Free-space optical (FSO) communications wirelessly transmit data through the air using lasers. FSO promises to revolutionize broadband internet access.

The growth of automation has introduced machine vision lenses to more harsh environments involving shock, vibration, contaminants, and temperature swings.

Four major trending topics in machine vision technology include edge artificial intelligence (edge AI), AI paired with high-resolution sensors, event-based machine vision, and affordability of SWIR sensor technology.

Single-Material Aspheric Achromats correct chromatic aberrations with a unique geometry, leading to numerous benefits over conventional achromatic lenses.

Pulse Compression and Dispersion Compensation for Ultrafast Lasers

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and multispectral imaging (MSI) are two related technologies that make use of specialized vision systems to acquire extra image information from extended regions of the electromagnetic spectrum aside from the visible spectrum.

Athermalization is a type of ruggedization that mitigates the harmful effects of thermal expansion and defocus in optical and imaging systems.
