We've been impressed by the new Oculus USB Photodetectors from our friends at Ames Photonics. Now, Ames have announced the Oculus Challenge: two Oculus systems will be given away free to customers who come up with the most creative and innovative applications for this smart new device. From the Ames website: "Oculus is the latin word for "eye", and in classical times, referred to the round opening at the top of the roof of the Pantheon and other buildings. Oculus is also the name for Ames Photonics innovative new USB detector system, released commercially in 2009. This convenient, plug-n-play laboratory essential is proving to be a very popular tool in a wide range of applications. For example, at Swinburne University, in Melbourne, Australia, researchers have used the Oculus in conjunction with other Ames Photonics tools to detect and measure output from a multibeam ultrafast laser spectroscopy experiment. Oculus provides the means to enable correlated single-pulse measurements, providing an efficient, cost-effective solution to this problem. Read their report here.
This creative application of the technology behind the Oculus has given us an idea: We are inviting our customers to send us, via email, their idea for an application which best exploits the unique capabilities of the Oculus USB photodetector. We have two Oculus systems to be given away, free of charge, which will go to the two submissions which our judges deem to be the most interesting."

Lasers are everywhere these days, but there's one place a laser beam should never go, and that is into the eye. That's why Lastek has built a portfolio of laser safety eyewear principals from around the world to ensure that we can offer our customers the most complete range of protection available. These companies include Kentek, Lasermet, NoIR, Offenhauser + Berger, Sperian/Glendale, Thorlabs, LaserVision, CVI Melles Griot and Yamamoto. Our aim is to be able to provide appropriate protection for every type of commercial laser technology, in as broad a range of styles as possible. From cost-effective basic goggles, to prescription spectacles, to futuristic eyewear that would not look out of place at a nightclub, we have the right eye protection to ensure your eyeballs are safe. We love to talk laser safety, so for expert assistance in selecting the right laser eye protection for your laboratory or facility, please don't hesitate to call or contact us today. |

Laser safety barriers are an essential laser safety component for use in many high-power laser labs where scattered light must be blocked to avoid the potential for irreparable eye damage. Thorlab's new SB5X6 Fixed Panel Laser Safety Barrier is a is designed for use in labs with high-power CW or pulsed lasers. To block both CW and pulsed lasers, two materials are used in conjunction. The outside material is certified* for up to 9 J/cm2 average irradiance for pulsed lasers (100 s exposure), while the inside material is certified* for up to 120 W/cm2 CW (100 s exposure). |
