New Chip-Sized Device Could Help Manufacturers Measure Laser Power in Real Time
Lasers play roles in many manufacturing processes, from welding car parts to crafting engine components with 3D printers. To control these tasks, manufacturers must ensure that their lasers fire at the correct power. But to date, there has been no way to precisely measure laser power during the manufacturing process in real time, while lasers are cutting […]
Test and Measurement Solutions for Power Electronics
High voltage differential broadband probes allow analysis of switching behavior in fast switching semiconductors. High-sensitivity oscilloscopes with fast FFT functionality combined with near-field probes help developers minimize unwanted EMC emissions in switched-mode power supplies. All-in-one power analyzers enable characterization of energy consumption from µW to kW. Rohde & Schwarz is presenting this portfolio for today’s development requirements […]
Potholes: Engineers Create Self-Healing Asphalt
Potholes are a perennial problem. They are dangerous to road users, and the damage they cause to vehicles can be hugely expensive. The cost of repairing them is also vast. But still they appear, and reappear, in countless places. So why do these pesky crevices pose such a difficult challenge? And is there any light at […]
Large Area Image Sensor Test and Characterization Platform

The product incorporates 35 LED wavelengths for synthesis of commercially available light sources such as CIE Illuminants A, B, C, D50, D55, D65, D75, E, F1-F12 or based on spectral profiles that you import. Ideal for applications requiring flat-field calibration, the product range is ideal […]
‘Dragon Eggs’ Hatched to Monitor Volcanic Activity
The University of Bristol is pioneering the monitoring of volcanic activity by developing a cutting-edge measurement system that can withstand the harsh conditions around the heart of an active volcano. Such extreme, hazardous and unpredictable environments present a very difficult challenge to reliably record volcanic behaviour for analytical models. For some volcanoes it is simply […]
Multi-Function I/O Mezzanine Modules Solve a Variety of SWaP Challenges
