Electro Optics examines some of the latest photonics technologies to hit the market this month
Hamamatsu’s InGaAs area image sensors are suitable for different applications including hyperspectral imaging, industrial sorting, process inspection, and night vision imaging. Hamamatsu’s product line provides multiple options from high resolution with high speed, to high resolution with extremely low dark current and low noise for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In addition, Hamamatsu is also offering module solutions and customized products to meet customers’ specifications.
Introducing the new S16101 CMOS area image sensor, which has a back-illuminated structure and a 1280x1024 Active Pixel Sensor (APS) matrix
Combining it with a high-sensitivity FTIR spectrometer engine makes for a compact FTIR analyser for food, pharmaceutical and plastic product production lines.
The optical transceiver P16671-01AS achieves fibre-optic communications at a data transmission speed of 1.25Gbps
Tadashi Maruno has worked at the company for 40 years and has held senior roles in the System Division
This will open doors to further research on achieving early detection and pathological elucidation of dementia
The new GH-103A UV LED combines a high 24W/cm2 irradiance with a large window size, a proprietary air-cooling system and an optional integrated N2 purger to offer uniform, high dosage output for demanding printing and curing applications up to feeding speeds of 150m/min.
Mao Nakajima headed up the team behind the hugely respected ORCA®-Quest qCMOS® Camera, which accurately measures the number of photons and performs imaging under extremely low noise conditions.
As Nakajima explained: “Strictly speaking, measurement at the individual photon level has not been possible. With this camera, we succeeded in reducing noise to the utmost limit and accurately counting the number of photons. That is a huge difference from conventional sensors.”
