id,4/catid,16/ Hello, Does anyone know of a phosphor coating that will fluoresce in the visible when exposed to 9.6 to 10.6 micron radiation? Or any other technique, other than expensive thermal cameras. Any possible MEMS or Microbolometer array sensor? Please post any ideas.... http://www.beamloop.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,30/func,view/id,3/catid,12/ Hitachi Via Mechanics, Emerging Technology Group (HVM ETG) is offering surplus optics to students. HVM ETG is located in Londonderry, NH, USA and has left over research level diffractive optics (no fully optimized) from process development studies. HVM ETG is willing to provide optics to students looking for projects to meet their requirements for college or university. The only requirement is that testing data is shared with HVM ETG on the particular device after the work is completed. If... http://www.beamloop.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,30/func,view/id,2/catid,11/ Many of us have coded or tested existing software with standard algorithms for diffractive optic design. This forum is interested in examples of tricks of the trade. Any research is welcome, where engineers or other researchers have slightly modified existing design algorithm technqiues and acheived extraordinary results (good, bad or no change - all data is welcome).... http://www.beamloop.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,30/func,view/id,1/catid,11/ Please feel free to add your wisdom to this forum....
