Putting Photonics To Work For You

We worked with Diamond Billiards Products to develop an optical cue ball separator that allows the use of a regulation cue ball on pay-for-play pool tables. Before our work, pay-for-play tables used non-regulation cue balls to allow separation of the cue ball from the play balls. We now supply this product to Diamond who integrates it into their pay-for-play competition pool tables. Diamond holds the patent for this device. Our solution takes advantage of a seldom-used property of materials—their optical density.
