Product Highlights

  • HGH Infrared Systems LWIR camera scans 360° every second
    August 20, 2008--A long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera introduced by HGH Infrared Systems (Cambridge, MA and Igny, France) rotates once a second, capturing a new image each rotation with a 20° vertical and 360° horizontal field of view.
  • NIST scientists make quantum dots emit photons one at a time
    August 19, 2008--Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST; Gaithersburg, MD) and the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), a collaborative center of the University of Maryland (College Park, MD) and NIST, have developed a new way to fine-tune the light coming from indium arsenide quantum dots by manipulating them with pairs of lasers.
  • Plastic OLEDs may have efficiency limit of 25%
    August 18, 2008--An organic spin transistor may be plausible, say University of Utah researchers. But their study hints that efficient OLEDs will have limits.

Multispectral cameras

The FD-1665 series of 3-CCD cameras contains three sensors, fitted with customer-specified optical filters, to simultaneously capture images through a single lens. It comes in 1.4-, 2-, and 5-megapixel resolutions. Users can select a preconfigured 3-, 5-, 7-, or 9-channel camera to configure an application-specific system. It can have any combination of narrow- or broadband filter coatings between 380 and 1100 nm.
