"Great in Optics – Small in Size!" The growing core of the “PolyPhotonics” Innovation Initiative will take this motto to the global communications market. The project is part of the “Regional Enterprise Initiative” of the German Federal Ministry of Research. The consortium develops the value chain for the creation of a new technology platform. The Fraunho-fer Heinrich HertzInstitute HHI coordinates the project.

With the rise in wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers that rely on smart sensors, and the continued popularity of smartphones, smart devices are taking our country by storm. Wireless data for such devices is typically beamed through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, yet, the new wireless communication technology of "visible light communication (VLC)," has emerged as a new option albeit with limitations due to the challenges it faces in practice,...

For use with its range of avalanche photodiodes, LASER COMPONENTS is a supplier of DC/DC high voltage modules capable of providing up to 380V from a 5V input voltage. Three versions are available; the dBC-120-3x, providing output voltages in the range 1 -120V, the dBC-220-3x for 1-220V and, for larger APDs requiring higher voltages up to 380V, the dBC-380-5x. All three modules feature a compact housing (21 x 21 x 8.3mm), ideal for small-footprint...

Offering a unique combination of high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and ease of use for photon counting applications, the COUNTBLUE from LASER COMPONENTS provides everything needed for photon detection towards the blue end of the spectrum.

A supplier of analogue and mixed-signal semiconductors, Semtech, has announced the release of the GN28L95 integrated laser driver and limiting amplifier for asymmetric 10G PON applications, combining for the first time Semtech’s automatic laser calibration technology with programmable 2.5G transmit and 10G receive signal paths.

The OPT3002 light-to-digital sensor from Texas Instruments (TI) is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. Greatly improving system performance over standard photodiodes and photoresistors, the fully-integrated OPT3002 delivers the functionality of an optical power meter all within a single small device.

As an attractive alternative to the photomultiplier tube, LASER COMPONENTS is proud to manufacture the SAP500-series. Based on a 'reach-through' structure for excellent quantum efficiency, extremely low noise, low bulk dark current and high gain, these components can be operated in normal linear mode (Reverse Voltage < Breakdown Voltage) at gains of up to 250 or greater or in 'Geiger' mode (Reverse Voltage > Breakdown Voltage) to permit the...

The COUNT Q from LASER COMPONENTS provides everything needed for free-running photon detection from 950-1600nm, and offers a unique combination of high quantum efficiency, wide dynamic range and ease of use for photon counting applications.

With high speed and narrow linewidth laser sources, LASER COMPONENTS has released a range of 850nm VCSELs that are offered; fire coupled, free beam or in an optical connector.

Enhancing imaging performance in demanding industrial applications, ON Semiconductor has improved the Near-InfraRed (NIR) sensitivity of CCD image sensors. The 8MP KAI-08052 image sensor, the first device in ON Semiconductor’s CCD portfolio to leverage this new technology, provides up to twice the sensitivity in NIR wavelengths as the company’s standard Interline Transfer CCD pixel design.
