NoIR Laser has been manufacturing laser safety eyewear for multiple applications since 1996, following its creation by parent company NoIR Medical Technologies.
Optics & Fibre-optics
The company offers a comprehensive group of filters for protection against specific or combined laser wavelengths, a broad choice of frames to suit your face and pocket, and additional products for patient/client protection and pilots. All the NoIR products Elliot Scientific offers are CE-certified (EN207/208).
CAUTION: Laser safety eyewear offers protection only against incidental exposure to specified beam energies, so incorrect choice and use may lead to serious personal injury or blindness. Honeywell Sperian is a worldwide leader in laser protective eyeware, patient care products, and speciality filters for industrial, communications, military and medical applications. Honeywell Sperian’s advanced technology makes maximum protection affordable. LGT (Laser Glass Technology) styles are constructed from absorbing glass, dielectrics and self-healing plastics which are combined to maximise visibility, reduce weight and provide impact resistance - a first in the industry. Polymer styles are designed to maximise visibility while providing unsurpassed attenuation by narrowing the absorption band to the specific laser wavelengths. They are manufactured to stringent European and ANSI standards in an ISO certified state-of-the-art facility. Pilot Sunglasses are a new line that draws on 40 years of experience of manufacturing visors for the US Air Force. Honeywell Sperian aviator products significantly reduce the threat posed by today’s powerful green and red laser pointers. Laser–Gard® (right) is a new Optical Table Barrier System, the first of its kind in the industry, that offers a uniquely customisable way to securely enclose a laser set-up in the laboratory.
Elliot Scientific recommends that you consult your laser safety officer, appropriate laser safety standards and laser system documentation to ensure correct choice of eyewear for safe laser use.

Elliot Scientific is a specialist UK designer and manufacturer of micropositioning and fibre alignment solutions.
Precision Positioning
Optics & Fibre-optics
Our flexure stages and micropositioners are at the core of a comprehensive range of precision mechanical systems and components engineered for research and industry. Our miniature slide series is offered in three different size ranges - “small”, “very-small”, and “ultra-small”; and in various configurations such as XY, XZ, YZ, and XYZ. We also manufacture precision rotary stages and these can be used in conjunction with our slides to suit your application.
MDE511 Polarisation Maintaining Fibre Launch Stage
The popular Elliot GoldTM series XYZ flexure stage is an evolution of the original version invented by Martock Design. The most stable stage on the market, it is ideal for high precision device alignment due to its nanometre resolution. Fibre launch (pictured top right), waveguide alignment, and the manipulation of microstructures in bioscience are typical applications. The stage can be supplied with a variety of adjusters, from simple or precision, through to piezo or stepper motor. It is available in right- or left-hand versions, and has an extensive range of complementary fibre-optic accessories that include v-grooves and clamps, vacuum or connectorised holders, fibre rotators and grippers.
Six-axis Positioning Stage
Such is the versatility of the Elliot GoldTM series XYZ flexure stage, it can form the basis of much more complex manipulators, such as our 6-axis positioning stage for fibre, waveguide and device alignment. Alignment of single mode fibres has never been an easy task, so the Elliot|Martock range was originally developed to address this challenge. With optical waveguide devices, alignment is more difficult as it is necessary to simultaneously align fibres or fibre arrays to the input and output of a device. Elliot Scientific’s range of solutions include the MDE 881 Professional Workstation, a flexure based system designed specifically to address alignment problems with a wide variety of devices and fibre types in both characterisation and pigtailing applications.
Elliot|Martock Miniature Slides
An automated solution is also available in our E-WedgeTM system. It includes roll axis optimisation and enables compensation for angled device facets. E-WedgeTM can also be configured as a dual-ended automatic waveguide or device alignment workstation, providing simultaneous alignment of input and output arrays.

OZ Optics has developed Foresight™, a sophisticated Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensor (DSTS) based on Brillouin scattering in an optical fibre. • • • • • • • DSTS can monitor: • Power lines • Bridges, dams & buildings • Oil & gas pipelines / wells • Corrosion • Erosion • Smart structures • Structural health
Foresight™ can measure subtle changes in both temperature and strain along the length of a fibre over time, or the rapid detection and location of a major disturbance within a second. By wrapping or embedding a fibre inside a structure, such as an oil pipeline or dam, detection of the structure being thermally cycled or otherwise stressed is possible, allowing for pre-emptive maintenance. Such monitoring capability is invaluable in critical structures where cracks and failure could involve loss of life or other unprecedented costs. Foresight™ can also detect and report larger signals within one second with only a slight loss of accuracy. This sort of response speed is ideal for applications such as border and perimeter security, or strains caused by earthquakes where an immediate measurement and reaction may be required.

Semiconductor and electronic materials are continuously being developed for new applications that include highpower, photovoltaic and thermoelectric devices, displays, and organic electronics. The traditional electronic transport property measurement system with DC field cannot measure many of these materials due to their low charge carrier mobilities and the high temperatures needed to characterise high-power devices, so a new measurement method is needed.
Hall Measurement System
Lake Shore’s 8400 series AC/DC Hall measurement system is the flagship of the range of Hall platforms, and includes a unique AC field option that enables users to characterise materials with Hall mobilities down to 0.001 cm2/Vs, lower than is possible using traditional DC field Hall measurement techniques. This feature allows for easier measurement of emerging semiconductor and electronic materials, enabling a significant breakthrough in research productivity.
VSM/AGM Systems
AC field capability tops the list of an assortment of options including variable temperature assemblies, high and low resistance, and optical access. These add-ons broaden measurement opportunities and simplify experimental processes.
Cryogenic Probe Stations Lake Shore’s cryogenic probe stations provide precisely-controlled environments for the non-destructive measurement of the electrical properties of materials and early-stage electronic devices. Probe stations are versatile and flexible research platforms that can be used in dedicated applications, or as multi-use community research assets. Typical applications include sampling IV and CV curves over a wide range of temperatures, characterising magneto-transport properties in variable magnetic fields, measuring microwave and electro-optical responses, making Hall effect measurements to understand carrier mobility, and a variety of other material studies. Magnet equipped models enable the study of material responses in a horizontal or vertical magnetic field. From general purpose units to specialised platforms, each carefully designed Lake Shore probe station ensures stable operation and dependable measurements from cryogenic temperatures all the way through the operating range. Cryogen-free platforms provide the user with push-button convenience, while cryogen-based stations offer a lower initial cost for those who are comfortable working with liquid gases. Configurations can include: High vacuum

These systems incorporate two basic magnetometer techniques with overlapping functional capabilities. The two techniques are represented by the 2900 series alternating gradient (AGM) and 3900 series vibrating sample (VSM) magnetometers, configured either separately or as a combination system with both AGM and VSM measurement heads mounted to a single electromagnet platform. These systems deliver the broadest range of magnetic measurement capabilities with sensitivity to 10-9 emu and measurement speed of 100 ms per point in AGM mode.
