Industry Tutorial: Mastering Periodic Signal Analysis for Optics & Photonics Applications
10 September 2024 10:00 - 11:00
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)Optics and photonics research aims to measure increasingly smaller effects and faster processes. For a wide range of specific applications, the signals stemming from such experiments are tiny and often buried in noise or covered by large backgrounds.
By averaging only the signal of interest while simultaneously rejecting all spurious noise contributions, Lock-in amplifiers and boxcar averagers are the ideal tools to boost your signal-to-noise ratio when measuring small optical signals.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn the measurement principles of lock-in amplification and boxcar averaging;
- Understand why such techniques are beneficial for capturing small signals in optical experiments; and
- Learn which applications benefit from the two different approaches.
An extended live Q&A session will allow you to ask us your questions – join us for this event!
