poLight ASA Features New Thorlabs Optical Cage System Products with Integrated TLens® at SPIE Photonics West 2024

Components Offer Ease-of-Design for Tunable Optics in Photonics Applications

HORTEN, Norway - January 30, 2024 -- poLight

ASA (https://www.polight.com/home/default.aspx) (OSE: PLT) will demonstrate

Thorlabs' (https://www.thorlabs.com/) new 16 mm and 30 mm cage plates with

integrated TLens® product, a proprietary polymer and piezo MEMS-based tunable

lens, in booth #5336 at SPIE Photonics West 2024 (https://spie.org/conferences

-and-exhibitions/photonics-west?SSO=1). The TLens® Silver Premium component was

integrated into Thorlabs' 16 mm and 30 mm cage plates, item numbers VL19S(/M)

and VL19S(/M), respectively. The tunable lenses can be controlled with Thorlabs'

Kinesis® K-CubeT piezo controller. The TLens® offers fast focusing capabilities

for laser systems and a focal range from infinity to 20 cm. For more

"Integrating the innovative poLight TLens® into our optics portfolio provides

design engineers with a clear path to incorporate tunable optics into their

photonics applications," said Pauline Non, Advanced Systems Technologies

Business Unit Leader at Thorlabs. "We are excited to see the potential use cases

our customers create. The new products can also be viewed in the Thorlabs booth

(#627) at the SPIE Photonics West 2024 (https://spie.org/conferences-and

-exhibitions/photonics-west?SSO=1) exhibition."
