LDRA Wins $1 Million Contract in China’s Manned Spacecraft Programme
The China Manned Spacecraft Programme (CMSP) selected LDRA, the leading provider of automated software verification tools, and the LDRA tool suite to analyse complex safety-critical applications related to the Tiangong 1 spacecraft. The Tiangong spacecraft, required to meet DO-178B Level-A certification, will carry out space rendezvous and docking experiments that support the overall mission of CMSP. The LDRA tool suite will enable CMSP developer...
Spectroscopic Back Thinned CCD Image Sensors with Improved Etaloning Effect for Medical Applications
Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the new high-speed S11071 series, with vastly reduced etaloning effect, the latest addition of brand new high performance, cost effective back thinned CCD image sensors. Hamamatsu Photonics back thinned CCD technology has long been used in the development of high end analytical and medical instruments. The back thinned technology provides excellent sensitivity in the UV and blue end of the spectrum, combined wit...
Photo IC Replacement for Photo-conductive Cells from Hamamatsu Photonics
Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced a linear output Photo IC, the S10604 to replace traditional CdS photoconductive cells (also known as LDRs), which have been used for many years in visible light sensor products. The use of cadmium in electronic equipment is now restricted under European RoHS legislation, so the alternative S10604 photo IC is fabricated from silicon and is fully compliant with all RoHS regulations.
Hamamatsu Photonics Optical Switch Photo IC
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a new Photo IC, the S11067-01CT angle sensor. The S11067-01CT is a high performance sensor that directly processes absolute angle information into digital data. An encoder can be made using a rotating plate with a semicircular slit in conjunction with an LED and the S11067-01CT. Light from the LED passes through the slit, illuminating the 720 fan-shaped elements of the circular photodiode array. The digital data is...
Hamamatsu New High Sensitivity Single Element Thermopile Sensor for Infrared Detection
Hamamatsu Photonics have developed a brand new series of thermopile infrared detectors, to meet the demand for low cost sensors with high S/N for gas analysis applications. The T11262-01 is a high sensitivity thermopile sensor with a D* of 1.3x108. The sensor is housed within a compact TO-18 package with a high transmittance window in the 3-5µm band. The T11262-01 also benefits from a low element resistance and low temperature coefficient of ele...
Hamamatsu Back-Illuminated InGaAs Linear Image Sensors for Food Inspection
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new G11135 series of InGaAs linear image sensors, designed for foreign object inspection. These image sensors consist of an InGaAs photodiode array and CMOS chip containing a charge amplifier array, offset compensation circuit, shift register and a timing generator. The G11135 series are back-illuminated sensors and use indium bumps to connect the InGaAs array with the CMOS chip. This bonding method removes the n...
CMOS Digital Photo IC for Colour Sensing
Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the 12-bit digital output colour sensor Photo IC. The new S9706(X) device consists of a matrix photodiode array, coupled to a RGB (red, green and blue) filter matrix to give colour response. The device is combined with “in house” CMOS processing electronics and is all within a monolithic silicon chip. The output of the S9706(X) is in 12-bit digital format with the colour intensity of red, green and blue re...
New High-Power Infrared LED for Spectrophotometry and Moisture Detection Applications
Hamamatsu Photonics introduce the new L10660 extended Infrared LED, the latest in their current range of high quality Infrared LEDs. Featuring 2.6 times the radiant output power of the conventional type (L7850), the L10660 was developed using MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) technology to create LEDs with multiple quantum wells in the active layer.
Hamamatsu Photonics New TE-Cooled MPPC Module
Hamamatsu Photonics introduced the new C11208 MPPC module which integrates the S11028 series MPPC, a pixelated silicon avalanche photodiode operated in Geiger-mode, with the addition of a high performance thermoelectric cooler. Along with the TE cooled MPPC, the module houses a current-to-voltage converter, high speed comparator, high voltage power supply circuit, temperature control and counting circuits as well as a micro controller.
