Developed by AdValue Photonics, the world’s first High Power Mode-Locked Fiber Laser in the 2 micron spectral region with >10 kW peak power, picosecond pulses, 1W average power, and near diffraction limited beam offers unprecedented capabilities to the scientific communities for mid-infrared generation, nonlinear frequency conversion, spectroscopy, sensing, and materials processing investigations.

ProPhotonix Limited is pleased to announce the launch of InViso Micro, an extension to its highly successful InViso laser diode module product line. Machine Vision systems enable the inspection of products throughout the manufacturing process and allow manufacturers to ensure that their products conform to the exact specifications to which they were initially designed.

Cree, Inc., a market leader in LED lighting, announces that Gwangju, South Korea, is the first city in South Korea to join the LED City initiative, an international program that promotes the deployment of energy-efficient LED lighting. Gwangju, South Korea's center for the advancement of photonics, is home to 180 companies that were formed to research, develop and commercialize LED lighting products.

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new range of silicon detectors and image sensors that offer enhanced near-infrared sensitivity. Using unique laser processing technology, MEMS structures can be fabricated on the silicon surface which act to reduce reflections and increase the surface area of the active element. This process drastically increases the sensitivity in wavelengths longer than 800nm.

Optoelectronic systems are being used to an increasing extent in the manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) modules and are helping greatly to increase production efficiency. In particular, laser technology is proving its superiority in processes such as material removal, fusion, soldering, welding and drilling. Lasers have become indispensable tools, especially in the manufacture of thin-layer solar cells. Manufacturers are therefore profiting directl...

Molex today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Luxtera’s Active Optical Cable (AOC) business. Luxtera, the worldwide leader in Silicon CMOS Photonics, will transfer all aspects of its existing and future AOC business to Molex including current QSFP+ (Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable) 40Gbps Ethernet and InfiniBand products and customers. The acquisition immediately adds QSFP active optical cables to Molex’s portfolio o...

Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the new miniature, high power UV fibre light source, also known as the “S2D2”. The new L10671 features a brand new high performance 10 Watt Deuterium lamp, providing high radiant intensity and very high stability of 0.004 % (which is comparable to Hamamatsu’s industry leading 30 Watt D2 lamps).

Hamamatsu Photonics introduces a new streak camera series for UV to near-infrared measurements of extremely fast light phenomena. The C10910 series simultaneously delivers intensity vs. time vs. position (or wavelength) information with single-photon sensitivity and temporal resolution down to 1 ps. With such capabilities, these streak cameras are suitable for measuring fast fluorescence lifetimes, response times of quantum devices, electron bunc...

Hamamatsu Photonics introduced a hybrid photodetector module, the H10777. The hybrid photodetector (HPD) dispenses with the traditional metal dynodes found within a conventional photomultiplier tube (PMT) and instead photoelectrons are accelerated in a high electric field onto a silicon avalanche diode target, which is connected to form the cathode/output of the device.

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.
