• Group Delay Dispersion – What it is and why ultrafast laser applications care about it?

    by IDEX Health & Science

    The term Group Delay in optics is the relative amount of time light of different frequencies is delayed as it travels through a transmitting medium (like an optic made of glass) or it rattles around inside the many layers of a thin-film coating. At some frequencies (or wavelengths), it takes light longer to emerge from the medium or thin-film coating than at other frequencies.

  • How to achieve high blocking by combining filters

    by IDEX Health & Science

    It is possible to increase blocking by combining two or more filters together. However, with modern high-performance filters that block light by reflection, one should not try to increase blocking merely by stacking two filters immediately next to one another—combining filters this way only works when multiple reflections between the filters are reduced or eliminated!

  • Build Your Own Fluorescence Filter Set

    by IDEX Health & Science

    Despite the availability of “standard filter sets” (a combination of optimally designed exciter, dichroic and emitter filters) offered by optical filter manufacturers, it is not uncommon for researchers to build their own “custom filter sets” comprised of unique combinations of otherwise standard individual filters. Explore common pitfalls and key considerations when building custom optical filter sets.

  • Ion-Beam-Sputtered (IBS) Thin-film Interference Filters for Nonlinear Optical Imaging

    by IDEX Health & Science

    In this paper we discuss various important characteristics of hard-coated thin-film interference filters, such as high light throughput, steep edges, and high out-of-band blocking, all of which require careful consideration when designing and manufacturing optical filters for NLO imaging applications.

    by IDEX Health & Science

    RheoLinkTM is a two-wire serial interface based on I2C bus. When exchanging data, one device is the master (controls the clock line), while the other device acts as the slave. In the I2C protocol, each device has a seven-bit address. To initiate a data transfer, the master must first transmit the address of the slave device that it wishes to ‘talk’ to.
