Graphene linear array sensor to launch at Laser World of Photonics
Graphene Flagshippartner, Emberion, is launching a new VIS-SWIR graphene photodetector at Laser World of Photonics on 24th to 27th June in Munich, Germany. Showcased in Hall A2 at stand 113/3, the linear array can enable on-site analysis of food and agriculture products using infrared detection - at a lower cost than existing indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) infrared sensors.
Footprint expanded across Europe through recent partnership
Palomar Technologieshasannounced it is partnering with the Electronics and Photonics Innovation Center (EPIC) to establish a Palomar Demonstration Laboratory. As part of the partnership, Palomar is investing $1m in equipment, including a fully loaded 3880 Die Bonder and an 8000i Ball / Bump Wire Bonder for use by customers at the EPIC facility in Paignton (Torbay), the heart of a vibrant electronics and photonics cluster in the United Kingdom.
Design innovative RF components for 5G networks
Leti, a research institute of CEA Tech, and Radiall, have announced a five-year common lab to design innovative antennas and radio frequency (RF) to meet infrastructure requirements of 5G networks and photonics components for harsh environments.
Strawberry-picking robots to gather enough fruit for Wimbledon
Wimbledon fans, who consume 34 thousand kilos of strawberries every year, could one day get their strawberries picked by a small group of new robots, developed in Europe, that use photonics to detect a fruit, and are capable of gathering enough berries for the championships in less than a week.
EU Biophotonic workshop to improve patient healthcare
A biophotonic workshop hosted by the European Commission is set to examine the latest developments in clinical diagnostics. Billed as a performance assessment and standardisation activity, the gathering will act as a biophotonic focus group to improve healthcare, by sharing good practice about making medical devices more reliable and eventually reducing health costs.

Scanning eye providing robot sight
Robots must be equipped with sensors and software for three-dimensional vision in order to gain a spatial understanding of and precisely control objects in their environment. A research team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has been developing and manufacturing micro-scanner mirrors, ‘MEMS’ scanners, which provide robots an ability similar to human vision needed to perceive objects and perform demanding tas...
LIDAR offerings to accelerate autonomous driving
Analog Devices (ADI) has announced a collaboration with First Sensor AG to develop products aimed at speeding the launch of autonomous sensing technology serving unmanned automotive, aerial and underwater vehicles in transportation, smart agriculture, industrial manufacturing and other industries.
What to expect at this year's Laser World of Photonics
As the leading show in photonics, Laser World of Photonics will be taking place from 24th-27th June in Munich, with more than 1,300 exhibitors and more than 33,000 visitors expected across the four days. Additionally running concurrently is the World of Photonics Congress show, taking place from 23rd-27th June, which brings a lot of scientific sources to Munich as some of the most important societies are part of the congress, which will provide a...
