OPI has partnered with PARC, a Xerox company, to commercialize a low cost optical interrogator. The Wavelength Shift Detection (WSD) technique provides a compact, low-cost and scalable system capable of measuring the resonant shift of a target (e.g. Fiber Bragg …
Open Photonics is working with VTT in Finland on the commercialization of their Piezo and MEMS tunable Fabry-Perot Filters. VTT has studied MEMS- and Piezo-based FPIs since early 90’s. Their Fabry-Perot technology is an enabling platform towards smaller, lighter, smarter …
We have found some incredibly high color quality LEDs based on Red-Green-Blue phosphors pumped by near UV LEDs. Currently, white LEDs can be made by several different methods. The most common method is to combine a yellow phosphor wavelength converter …
Open Photonics is exploring the development of a new class of lightweight, strong and inexpensive mirror substrates. By utilizing Polymer-Derived Ceramic (PDC) materials, we will provide a new pathway to lighter mirror substrate materials that can be produced in an …
Today, most Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) systems are large and bulky. This is typically due to the fact that the laser that generates the plasma is a flash-lamp pumped, nanosecond, q-switched system illuminating the target with tens of millijoules …
If you think that today’s fiber-lasers, OPSLs and DPSSLs are cumbersome and suffer from amplitude noise, you might find this high-tech start-up very interesting. We are helping to introduce a whole new class of lasers: directly doubled diode lasers. By …
A New Option in portable analysis A hand-held portable elemental analyzer which uses a powerful micro-laser beam. The laser causes a high temperature plasma to be formed on the surface of the test piece and the light generated indicates the …
