Since 1993 Hamamatsu Photonics have offered a wide range of CMOS linear image sensors for use in analytical instruments such as spectrophotometers and industrial process monitoring equipment. A new range of CMOS linear image sensors has recently been developed, which offer very high-speed response whilst maintaining high resolution.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduced the G11097-0606S, a brand new two dimensional InGaAs image sensor that compliments the existing range of high performance linear image sensors. The G11097-0606S consists of a CMOS readout integrated circuit (ROIC) and a back illuminated InGaAs photodiode array, which are connected via indium bumps on a hybrid structure. The G11097-0606S features simultaneous charge integration and a 5MHz video data rate. Also includ...

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the S11108 CMOS linear image sensor with APS (Active Pixel Sensor) technology. The latest APS technology allows the S11108 to achieve a combination of a very high sensitivity, at 50 V/(lx•s) together with a high speed video data rate of 10 MHz. This is accomplished by simultaneously integrating charge for all pixels and allows the S11108 to offer comparable sensitivity to high performance linear CCD sensors.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new design of back-thinned linear CCD image sensor. The S11155-2048 and S11156-2048 utilise a resistive gate structure, with “on chip” electronic shutter function, offering high speed readout with low image lag. With their back-thinned structure these CCDs offer a high sensitivity (> 80 % quantum efficiency) from the UV to the NIR region of the spectrum.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the world’s first commercially available Indium Arsenide Antimonide (InAsSb) detector, the P11120-901. The new detector provides peak sensitivity in the 5 µm infrared spectral band and operates over the entire range from 1.6 µm to 5.8 µm. This high sensitivity is realised via Hamamatsu’s unique crystal growth technology. The InAsSb photodiode used in the P11120-901 has a planar structure which ensures a high s...

Hamamatsu Photonics is at Microscience 2010 exhibition (29th June – 1st July, ExCeL Centre, London) and offer a live demonstration of both the new and innovative ORCA-Flash2.8, our first high-sensitivity digital camera based on a next-generation Scientific CMOS image sensor and the ORCA-D2, a ground-breaking dual CCD camera which enables simultaneous dual-wavelength imaging that features two CCD devices and interchangeable optical blocks.

Hamamatsu introduces a new imaging based plate reader, the FDSSμCELL, specifically developed for compound screening and assay development applications in the Pharmaceutical, CRO and Biotech Industries.

Hamamatsu Photonics is a proud recipient of a Prism Award, given in recognition of their MicroFocus X-ray Sources (MFX). The Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation is an international competition for companies that realise innovative products that break conventional ideas, solve problems and improve life with photonics technology. This prestigious Award was presented to Hamamatsu Photonics during a gala ceremony held during the SPIE Photonics West...

Hamamatsu introduces the new ORCA-Flash2.8, our first high-sensitivity digital camera based on a next-generation Scientific CMOS image sensor. Designed for low-light imaging at high frame rates, this new camera combines high resolution, high sensitivity, high speed and low noise, with a price / performance level that is unmatched.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new L10762 resonant cavity LED for POF (Plastic Optical Fibre) data communication. The new L10762 is a red emitting resonant cavity LED that offers 7 times the fibre end output power compared to conventional types; this is achieved by bonding a microball lens to the LED chip surface. The microball lens greatly increases the coupling efficiency to optical fibres by focusing the emitted light into the fibre.
