Kinematic holders, powder 3D printers, single crystal growth systems and much more in review of Photonics 2025 exhibitors

18 / 12 / 2024

We present to your attention a review of products to be displayed at Photonics. World of Lasers and Optics 2025 at EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds on 1–4 April 2025. You can see a preliminary list of exhibitors on the exhibition website.

A competitor to European and American optomechanical giants

INSCIENCE has tested JCOPTIX optomechanical components together with the laboratories of ITMO, LETI, and MEPhI universities. The tests showed not only stability similar to Thorlabs, Optosigma, and Newport components, but also their full compatibility.

The KM100 Thorlabs kinematic optics mount is designed for two-axis angular adjustment of 1” diameter optical components in the range of ±4° with an accuracy of 0.5°/turn, the competitor of the MMM-1 JCOPTIX surpasses the European analogue with an accuracy of 0.38°/turn. JCOPTIX components for 16, 30 and 60 mm coaxial systems completely repeat the assortment and size range of Thorlabs, which also simplifies integration into already built systems. JCOPTIX standard linear translators are equipped with Mitutoyo precision micrometer screws, which allows you to not compromise on the usual accuracy when choosing this manufacturer.

Optical and optomechanical components of JCOPTIX are used in experiments by researchers from leading Russian universities. The research areas include spectroscopy, interferometry, quantum communications, laser technologies, and plasma analysis.

The key advantages of JCOPTIX are strict quality control, order processing speed, large warehouse stocks, and flexibility in manufacturing non-standard solutions.

These and other JCOPTIX products can be seen at the INSCIENCE stand FF050 at Photonics. World of Lasers and Optics 2025.

Installations for growing sapphire and ruby single crystals by Bridgman-Stockbarger method

Designed for growing leucosapphire and ruby single crystals in any crystallographic orientation, including the C-orientation (0001). Crystals are grown in a crucible, the size and shape of which determine the size and shape of the future crystal. The Bridgman-Stockbarger method grows crystals along any crystallographic axis, which allows for a significant increase in the yield of the usable product and a reduction in the cost of subsequent processing.

Installations for growing leucosapphire single crystals by Kyropoulos KY method (Musatov, GOI)

Designed for growing leucosapphire single crystals from a melt. The Kyropoulos method is characterized by small temperature gradients at the crystallization front. The main advantages include the technical simplicity of the process and the ability to grow large crystals (>500 kg) with a low dislocation density.

Vacuum gate valves

The gate valve body is a sealed vacuum chamber flanged to the vacuum system. Unlike vacuum valves, the plate of a slide gate valve moves perpendicular to the gas flow, which ensures its maximum conductivity in the open position. Therefore, vacuum gate valves are best suited for equipment operating in the molecular gas flow mode, such as turbomolecular, ion-heteric and cryogenic pumps.

Vacuum gate valves can be equipped with a manual, pneumatic or electromechanical drive. Gate valves can be made with a bellows or elastomer stem seal.

Vacuum Furnaces

Vacuum furnaces are specialized thermal equipment used for thermal processing in a non-oxidizing environment and/or in vacuum. Industrial vacuum furnaces are used for thermal processing and melting.
