Digital Testing

Digital testing serves to analyze electrical and optical signals at the physical level of modern data and telecommunications systems. In addition, digital testing can be used to establish the characteristics of the selected transmission route. Measurements of optical systems and routes can be realized by using corresponding converters.

Bit error and timing-interval analyzers serve to analyze the transmission behavior of data and telecommunications systems at bit level. Bit errors can be determined quantitatively and may be evaluated with regard to quality aspects. Even the origin of an error can be localized. Eye-diagram measurements help to quickly assess measurement results.

New standards in data and telecommunications require receiver measurements with incoming signals to which jitter and noise are deliberately added. Optionally, our 7.5 and 12.5Gb/s bit error and jitter analyzers generate the jitter necessary to characterize receivers in accordance with different stressed receiver sensitivity requirements.

For video testing, we offer measurement systems to characterize bit errors. These measurement solutions are designed for error identification and localization and for conducting serial data stream analyses in SDI and HD-SDI format for video broadcasting.

Our cable testers are part of the LAN testers product line and serve to characterize state-of-the-art twisted pair data lines with regard to the transmission bandwidth, correct cabling, and verification of cable-class conformity. The portfolio also comprises adapters for FC line measurements.

Optics and Optomechanics

The terms optics and optomechanics cover a vast array of techniques relating to the manipulation of light, in particular of lasers. Our “Lasers and Accessories“ business unit offers a comprehensive range of standard products for optics and optomechanics.

In addition to optical systems and conventional mounting and adjusting mechanisms, our portfolio in this area includes acousto- and electro-optics, fiber optics, and motorized components. We also offer tailored solutions, especially motorized components, components for use in vacuum environments and/or non-magnetic components. They ideally supplement the areas of laser sources for light generation and optical instrumentation for light detection.

The future market of biotechnology

Looking at the future market of biotechnology, filters deserve special attention. We offer innovative and highly robust fluorescence filters with hitherto unmatched values of transmission and reflexion. Efficiency is dramatically increased by using OD6 blocking factors while at the same time transmission is at more than 90% of the desired fluorescence. The filter section also provides news for Raman applications. Edge filters with excellent slope enable measurements almost up to the excitation wave length.

Motorization and miniaturization

Precision motorization and its miniaturization play an increasingly important role in many areas of the optical industry. Pico-motors and piezoelectric drives have paved the way for major innovation. You will find these under “Motorized components“ along with a comprehensive range of displacement, rotation and transparent tables.

Laserschutz

Laser haben inzwischen in vielen Bereichen von Industrie und Forschung Einzug gehalten. Dementsprechend essentiell ist der Laserschutz für einen sicheren Umgang mit diesen intensiven Strahlquellen unterschiedlichster Wellenlänge, Leistung, Größe und Strahlungsmodus.

Laser micromachining

Laser material machining has a history of more than 30 years. In the beginning, simple material processing tasks such as marking or material separation were performed using CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers.

Customer-specific applications

In the course of the development and refinement of laser machining, new fields of application were opened up. The trend revealed ever more precise and high-resolution applications. In order to better correspond to our customers’ requirements, our technology portfolio is further divided into three areas: high-end laser systems, high-end lasers and applications.

Our core competency is micro material-machining—applications comprising µm and sub-µm structurings with solid-state and short-pulse lasers.

We look back on many years of experience in laser micro-machining as both a developer and manufacturer of complex systems. When realizing the tasks at hand, we incorporate the extensive know-how we have gained in R&D projects and through industrial experience.

Our system portfolio comprises micro-marking, micro-structuring and micro-sintering with lasers as well as complex DUV workstations.

The Laser 2000 / 3D-Micromac systems are used in many European countries and, among others, in the optical industry, in mechanical engineering, in the semi-conductor and automotive industries as well as in many universities and research facilities.
