“OSA is pleased to host a forum where industry leaders like Agilent showcase new products for their customers and the optics community,” said OSA CEO Elizabeth Rogan. “OIC brings together researchers, engineers and the corporate community to highlight innovation from the research level to the applications level. Agilent’s new spectrophotometer demonstrates how industry serves the needs of the entire community in order to advance the field of materials science.”
The Cary 7000 UMS is intended for use by labs and companies that produce multilayer optical coatings for different applications. Among others benefits, Agilent highlights advantages such as measurements without moving the sample, automated operation saving time and money, and superior optical performance at 10 Absorbance unit capabilities to measure challenging samples.
"The Cary name is synonymous with high-performance and has become the standard for researchers wanting to extend the boundaries of spectrophotometric measurement," said Philip Binns, Agilent vice president and general manager for spectroscopy products. "The Cary 7000 UMS continues this tradition by offering the greatest flexibility, performance and productivity ever seen in a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer.”
OSA’s OIC meeting serves as a focal point for global technical interchange in the field of optical interference coatings. Presentations this week include the latest results in research, development and the application of optical coatings from experts at leading institutions and companies such as Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH, Fraunhofer IOF, JDSU and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. General areas being presented include technologies used in deposition and process control, advances in materials—as well as the properties of the various materials used as substrates and as coatings, the latest techniques used for the characterization of optical coatings, advances in computer and analytical design technique, and the application of optical coatings for solar energy, lighting, display, nano-structures, biological, decorative, laser, lithography, and astronomical applications.
