Photonics Automation Specialties Releases New High-Power (~500W) Diverging Beam Profiler<\/p>\n\t

Posted on June 6, 2023<\/p>\n

TUCSON, Ariz<\/strong>. – Photonics Automation Specialties, LLC. (PAS,\u00a0www.photonicsautomation.com<\/a><\/u>), announced that it has completed it’s design of it’s NFScan<\/strong><\/em><\/a> high-power diverging beam profiler.<\/p>\n

The NFScan<\/strong><\/em><\/a> device allows for real-time beam profiling for small sources (<1mm) with divergence angles up to 30 degrees full-angle at full power.\u00a0 It is capable of being used in a standalone mode, or with it’s software API as a part of a customer piece of software.<\/p>\n

NFScan<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is more capable than a standard Goniometric Radiometer and will, in many applications, be a drop-in replacement for that device.\u00a0 It is capable of higher input levels, and is not a scan-based device, so pulsed measurements are possible.\u00a0 There are many other advantages as well.<\/p>\n

Photonics Automation Specialties Receives Small Business Innovation Research Phase I Award from NASA<\/p>\n\t

Posted on June 22, 2020<\/p>\n

TUCSON, Ariz<\/strong>. – Photonics Automation Specialties, LLC. (PAS,\u00a0www.photonicsautomation.com<\/a><\/u>), announced that it has been awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract from NASA. The 6-month Phase I contract will fund the development of core sensor technologies to create sustainable measurement capabilities to support NASA’s Earth Science Program.<\/p>\n

The instrument itself will measure the hyperspectral volume scattering function (VSF) of water.\u00a0 It will use a multichannel spectrometer to take thousands of data samples over the ultraviolet-visible range at various angles from a volume of water.\u00a0 Scientists and engineers will be able to quickly analyze the result and discern the optical characteristics and particulate\/impurity levels in the water.\u00a0 This will be an order of magnitude improvement over the current state of the art both in wavelength collection range and in speed of data acquisition.<\/p>\n

Applications include ocean\/lake particulate monitoring, water quality testing, and other water sampling applications.\u00a0 One of the most exciting applications is with the instrument integrated into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).\u00a0 With no moving parts to wear out, the instrument will be ideal for remote deployments in inhospitable locations.<\/p>\n

“We are excited to help NASA drive this innovation. This instrument will provide an extra spectral dimension of data for scientists to see and analyze.\u00a0For PAS, it will enhance our understanding of how to integrate hyperspectral analysis into our product lines and will open new markets for us. This will further enhance the support we deliver to the scientific community”\u00a0said Jerry Knight-Rubino, founder of PAS.\u00a0 “With our combination of photonics innovation, flexibility, and multi-disciplinary expertise, we are both honored and excited to provide this full solution to NASA and show what we’re capable of.”<\/p>\n
