Viavi presents ‘advanced’ optical filters at Photonics West 2019
that the technology has to offer,” commented Sinclair Vass, VP Sales & Marketing at Viavi’s Optical Security & Performance Division. Vass added, “We have decades of experience in each of these domains and are especially excited about the substantial opportunity for optical filters and engineered diffusers that is ahead of us. As these markets mature, Photonics West is becoming a key opportunity for VIAVI to have meaningful discussions with our most important customers as well as with leaders from across the photonics industry.”
Viavi Solutions presented a range of advanced optical filters for sensing systems at Photonics West 2019, in San Francisco, last week. In parallel with emerging technologies, the company says it is “continuing to develop and deploy next- generation optical filters for advanced applications spanning across several industry verticals.” The company also commented that research shows that the global optical sensor market is set to experience rapid growth and is expected to reach US$26.88 billion by the end of 2023. There is pressure to produce and that is creating new challenges in the competitive landscape of optical filter manufacturing including cost constraints, precision and scalability. The company stated, “We continue to adapt to the changing market demands and, to date, Viavi has
These diffusers are advanced beam shapers capable of homogenising an input beam while shaping the output intensity profile and the way light is distributed. “Demand for photonics is rapidly changing as innovative new applications such as 3D sensing, IoT sensing, augmented/virtual reality and automotive LiDAR
produced and shipped in total more than one billion filters for a diverse range of applications.” LiDAR windows are durable, temperature NIR-AR prototype windows that enable seamless integration of LiDAR systems into the body of a vehicle. The windows utilise VIAVI LAS (low-angle shift) filtering technology, also known as “narrow band” functionality. The window will be on display and available for live demos. The MicroNIR OnSite-W is the smallest fully-integrated NIR spectrometer on the market and operates using Viavi’s Linear Variable Filter technology. This meter provides users with rapid, real-time, non-destructive near infrared material analysis. The third new product is the RPC Photonics Engineered Diffuser, a new addition to the optical filtering range.
