Event Overview:

This webinar will guide you on the best practices, tools, and techniques needed to get the most reliable, verifiable insights into your optical components. Appropriate choice of technique and methodology is critical to getting the information you need to improve design, verify product performance, and accelerate manufacturing.

We will explore the subtleties of reflection and transmission measurements at normal incidence and at oblique angles, emphasizing high absorbance, optical density, linearity, and effects of incident beam collimation. We will discuss diffuse scattering measurements and automation/robotics to broaden quality assurance programs and speed up analysis.

The webinar is relevant to developers of optics, photonics, and electro-optical or semiconductor devices. Improve your understanding of the link between your desired outcomes and the spectrophotometric approaches needed to achieve those insights.
