Diffraction gratings are essential components in dispersing light into its constituent wavelengths. In FT-IR spectroscopy, they allow for the separation of complex infrared signals into detailed spectra. Our diffraction gratings are engineered to provide high efficiency and resolution, ensuring that even the most subtle spectral features are discernible. This precision enables researchers to uncover intricate details about their samples.

Adaptive optics is a powerful new technique used to sharpen telescope images blurred by the Earth's atmosphere. This authoritative book is the first dedicated to the use of adaptive optics in astronomy. Mainly developed for defence applications, the technique of adaptive optics has only recently been introduced in astronomy. Already it has allowed ground-based telescopes to produce images with sharpness rivalling those from the Hubble Space Telescope. The technique is expected to revolutionise the future of ground-based optical astronomy. Written by an international team of experts who have pioneered the development of the field, this timely volume provides both a rigorous introduction to the technique and a comprehensive review of current and future systems. It is set to become the standard reference for graduate students, researchers and optical engineers in astronomy and other areas of science where adaptive optics is finding exciting new applications.

Polkadot beamsplitters are used Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, where they function by dividing the incident infrared light into two paths—one directed towards the sample and the other towards a reference. This division allows for simultaneous measurement of the sample and reference signals, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the spectral data collection. The polkadot pattern, with its precise distribution of reflective and transmissive regions, ensures consistent and uniform splitting of the infrared light. This uniformity is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the interferometric measurements, leading to highly accurate and reliable FT-IR spectroscopic analysis.

Our commitment to finding the right solutions for difficult problems means that we are capable of doing what other engineers cannot. Some say we bend physics and solve the unsolvable. Can we? Maybe. What we know we can do is this: We ask questions and we dig, because sometimes the solutions people believe they need only scratch the surface

The primary function of a beamsplitter is to separate a single beam of light into two parts, one reflected and one transmitted. The incident light is split at the surface which is usually set at some angle so the reflected and transmitted beams are separated. Any metal layer that forms a partially reflective mirror can serve as a beamsplitter, and many under the “plate” category are no more sophisticated than that.
