Slit beam profiler takes sub micron measurements
A high power, scanning slit beam profiler, NanoScan 2s is now available in a more compact size from Ophir. The NIST-calibrated profiler instantly measures beam position and size with sub-micron precision for CW and kilohertz pulsed lasers. It offers silicon, germanium, or pyroelectric detectors; this allows profiling lasers of any wavelength, from UV to far infrared, to 100μm and beyond.
First laser arrays monolithically grown on 300mm silicon wafers
Imec and Ghent University present, for the first time, arrays of indium phosphide lasers monolithically integrated on 300mm silicon substrates in a CMOS pilot line. This breakthrough achievement, published in Nature Photonics, provides a path toward high-volume manufacturing of cost-effective PICs with monolithically integrated laser sources. Such laser-powered PICs will revolutionise data transfer between future logic and memory chips.
Expanding the possibilities of detection & ranging
Founded in 2007 as a successful spin-off of Canada's leading optics and photonics research institute, LeddarTech has reinvented detection and ranging with Leddar, a unique optical sensing technology that enables OEMs, integrators and solution providers to bring innovative, sensor-based products and solutions to market. The company will be exhibiting from Stand 121 in Hall 7A.
The 'first & only' sCMOS camera with over 80% peak quantum efficiency
Hamamatsu Photonics is proud to announce that the peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) of the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 has been increased to over 80% and it is now available for immediate delivery. With the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 already delivering a wide field of view, wide dynamic range and fast frame rates, this increase in QE from the front-illuminated sensor makes it yet more versatile and powerful.
Spectrometer head comes in fingertip size
Hamamatsu Photonics introduces the latest development within its MEMS spectrometer range; the C12880MA, an ultra-compact, fingertip size spectrometer head offering wider spectral response and high sensitivity over the UV to visible range.
EFS function helps to gain insights into DMD research
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive and fatal muscle degenerating disease caused by a dystrophin deficiency. Effective suppression of the primary pathology observed in DMD is critical for treatment. Patient-derived human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs) are a promising tool for drug discovery.
Linear image sensors feature high sensitivity
Hamamatsu Photonics introduces the improved S11850-1106 and S11851-1106 back-thinned CCD linear image sensors; with improved etaloning characteristics and high sensitivity designed for spectrometry applications. The S11850-1106 offers low noise and the S11851-1106 offers high speed, while both offer a nearly flat spectral response and high quantum efficiency from the UV to near infrared region.
LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015 ends successfully
LASER World of PHOTONICS INDIA 2015, the 4th edition of India’s only trade fair for the laser and precision optics industry, came to an end on 11th September 2015 at Pragati Maidan Exhibition Centre, New Delhi. It brought together buyers and sellers on one unique platform. The fully sold-out trade fair meant more exhibitors, more exhibition space and more technology showcased at the 2015 edition. LASER World of PHOTONICS INDIA welcomed 145 ...
EU nanomed association targets innovation
Patrick Boisseau, Chairman, European Technology Platform on Nanomedicine (ETPN), said that nanomedicine in Europe is rapidly progressing from a primarily academic-research-oriented and fragmented field to a multi-national programme sharply focused on bringing the benefits of nanomedicine to all Europeans.
Plasma processing workshop engages researchers
Students and industry researchers involved in many aspects of nanotechnology gained a broad understanding of plasma processing at a workshop presented recently by Plasma-Therm at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
