Xanadu and imec to develop photonic chips for quantum computing
Xanadu and imec have announced a partnership to develop the next-gen of photonic qubits based on ultra-low loss silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides, the partnership is to fabricate low loss and uniform silicon nitride circuits for error corrected qubits.
IES to attend SPIE Photonex + Vacuum Technologies 2021
IES, a partner of innovative R&D and semiconductor equipment specialists, will be attending SPIE Photonex + Vacuum Technologies 2021 to discuss processing equipment for photonics applications.
Speed sensor gives transmission designers more options
Allegro MicroSystems has introduced a new, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) speed sensor that measures the rotation of ferromagnetic gears. TheATS19480speed sensor IC provides a single-channel solution that’s suited for hybrid and pure electric vehicle transmissions, with use cases extending to two-wheelers, off-road vehicles, and industrial application designs requiring speed-only information.
Hamamatsu Photonics release wavelength-swept quantum cascade laser
By leveraging its micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology and optical mounting technology, Hamamatsu Photonics has designed and developed a t wavelength-swept quantum cascade laser (QCL) to a size that is 1/150th that of previous products.
Using photonics to detect bowel cancer
Early intervention could prevent many of the 160,000 deaths from colon cancer in Europe each year. Colonoscopies, the gold standard for spotting bowel cancer early, can still miss up to 20% of precancerous cells. But now, thanks to a pan-European health consortium, a new concept that uses photonics to help doctors spot bowel cancer could soon prevent up to half of these deaths and save €9bn in reduced healthcare costs.
Modular RF switch design solution for easy simulation
Menlo Microsystems has announced that it has partnered with X-Microwave to deliver an X-MWblocks modular building block that enables developers to rapidly prototype RF switch design solutions based on Menlo Micro’s high-performance MM5130 switch.
Design and tape-out of embedded ReRAM module
Weebit Nanohas announced that it has completed the design and verification stages of its embedded ReRAM module, and taped-out (released to manufacturing) a test-chip that integrates this module. This highly integrated test-chip will be used as the final platform for testing and qualification, ahead of customer production.
3DMAG magnetic position sensor enables ADAS
Allegro MicroSystems has announced the release of theA31315sensor, the newest member of the 3DMAG family of rotary and linear magnetic position sensor ICs for automotive and industrial applications.
Brain damage in babies spotted early with new photonics scanner
An estimated 500,000 babies born around the world each year develop unnecessary brain damage that could be treated if caught in time - but monitoring these infants' delicate brains is extremely difficult. However, spotting these underlying causes at a critical, early stage, a new photonics device currently in development aims to reduce unnecessary disabilities by improving the instant, real time monitoring of newborn babies with harmless light pa...
Photonic doppler velocimetry in versatile form factor
LASER COMPONENTS has introduced its Photonics Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) instrument in a compact and versatile benchtop form factor. Velocity measurement of fast-moving materials is essential to a growing number of scientific and technical fields including shock physics, the study of material properties, hypervelocity impact testing, detonics and shock wave experiments.
