Ophir Optronics introduces the new USBI-4 Smart Head to PC Interface, which enables you to turn your PC or laptop into a full fledged Ophir multi-channel laser power/energy meter.
PicoQuant is now offering a new routing device – the PHR 800 – for up to four detectors in the PicoHarp 300 TCSPC photon counting module.
Jenoptik has released a new laser sensor with large reach, and instant measuring results. The sensor measures the distance to moving and stationary objects at a range up to 3,000m.
Ophir Optronics has introduced the new PE9-F Pyroelectric Detector. It has a maximum pulse width of 0.5µs and measures a maximum pulse rate up to 20kHz.
id Quantique has announced the release of ultra-low noise single photon counting modules for the visible spectral range. A dark count rate of less than 1Hz or 20Hz is offered for 20μm or 50μm diameter devices.
Cedip Infrared Systems has launched the Altair Li system, which employs a high-performance infrared focal plane array camera to provide high-quality thermal images of stress in materials and structures.
Cedip Infrared Systems, in conjunction with its subsidiary Polytech AB, has launched the new Flytherm Airborne Target Signature Analysis system, suitable for warfare and security applications.

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
