Product Details Supplier Info More products

PolarView ND 2AP Technologies has announced the international release of LC-Tec Display’s liquid crystal based variable Neutral Density filter technology.

LCT’s PolarView-ND(212)-AR replaces multiple filters with a single device which can be switched between F2 and F12 and is designed for flat spectral response and low angular dependence. As a result PolarView-ND(212) offers uniquely uniform angular transmittance properties together with small colour shift and is ideal for professional still and movie cameras as well as many commercial and industrial applications.

The optical density of the PolarView-ND filter is controlled electronically without any moving parts. The device is completely analog and fast switching from one setting to another enables instant adjustment in response to changing light conditions.

The standard filter is a 2in x 2in size but the technology can be offered in all of LCT’s standard sizes from 7x8mm (5x5mm switching area)  upwards and in custom sizes up to 14in x 16in.

For more information on the PolarView-ND(212)-AR as well as LCT’s  Fast Optical Shutter, Fast Polarisation Modulator and Variable Polarisation Rotator technology please visit the Liquid Crystal Optical Components pages.

Our LED range spans the spectrum from UVC to the near infrared (NIR). We offer a wide range of LED components as well as engaging with customers to develop bespoke LED-based solutions incorporating LEDs, thermal management, drive/control electronics as well as monitoring and alarms.

We also supply single- and multi-mode laser diodes and modules from 450nm to 1,850nm as well as steady-state and pulsable thermal IR sources with blackbody output from 1 to 10µm.

For detection, we have visible and NIR-enhanced silicon photodiodes and a range of UV-optimised silicon photodiodes with responsivity down to 0.14nm — suitable for UV/visible spectrometry, extreme UV laser monitoring and direct ion/electron/X-ray photon detection.

Our range of silicon photomultipliers comprises true solid-state alternatives to conventional vacuum tube PMTs, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), Geiger-mode APDs and even silicon photodiodes in many low-light & high-speed applications such as scintillator-based radiation detection/imaging, fast fluorescence and LiDAR.

We also offer readout electronics for SiPM arrays using in medical imaging and radiation monitoring applications.

For longer wavelengths we offer a range of Lead Salt detectors with Lead Sulphide (PbS) covering 1-3.1µm and Lead Selenide (PbSe) from 1-5.5µm.

Our range of liquid-crystal based optical components includes Fast Optical Shutters, Fast Polarisation Modulators, Variable Polarisation Rotators and variable Neutral-Density Filters.

Finally we are pleased to introduce compact Czerny-Turner spectrometers and ultra-compact MEMS-based microspectrometers from OtO Photonics. OtO’s “SmartEngine” series of C-T spectrometers are the world’s highest selling spectrometers for OEM applications whilst their proprietary MEMS-based “Advanced UltraMicro” series are the smallest spectrometers at just 6cm³.
