Advanced Measurement and Laser Technologies at OPD2026
At OPD2026, Kimmy Photonics will present a broad range of photonics and non‑contact measurement technologies addressing the needs of mechanical and civil engineering, biology, medicine, and industrial research. For vibration analysis and structural testing, Polytec GmbH laser vibrometers enable precise, non‑contact measurements under challenging conditions, including hot surfaces, rotating components, and complex or highly sensitive structures—even into the ultrasonic frequency range.
In fibre‑optic spectroscopy, Avantes B.V. solutions provide flexible, high‑performance instruments serving both scientific research and industrial applications. For imaging and spectroscopy, Greateyes GmbH offers high‑performance scientific cameras covering spectral ranges from X‑ray and EUV to visible and NIR, combining excellent sensitivity with high dynamic range.
Laser technologies at the Kimmy Photonics booth include pulsed and continuous‑wave sources from Litron Lasers Ltd, supporting applications such as spectroscopy, LIBS, LIDAR, PIV, semiconductor processing, photoacoustic imaging, and laser pumping. Photonics Industries International contributes nanosecond to femtosecond lasers based on intracavity harmonic technology for industrial microprocessing and scientific research, while Skylark lasers provide ultra‑stable, narrow‑linewidth single‑frequency CW DPSS lasers from UV to NIR for demanding applications such as Raman spectroscopy, Brillouin microscopy, and semiconductor inspection.
Complementing these systems, Physik Instrumente (PI) motion control and positioning solutions support precise alignment of samples, optics, and instruments across applications ranging from microscopy and photonics to quantum research and astronomy—even in vacuum and radiation environments.
Together, these technologies support customer needs in quality control, material identification, medical diagnostics, vibration analysis, surface characterization, non‑destructive testing, flow measurements, high‑precision positioning, and process control.
