How Non-contact Measurement is Supporting Growth in Consumer Electronics

Zygo and Karen Nyberg partners in Space. Inside the International Space Station (ISS) was a controlled symphony of switches, screens, and buttons, each contributing to the harmonious dance of human ingenuity and scientific progress. Amidst this orchestrated complexity, an astronaut floated weightlessly, her eyes fixed on the universe beyond a window in the ISS’s cupola...

Learn how Zygo has partnered with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to help create clean energy. Zygo worked closely with LLNL to develop optical manufacturing processes that support high-volume production of meter-class, laser-grade optics for the NIF laser. Such optics include amplifier slabs, turning mirrors, vacuum windows, continuous phase plates, gratings,...

Power Spectral Density (PSD) is a very useful concept when it comes to specifying many types of optics and has been proven to be a valuable metric in extreme application spaces such as laser fusion. This specification method can also be applied to demanding applications, high energy laser optics, particularly because it helps in understanding and managing the quality of ...
