Laser to be developed for deep tissue analysis
A highly-specialist laser capable of analysing potentially deadly diseases as never before is under development at Heriot-Watt University. The Deep Tissue project is a new laser that aims to enable greater analysis of biological tissue including skin, bone and even plant life.
Safe compound detects mid-infrared light to a wavelength of 14.3μm
By utilising compound opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology developed in-house over many years Hamamatsu Photonics has succeed in mass-producing a compound opto-semiconductor (type-II superlattice infrared detector) not containing harmful mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) but able to detect mid-infrared light to a wavelength of 14.3μm.
Hamamatsu Photonics expanding to meet demand
Hamamatsu Photonics will construct a new factory building at the Shingai Factory (Shingai-cho, Minami-ku, Hamamatsu City, Japan) to cope with increasing sales demand for opto-semiconductors, X-ray image sensors and X-ray flat panel sensors. The new factory building will be completed in August 2020.
