* TM-30-18 technote * An earlier technote described TM-30-15 technical memorandum and its advantages over the CIE colour rendering method [Reference 1, Reference 2]. Over the course of the last year, IES’s colour committee has made some changes to this memorandum to make it more compatible with CIE standards. Three...

The goal of this technote is to identify the hazards posed by different types of paint strippers and also offer laser cleaning as an alternative healthy and green solution that can replace it. The principle of use of paint strippers are simply to apply the paint stripper to the painted...

* Introduction: * Before we start this technote which describes the role of lasers in welding, it is necessary to explain the different types of welding which will be referred to later on in the article. There are basically two types of welding which are called spot welding and seam...

Laser cleaning for paint removal applications has attracted much attention in recent years because the traditional methods of removing paint such as sand blasting and chemical paint stripping produce a lot of environmental pollution. It is time to utilize a green solution for paint stripping. It is possible to do...

*The Lighting Passport smart phone spectrometer was an essential tool for the research and climate studies conducted for this book series. This piece of scientific equipment allows us to test multiple environmental parameters all at once, combine the data and observe the aspects of these high altitude cloud forest ecosystems...

Laguna Caliente inside the active crater of the Poás Volcano and associated thermal image of the lake 8,885 feet or 2,708 meters in altitude Two important tools which were used here up on the Poás Volcano were the Lighting Passport smartphone spectrometer thermal imaging cameras, both of which helped me...

Traditionally, in the food industry, cleaning and disinfection is done using detergent and liquid water. Bacteria on the surfaces form biofilms that adhere to the surfaces very strongly [Reference 1]. Studies have shown that these biofilms are not easy to remove using detergent solutions because they are sticky. Bacteria are...

Lead and zinc-based paint stripping using laser technology** * This technote examines the removal of lead-based paint and zinc-based paint using laser technology. The two main references for the tech note are described below: *Lead-based paint*: The reference from 1996 [Reference 1], examines the removal of a lead-based paints from...

Spectrometer, spectro-radiometer, spectro-photometer, photometer, radiometer What is the difference? Those who deal with spectroscopy and light measuring equipment sometimes wonder what are the differences between a spectrometer, a spectroradiometer, a spectrometer and a photometer. Understanding the differences are important for a particular application so that  funds are not wasted on...
