Pneumatic Vibration Isolators Launched By Newport Newport has announced the release of the S-2000 Stabilizer series of pneumatic vibration isolators. The offering incorporates Newport's self-centring pendulum design, laminar flow damping system, and precision auto-levelling valves. In addition, the S-2000 design incorporates enhanced levelling indicators, recessed lifting channels and a lower magnetic permeability design. Newport said the S-2000, with a 2000lb load capacity per isolator, is an ideal solution for isolating optical tables, large inspection equipment, heavy machinery, and large area sub-floors. Newport is also making available a standard offering of fully non-magnetic models as well as clean-room compatible versions in the near future. The initial offering of the S-2000 will be available in six heights ranging from 16-28in all equipped with precision re-levelling valves. The S-2000 Stabilizer performance delivers a 1Hz vertical resonant frequency and a vertical ...

Lambda Unveils Fibre-To-Fibre Optical Isolators Lambda Photometrics has announced a line of fibre-to-fibre optical isolators from Optics for Research (OFR). They are designed for use in super-luminescent light-emitting diode (SLED or SLD) applications. These isolators provide high isolation and low insertion loss over broad bandwidths and are available for common SLED wavelength ranges in the 750nm to 900nm region. These isolators use OFR's proven IO-F series optical engine, and two platforms are available for single- or dual-chip SLED requirements. For single-chip SLED applications, the IO-F-SL1 fibre isolator provides high performance over a spectral bandwidth of 70nm. For dual-chip SLED systems, the IO-F-BB-SL2 provides coverage over a 100nm bandwidth. Isolation at the centre wavelength typically exceeds 35dB, and is maintained to at least 20dB at the bandwidth FWHM points for both models. Optical power handling capability is 3W in the forward and reverse directions, and t...
