The way to the profession begins with practice!

New visualizer form

Specialists of RPF "Luminofor" Corp. have developed plastic visualizators in the form of rods:
- Rod dimension 119*3 mm (detection zone dimension 30*3 mm);
- Rod dimension 157.8 *8.8 mm (detection zone dimension 15 *8.8 mm).
The advantage of these visualizers is the small size of the detection zone and the presence of a long handle, which allows them to be used in small-sized laser setups. Due to their compactness, the rod-shaped visualizators easily fit into the smallest camera of the device.

Peculiarities:
- high sensitivity to laser emission;
- general and convenient;
- budget.

Participation in the exhibition "Photonics-2023"

RPF "Luminophor" Corp. took part in the annual International Specialized Exhibition "Photonics-2023", which contributed to the creation of new conditions for the demonstration of products.
Samples of mass-produced and new products, examples of the use of products in finished products were presented at the company's stand.
In terms of the exhibition, business communication was held with representatives of more than a hundred companies from Russia, the near and not-so-near abroad. As a result of live communication with consumers, we managed to find out the demand for our products, find out new wishes for the assortment, expand the base of potential buyers and as a result develop a new vector of scientific and production activities of the enterprise.

New photophosphor with orange emission

RPF “Luminofor” Corp.” specialists have developed a luminescent composition (phosphor of FL-626-1 type). It has the orange photoluminescence when excited by ultraviolet light source.

New type of visualizer

As part of the research work carried out by the RPF "Luminofor" Corp., the type of the visualizer IKV-G, which has green luminescence in the spectral range of 900-1085 nm, was modified. The new type of visualizer IKV-G has a wider visualization range, which is in the range of 800-1600 nm. The advantage of this visualizer is that it does not need "precharging" with any light source (for example, infrared or ultraviolet). The IKV-3M visualizer has stationary luminescence when exposed to IR radiation.
