Safety eyewear

Safety eyewear that filters out 1064-nm and 10.6-µm radiation also offers 50% visible light transmission. The Bollé Nd:YAG filter #16 is offered with an optical density of 6. The previous filter, which offers 15% visible transmission, continues to be available for applications that require limited transmission.

A still from a video (link below) shows polymer microdisks being transferred to glass via laser catapulting. Laser catapulting can also be used to fabricate an array of microlenses directly on top of a photodetector array (inset), useful for directing more light onto the most sensitive parts of the detector.

For a microcrystalline SiC thin-film thermal emitter in a cavity-coupled setup (a), a platinum heater ring (b) heats the suspended thermal emitter structure while minimizing conductive losses into the surrounding substrate. The suspended region stays hot while the temperature shifts to blue (cold) in the nonsuspended region of the substrate (c). (Image credit: Columbia University)
