The Signaloc 2100 Lock-In Amplifier (LIA) was originally designed for demodulation of PEM signals in Hinds’ internally developed Exicor® line of high performance birefringence measurement instrumentation. The goal was to match the sensitivity of popular commercially available lock-in amplifiers while minimizing extraneous functions to keep the cost down. The resulting Signaloc lock-in amplifier exceeded all…

New PER/ER polarization extinction ratio system for QC Labs
The Polarization Extinction Ratio system is an easy-to-use, highly sensitive instrument for measuring both polarizaton extinction ratio (PER) and extinction ratio (ER). Recently introduced by Hinds Instruments, the system is useful for characterizing polarization optics to an extinction ratio of about 106. Conversion between ER and PER modes is easily accomplished with a lever that…
New Research Grade, High Value Lock-in Amplifier for PEM Applications
The Signaloc™ 2100 Lock-In Amplifier is an AC and DC signal recovery instrument including the proprietary Hinds Instruments Lock-In Amplifier module and control display software. It is optimized for use with Hinds Photoelastic Modulators (PEMs). Users may now modulate signals with the Hinds PEM and demodulate with another Hinds product that has been optimized for this use. …
