  • Scientific NIR-II / SWIR Cameras Enable Femtosecond Frequency Comb Vernier Spectroscopy

    A frequency comb is a spectrum that comprises a series of discrete, equally spaced elements. The most popular mechanism used to generate a frequency comb is stabilization of the pulse train by a mode-locked laser.

  • NIR Spectroscopy Aids in the Diagnosis of Neonatal Brain Injury

    Over the past several years, biomedical researchers and engineers working in labs, hospitals, and universities around the world have developed an extensive set of spectroscopy-based methods — including a new class of non-invasive in vivo techniques utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

  • Thermal Management: How NIRvana Cameras Keep Their Cool

    With infrared imaging in the SWIR (Short Wave InfraRed) band from 900nm to 1700nm wavelength, there are unique imaging capabilities. From cutting-edge in vivo investigations to nanotechnology, demanding scientific applications are hugely diverse and growing. However, there are also unique challenges to overcome.

  • High-resolution spectroscopy for measuring fine structures and spin interactions in quantum materials

    Jörg Debus and his team at TU Dortmund University in Germany conduct research on materials with high potential for applications in optical quantum information processing, spintronics as well as quantum sensing. The group studies structures, such as quantum dots, as well as 2D materials, semiconducting defects in diamond and rare-earth ions quantum wells.

  • Cold Shielding in Scientific SWIR

    Imaging in the infrared brings unique challenges. The NIRvana range of InGaAs cameras from Princeton Instruments operates in the Short-Wave InfraRed (SWIR) or second Near Infrared (NIR-II) region from 900 nm to 1700 nm. Sensitivity to wavelengths in this range unlocks a whole host of applications within scientific research.

  • A Brief Overview of Raman Spectroscopy in Life Sciences

    Raman spectroscopy has become a widely used tool in biomedical engineering and life science for its diagnostic potential. It is used in medical research, studying the biochemical environment of single cells or monitoring the reaction of cells to drugs, pharmaceutical industry for process and quality control in the manufacturing of drugs.

  • Tip-Enhanced Raman Scattering (TERS)

    The ability to identify small quantities of adsorbed analyte or structural features down to the few-molecule level is a key challenge in nanotechnology. Optical spectroscopy provides an attractive means to achieve such identification via non-invasive implementations and the potential for chemical sensitivity.

  • Teledyne FLIR Warranty Information

    This article discusses the hardware warranty that applies to Teledyne FLIR active products.

  • Line Scan Primer

    Perhaps the most common example of line scan imaging is the fax machine. Line scan imaging uses a single line of sensor pixels (effectively one-dimensional) to build up a two-dimensional image. The second dimension results from the motion of the object being imaged. Two-dimensional images are acquired line by line by successive single-line scans while the object moves (perpendicularly) past the line of pixels in the image sensor.

  • Cost-Effective Confocal Microscopy - Flea3 USB 3.1 CMOS Rolling Shutter

    A confocal microscope platform makes use of a CMOS rolling shutter and a digital micromirror to enable simple and modular optical designs for brightfield, darkfield, ophthalmic, fluorescence, polarization-sensitive, and interferometric imaging.
