General Photonics Toolkit

In the general photonics toolkit you can find all the specific photonics components needed for the 33 Phablabs 4.0 workshops. Select the components you need and we'll send you a quote for it. Most components come in sets of five pieces.

You can find all details of photonics workshops on the PHABLABS 4.0 website.

An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of glass or plastic, the diameter of which can vary. Optical fibers are often used as a means to guide or transmit light between the two ends of the fiber.

A lens is a transmissive optical component that focusses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction. It is made of a transparent plastic or glass material. It is used for imaging applications, light beam shaping or light collection.

Workshop: Art with light & Atmosphere with a night lamp

A light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p-n junction diode that emits light when activated. High power LEDs are all about efficiency and lowering forward voltage (Vf) to achieve a higher lumen/watt.

Infrared LEDs are used for remote controls. They are 940nm wavelength, which nearly all devices listen to. They are 20 degree beamwidth and are ideal for any kind of remote control application.

Workshop: IRglove

A laser diode is an electrically pumped semiconductor laser in which the active laser medium is formed by a p-n junction of a semiconductor diode similar to that found in a light-emit-ting diode. The laser light is directional lighting source.

A solar cell is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is as physical and chemical phenomenon.

Workshop: Heliostat

Diffraction Gratings are used for the direct viewing and analysis of spectra from different gas tubes and other light sources. The quality of the spectrum produced from our gratings is the brightest possible with a minimum of distracting visual noise. Our gratings are the principal component in a spectroscope and are used for experiments pertaining to the study of light and color.

Workshop: Kaleidoscope, Basic spectrometer

A polarizer is an optical filter that lets light waves of a specific polarization pass and blocks light waves of other polarizations.
