We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical Components",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Optical spectrum analyser has high resolution from
Yokogawa Europe - Test and Measurement, which we summarised at the time by saying "Optical spectrum analyser combines a wide wavelength range of 1200 to 2400nm with high resolution between 50pm and 2nm and high sensitivity of -70 dBm or
better".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Manufacturing, testing, evaluation site goes live from
Precision Solutions: "A leading defence systems company is offering a wide range of specialist design, manufacturing, testing and evaluation facilities, which are featured on its Web site".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Nikon UK
concerning its INEXIV VMA-2520 3D video measuring system
- take a look at 3D video uprates laser machining service
which says: "An innovative micro and nano-engineering centre has become the first UK site to order a precision 3D video measuring system to improve a laser micromachining service".
Take a look also at the news release from Lambda Advanced Technology, Performance spectrometer at entry level price,
as well as VCSEL-based reflective sensors have advantages from Finisar Corp,
and Global ERP deployment at Gooch and Housego from K3 Business Technology Group.
