Cedrat Technologies unveils mega-powerful SA75 switching amplifiers
CEDRAT TECHNOLOGIES develops high-performance, cutting-edge actuators and piezoelectric motors. Its new SA75 range of switching amplifiers has been designed to harness the performance of its powerful piezo actuators (APA® and PPA in L and XL) from -20V to +150V under dynamic conditions. It also includes energy-recovery capacities, allowing consumption to be reduced by a factor of 10.
Beam splitters combine portable design with high power
Controlling and adjusting the beam output power that reaches the beam profiling camera, the family of LBS-400 Beam Splitters has been launched by Ophir Photonics. The company claimthat the LBS-400 samplers are the largest, dual-wedge attenuators on the market.
Symposium papers target single molecule microscopy community
Hamamatsu Photonics will present two papers at the Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Symposium, on the 27th – 29th August 2014 in London, England. The eventis aimed at the single molecule microscopy community, and provides aplatform to disscuss advances in the development of fluorescent proteins and dyes, labelling approaches, buffer systems, data processing and analysis software. Biological discoveries made using single molecule micr...
Long exposure time enables ultra-low light detection
Claimed by the manufacturer to push the boundaries of ultra-low light detection, the ORCA II camera from Hamamatsu Photonics is suitable for applications including luminescence and low level fluorescence imaging, high resolution microscopy or semiconductor imaging, X-ray applications, neutron radiography and scintillator readout.
IoT provides a market for photonics
With material-based science technologies becoming more mainstream, Invest in Photonics organisers are encouraging people to invest in photonics. Organisers claim that this technology, which uses light to run devices and transmit data, is in the process of revolutionising healthcare, transforming computing and manufacturing and addressing challenges in energy-efficiency with intelligent light management systems.
USB communications added to laser power/energy meter
With USB communications added to StarLite, Ophir Photonics' low cost, handheld laser power/energy meter can directly communicate with a PC via USB. This USB option enables the StarLite meter to display all measurements on the company's StarLab 3.0 laser measurement software.
Laser profiling camera features 160x160px image array
A laser beam profiling camera, claimed to provide more accurate beam measurements, has been introduced by Ophir Photonics. The Pyrocam IV is the next generation of the Pyrocam family, following the Pyrocam III. The camera, which features a 160x160px image array that can profile beams up to 1/2" (12.8mm), measures bothpulsed and continuous wave lasers, from 13-355 and 1.06-3000µm and greater.
LG Motion sign distribution agreement with Airex
A distribution agreement has been made for LG Motion to sell and integrate Airex Corporation's range of linear motors, linear positioning actuators, rotary motors and voice coils. The Airex range includes patented and distinctive characteristics that enable the high levels of dynamic performance that is called for in demanding motion control applications such as semiconductor manufacture, imaging & photonics, aerospace & undersea, medical...
WDM interconnect 28Gb/s silicon platform demonstrated at IPR 2014
Improved performance of various key building blocks for WDM optical interconnects in silicon was successfully demonstrated by imec at IPR 2014. The demonstration involved, at wafer-scale, a ring-based WDM filter with an improved thermo-optic tuning efficiency of better than 1nm/mW per channel. The demonstration also included a thermally tunable 28Gb/s ring modulator with an efficiency of 260pm/mW, and a high-speed germanium photodetector achievin...
