Digital UV Cameras
The Mark V Series from Sarnoff Corp. (Princeton, NJ) offers three portable deep UV cameras focusing on low-speed imaging applications such as microscopy, spectroscopy, corona detection, and deep UV laser material processing. The 16 fps camera is available with 512 x 512 resolution (512-16-FT) and 1K x 1K resolution (1024-16-FF), operating in full-frame transfer format. Both have a standard CameraLink-compatible output port and two optional Firewire or USB output ports. The 55 fps 512-55-SFT camera has 512 x 512 pixel resolution in split-frame-transfer format.

Digital Light Source System
Gamma Scientific’s (San Diego, CA) RS-5B Digital Light Source System is spectrally tunable, programmable, and self-calibrating. Applications include photometric and radiometric calibrations and performance verification of solid-state light sources, photodiodes, imaging systems, and CCD/CMOS sensors and cameras. Used either standalone or with a computer, the unit’s 16-bit, color-tunable output can be set to cover all or any portion of the UV/visible/near-IR region.

High-Speed Camera
The JAI PULNiX (Sunnyvale, CA) AccuPiXEL TM-6740CL offers up to 200 fps at full resolution and 3205 fps in partial scan and binning modes. The 1/3" VGA-format progressive scan camera is based on the Kodak KAI-0340 CCD imager with 7.4-µm² pixels and 640x480 resolution. It has analog and digital Camera Link dual-tap output that is 8- or 10-bit software selectable. A patent-pending, built-in look-up table (8-bit only) optimizes video, permitting maximum dynamic range control. Features include a 50.8 x 50.8 x 85.1-mm housing, software GUI, automatic dual-channel compensation, and built-in pattern generator.

RGB Delivery System
OZ Optics’ (Ottawa, Canada) one-source solution for combining Red (633-690 nm), Green (514-543 nm), and Blue (400-488 nm) light sources into one singlemode or polarization maintaining fiber is suitable for applications requiring white light illumination from a fiber. Applications include color laser confocal microscopy, spectroscopy, full color laser displays, and color holography. The WDM units can transmit several hundred milliwatts of visible light, while maintaining polarization by up to better than 20 dB (higher extinction ratios available).

Fiber Optic Illuminator
Axometrics’ (Huntsville, AL) FOI-1 Fiber Optic Illuminator is a self-contained arc lamp source optimized for coupling light into SMAconnectorized multimode optical fibers from 100 to 1,000 µm core diameter. Using the latest Enhanced Metal Arc, DC gas discharge lamp technology, it has a high color temperature (6500 K), small arc size, and nearly twice the luminous efficacy of typical Xenon lamps. High output power is realized from 350 to 1100 nm.

Diode Laser Stacks
Delivering high power from a compact, easy-to-integrate package, Cascades™ diode laser stack arrays from nLight (Vancouver, WA) come in wavelengths from 790 to 980 nm (50, 60, 80, or 100 W of CW power) and 1435 to 1570 nm (20 W CW power). The 1 cm wide, micro-channel water-cooled bars are suitable for direct-diode materials processing, medical applications, and as a pump source for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. The stacks can include fast axis and slow axis collimation optics and be configured horizontally or vertically (max. 20 bars high or 6 bars across).
