  • How to solve the problem of high light decay in cold-joint components

    How to solve the problem of high light decay in cold-joint components

    Are you struggling with unreliable connections on your PCB due to cold solder joints? Hot air rework is a powerful technique to fix these issues and restore your board's functionality. A cold solder joint forms when the solder does not properly bond the component lead to the pad—typically due to inadequate heat, oxidation, or poor technique. While these joints may look acceptable at first glance, they can become problematic over time, especially when exposed to vibration, thermal. This guide explains what a cold solder joint is, what it looks like, why it happens, and how to reliably identify, fix, and prevent it.

  • Cable trays are allowed to proceed under green light

    Cable trays are allowed to proceed under green light

    Answer: No; walking on cable trays is not to be permitted. It violates the new version of NEMA standard VE-2, manufacturers marking and recommendations, and the intent of the NFPA70 Electrical Safety in Employee Work Practices. Prohibited Areas: Cable trays cannot be used in hoistways or enclosed spaces and must remain accessible. The significance of this difference is that it varies the type of wires that can be employed.


  • Optical power meter emits its own light

    Optical power meter emits its own light

    Power meters are calibrated using a traceable calibration standard. A traditional optical power meter responds to a broad spectrum of light, however, the calibration is wavelength dependent. This is not normally an issue, since the test wavelength is usually known, but has some drawbacks.OverviewAn optical power meter (OPM) is a device used to measure the power in an signal. The term usually refers to a device for testing average power in systems. Other general purpose light power measuring. The major types are (Si), (Ge) and (InGaAs). Additionally, these may be used with attenuating elements for high optical power testing, or wavelengt. A typical OPM is linear from about 0 dBm (1 milli Watt) to about -50 dBm (10 nano Watt), although the display range may be larger. Above 0 dBm is considered "high power", and specially adapted units may measure u.

  • How to handle excessive beam splitter light

    How to handle excessive beam splitter light

    The simplest solution for a camera or microscope as well visually observing the image, for example a retinoscope, is to employ cross polarisation. Painting matte black or using soot surfaces or even felt fabric seldom achieve adequate cancellation. Beamsplitters are optical components used to split incident light at a designated ratio into two separate beams. Polarizing cube beamslitters have better polarization separation, but would be. My light source is beamed onto a 50/50 beam splitter behind which sits my camera but I cannot seems to eliminate ghosting from the surface of the beamsplitter.


  • Laser diodes fail to focus light after high temperature

    Laser diodes fail to focus light after high temperature

    This failure mode is usually caused by using too much die attachment material during assembly, and excessively high temperatures and pulse energy levels will accelerate the failure process. Laser Diodes may fail in two ways, gradual degradation or catastrophic failure. The effect of temperature o the performance of uncooled semiconductor LD was experimentally studied. Even within the absolute maximum ratings, the life becomes shorter by using at high temperatures. For this reason, the design should include sufficient margin. A computational model for the evaluation of the thermomechanical effects that give rise to the catastrophic optical damage (COD) of laser diodes has been devised. Degradation is observed and recorded throughout the test by precise measurement of changes in the laser's operating characteristics. The latest “praeternatural” interpretation: loss of confinement (!) Back to earth: one of the most difficult Failure Analyses A layer of defects MUST.
