NanoOpto Introduces Two New Products

NanoOpto Corp. (Somerset, NJ) has introduced the SubWave AQWP650+, an achromatic quarter waveplate for DVD/CD read/write combination drives with applications for entertainment, mobile systems, and computing. The device uses a proprietary nano-structure-based design to provide true zero order performance across a broad wavelength range. It provides 90° (i.e., quarter wave) ± 4° of phase retardance uniformly across a 630 to 805-nm wavelength range, encompassing the 650-nm and 785-nm wavelengths used for DVD/CD read/write operations.

The SubWave AQWP650+ can either be used in manufacturing as a drop-in replacement for existing quarter waveplates, or in design as the basis for more compact optical pick-up unit architectures.

The SubWave Infrared Cut-off Filter (IRCF) allows for improved picture quality in digital camera module designs. Designed for high-volume digital imaging applications, the filter increases the crispness and color saturation of digital images. Target applications for the SubWave IRCF include digital camera modules for cell phones, general consumer electronics digital imaging applications, and security cameras.
