Antireflection coatings

An assortment of antireflection coatings improves transmission of ZnSe optics. Coatings are available for 2-14-, 3-5-, 8-12-µm, and single wavelengths. The coatings were formulated for multispectral imaging and high-power laser transmission. Custom deposition is available for prototyping or OEM needs.

Optical fiber-based TuLIPSS captures ‘snapshot’ hyperspectral images

$A nonperiodic pinhole-based photon sieve widens the display angle of a lensless digital dynamic holographic display produced by a liquid-crystal-based spatial light modulator (SLM). At top, a dynamic holographic display without the nonperiodic photon sieve has a narrow viewing angle. At bottom, a holographic display with the nonperiodic photon sieve, which diffracts light at a high angle, has a larger viewing angle. The pinhole array in the sieve is made nonperiodic to avoid creating periodic arrays of diffraction artifacts. The researchers note that the holographic objects to be displayed need to appear within the shaded regions to prevent clipping.$
