Meadowlark Optics Has Pivotal Role in Fusion Research
The Beginning Back in 1952, the first useful demonstration of nuclear fusion was carried out. It was for vastly different reasons than those celebrated most recently, although one might say that was when interest in atomic science for practical applications really blew up (pun intended.) Physicists have been seeking fusion as a viable energy source ever since, with […]
Holographic Optical Tweezing (Hot) Application Note
Summary Holographic optical tweezing leverages tightly focused laser beams to precisely manipulate objects in three-dimensional space, making it a powerful tool for fundamental physics, biological research, and cold atom trapping. By utilizing a spatial light modulator (SLM) to modulate the phase of an incident laser beam, this technique generates a 3D volume of focal points […]
General Microscopy Application Note
Summary Advancements in microscopy imaging are addressing key challenges such as spherical aberration correction in 3D imaging, motion artifact reduction, and the development of new imaging modalities. Spatial light modulators (SLMs) play a crucial role in enhancing traditional microscopy by dynamically controlling wavefronts to optimize image quality. By integrating SLMs, researchers can correct optical distortions, […]
Meadowlark Optics announces new 1920 x 1200 E-Series Spatial Light Modulator
Meadowlark Optics, Inc. (Meadowlark) today announced the launch of their new E-Series Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) which has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and is entry-level, educational and economical. Don’t let the name fool you; with improved specifications over our previous model, it is anything but entry-level. It is, however, economical and ideally suited […]
