Time-of-Flight Detectors Support Ultra-Fast and Bi-Polar Instruments
Photonis provides a wide range of Time-of-Flight (TOF) detectors to support portable, ultra-fast, and bi-polar instruments. Each of these TOF detectors provides the most accurate sample analysis and includes Photonis’s unique TruFlight MCPs. The TOF’s feature: Superior analysis Precise measurement Ultra-fast and bi-polar solutions Maximize mass resolution Photonis produces two categories of TOF: Advanced Performance TOF Detectors … Continue reading
Stabilizing Ultrafast Electron Microscopy Imaging for Custom Optics
Problem The Zewail Group operating a Quanta FEG 650 interfaced with a custom optical set-up to enable ultrafast electron microscopy imaging. Feeding a laser into a SEM chamber requires positional stability within a few micrometers, so SEM internal air isolation was not in use. Vibration levels present in the environment were significant enough to degrade imaging … Continue reading
ER902 Microlaser from MegaWatt Lasers
The ER902 µLaser from MegaWatt Lasers is a Q-switched, Diode Pumped Solid-State Laser (DPSSL) with Er:glass as the gain element. The laser generates pulses at a wavelength of 1.535 µm with 100 kW peak power and a pulse duration of 4 ns. Typical repetition rate is 10 Hz, but the laser may be operated at … Continue reading
FiberTech Optica Provided Cables to Perseverance Rover
Rafal Pawluczyk of Kitchener was glued to his computer Thursday afternoon watching closely as NASA’s Perseverance rover landed on the planet Mars. Pawluczyk founded and is CEO of FiberTech Optica, which made the cables used on the SuperCam device on the rover that will analyze rocks. “SuperCam is essentially a chemical camera. So it will look at … Continue reading
Webinar: Defining Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector Performance
Webinar Topic: Quantum Sensing When light is detected at single-photon level, how do you measure detector performance? This is even more important when detectors can approach 100% quantum efficiency, which is the case for Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detection (SNSPD). In this webinar, Félix Bussières, VP Research & Technology at ID Quantique, will address the main … Continue reading
