Ophir Photonics Group has announced the 3A-PF-12 thermal power/energy laser measurement sensor for short pulsed lasers. Part of the 3A-P family of laser sensors that measure power up to 3W, the 3A-PF-12 is an ultra sensitive sensor that can measure powers from as low as 15µW up to 3W and energies from as low as 20µJ to 2J.

Imagine communicating with your bank, the IRS or your doctor by way of an Internet that was perfectly secure. Your most private data would be protected with absolute certainty and, better yet, if any bad actor were to try to eavesdrop you would know immediately. Such is the promise of secure quantum communication.

At last week’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting 2015, world-leading nanoelectronics research center imec, KU Leuven and Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders presented a set of silicon neural probes that combine 12 monolithically integrated optrodes using a CMOS compatible process.

Dover Motion’s recently announced XMG series miniature micropositioning stages feature a new cutting-edge linear motor design that delivers up to five times more force and twice the force density when compared to similar competitive products. Available in the UK from Heason Technology, the XMG is perfectly placed for demanding applications that demand rapid speeds and smooth motion with extremely consistent and stable velocity or force char...

Synopsys has announced version 2015.12 of the Synopsys RSoft Photonic System Design Suite, which includes new features to accelerate the design and fabrication of state-of-the-art silicon photonics, photonic ICs and optical transceivers in data centre applications. Also announced, version 2015.06-2 of the RSoft Photonic Component Design Suite enables faster simulations of complex photonic component designs with new, flexible cluster licensing pol...

Designed for measuring high pulse energies without the need for large, water-cooled devices, Ophir Photonics has announced four new thermal laser sensors. The L40(150)A, L40(150)A-LP1, L50(150)A and L30C-LP1-26-SH are compact sensors that measure high laser energies up to 8,000J. The high power laser irradiates the sensor for a short time, from 0.1 to 1s, and the energy of the pulse is used to calculate laser power.

Ophir Photonics and a Newport Corporation company, have announced the latest version ofBeamWatch, theonlynon-contact beam monitoring system for high power YAG, fiber and diode lasers used in industrial material processing applications. The new version features 3D views of laser beam caustic and ellipticity for a quick and realistic initial display.

SET, Smart Equipment Technology, has announced its participation in the 3D integration consortium of IRT Nanoelec, which is headed by CEA-Leti. SET joins Leti, STMicroelectronics and Mentor Graphics to develop advanced 3D die-to-wafer stacking technologies, using direct copper-to-copper bonding.

Cadence Design Systems has collaborated with Lumerical Solutions and PhoeniX to jointly develop an integrated Electronic/Photonic Design Automation (EPDA) environment for Photonic ICs (PICs). Built around the Cadence Virtuoso custom design platform, the EPDA environment enables schematic or layout-driven design flows for photonic and electronic circuits, photonic component parameter extraction and model generation, photonic circuit simulation and...

Cambridge researchers have developed a new type of display for vehicles which is the first to use laser holographic techniques to project information such as speed, direction and navigation onto the windscreen. The technology is now available on all Jaguar Land Rover vehicles. According to researchers, these new systems provide a fully immersive driving experience and could even improve safety by monitoring driver behaviour.
