I'm a third year undergraduate student studying Photonics Engineering. We currently have a project to design an optical system that will measure the thickness of paper. Can anyone offer some suggestions or ideas?

| Need large beam splitting (half-silvered) mirror. Source? | 02 Oct 2004 11:12 GMT | 3 |
Im looking to make a teleprompter for video use. Therefore, I need a half-silvered (or 60-40 pass) beam splitting mirror. However, it must be large, on the scale of 12" square, or somewhere around that size. Does anyone know where I could find one, and about how much it would

| projectors / low voltage lamps | 01 Oct 2004 20:42 GMT | 1 |
Dear colleagues, a short question about slide projectors: why do I always find low voltage bulbs (24VDC) inside slide projectors? Why not use a 120V bulb and save the transformer?

| Groan: Lasers blamed for pilot's vision problems... | 01 Oct 2004 13:54 GMT | 7 |
Have you seen this? http://slashdot.org/articles/04/09/29/1420215.shtml?tid=172&tid=99&tid=1 Sounds pretty iffy. Some ex-Navy pilot is claiming that his vision was damaged by a laser while he was on a recon mission. Of course,

| etching on glass and crystal | 01 Oct 2004 12:00 GMT | 2 |
Does anybody have any suggestions on surface etching on glass and crystal using a co2 laser? All of my attempts so far have produced a lot of chipping. I've tried using lowest power possible, burning through masking to dissipate heat and freezing before etching.

| Lexel 85 questions | 01 Oct 2004 06:56 GMT | 2 |
I bought a pair of surplus Lexel 85 laser systems (head & power supply) today but don't really have a clue about them. I do know that these units are not working but don't know why. The tubes are in tact and everything is in good physical condition. I am familiar with the ...

| Undersampled vs. oversampled thermal imagers | 01 Oct 2004 05:53 GMT | 8 |
I'm wondering how to compare the spatial resolution of the old scanning cameras--after A/D sampling--to the newer focal plane arrays. Would a horizontal line sampled and stored as 320 digital pixels be equivalent to a 320 x (whatever) array?
