I have always noticed that there is lack of information within the country in the area of fiber optics/photonics to help facilitate each one of us in our personal growth or for business development.

We are developing an infrared optical instrument to remotely sense leaks from natural gas pipelines. The technology is sound and our prototype works. Detailed design of the optics will be completed by the end of November. Shortly after that, I will be sending an RFP/SOW to optical manufacturers for the optical tube assembly. I have a number of manufacturers that I will be contacting, but I am ...

Hello:

I am interest in built a organic Q-switch.

Do somebody knew the speed of answer at change of energy of electrical current of the common Q-switch ?

On the other case, the reference where I can look up this numbers.

Because, maybe organic materials are too slow to be a device as Q-switch to scientific intentions.

Hi, All:

I have a question: I setup a Raman spectroscopic system. 785nm laser, two 800nmLP filters, 300mm monochromator. My sample (chemicals) is immoblized on glass slides. I always see a huge peak at around 809nm (300 1/cm) and it tails until 820nm also. Is it a fluorescence peak? if not, where is it from?
