Website Expansion Absorbs New Product Ranges The Elliot Scientific website has significantly grown in recent months and now features a new user-friendly interface with faster search facility. Several new suppliers have joined us and some existing ranges have grown with the addition of new or upgraded product from manufacturers. This newsletter is to give you a taste of what’s happened in the last quarter.

Andeen-Hagerling is, without doubt, the world’s leading supplier of Capacitance and Capacitance/Loss Bridge measurement equipment. It has been added to our Cryogenics & Magnetics and Detection & Instrumentation groups. Their flagship product, the AH 2700A, is a unit that offers unparalleled stability, resolution, linearity and accuracy in a multi-frequency capacitance/loss bridge. Its numerous state-of-the-art features make it an exceptionally user-friendly instrument and its precision in a wide range of fields is creating new applications for it in calibration, science and production.

CODIXX is dedicated to the development and production of colorPol® dichroic glass polarizers. Based on a unique technology for the production and treatment of nanoparticles in glass, Codixx manufactures high-quality polarizers for the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectral ranges. The extraordinary flexibility of the colorPol® technology allows for the production of custom polarizers meeting demands for all spectral ranges, contrast conditions and designs.

Elliot Scientific

now offers the amazing optical tweezer system, developed in conjunction with St. Andrew’s University, as a retrofit option for high quality microscopes. Available with single or multiple spot trapping, this affordable equipment upgrade is suitable for working with particles of micron size and can be used for cell manipulation and a variety of other optical trapping experiments. Video clips of it in action are downloadable from our website. They are not to be missed.

JDSU

has always been a feature of our Fibre, Diode & Telecom pages, but now their section has grown with the addition of Photonic Power products to the existing Communications Components and Communications Modules & Subsystem groups. These, in turn, have benefited from the expanded indepth product listings and descriptions for the extensive range of compo-

Eblana Photonics designs and manufactures laser diodes for communications and other applications. Eblana's new 1550 nm narrow linewidth Butterfly laser diode module offers high quality (< 350 kHz linewidth) and consistent performance. It is now available through Elliot Scientific and is used in high bandwidth coherent communications applications where, for example, high spectral efficiency, phase encoded signals are required to overcome transmission bottlenecks. The devices can also be found in sensor, medical and imaging applications.

Electron Dynamics are specialists in control and instrumentation. We are pleased to offer their range of HPE series heat pumps that provide a fully integrated thermo-electric temperature control system in a convenient package. The HPE comprises fan, heatsink, thermo-electric cooler and thermal block constructed as a complete heat pump assembly. By using the Peltier effect it can both heat and cool, so an HPE unit can effect precise servo-controlled thermal stabilization when used in conjunction with an ETCS temperature controller. Alternatively, it can be simply used in an unregulated mode from a 15 volt DC power supply.

CRAIC, the leading developer of superior UV-visible-NIR microanalysis instruments for science and industry, have launched new and upgraded versions of their UV and NIR microscopes, UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometers and other instruments to measure thin film thickness and colorimetry on the microscopic scale. Spectra and images of samples less than a micron across can be acquired and specialised systems have been developed for a number of fields including vitrinite coal analysis and semiconductor metrology.

OPTOSCI

have extensive experience in the design and production of photonic instruments. We are now offering their LDR range of laser driver modules that provide a versatile and user friendly platform for stable current and thermo-electric control (TEC) of laser diodes, SOAs, SLDs, 980 nm pump lasers and so on. The fully integrated digital Eurocard modules are designed for device characterisation, prototype development and experimental systems and offer easy device integration, full PC control and monitoring, or set & forget operation utilising the on-board EPROM. The LDRS OEM module is a stable, low noise 250 mA or 1.0 A current driver and TEC supplied in a credit card size, three board stack that uses the same LDR core hardware and offers similar high specifications as the Eurocard modules. The LDRS is designed so that it can be readily integrated with active devices and a custom enclosure to enable provision of value-added products.

And finally...

we hope to see you at Photonex 2008, which takes place on October 15th & 16th at the NAC Stoneleigh Exhibition Halls near Coventry. We are on Stand B20. More information about the show can be found at www.photonex.org. Please contact us if you would like tickets. sales@elliotscientific.com
