IDQ Introduces PMF-Coupled SNSPDs
Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) coupled Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) bring simplicity and stability for remote operation. For quantum applications where polarization stability in a remote location is critical, ID Quantique (IDQ) introduces PMF coupling options for their ID281 and ID281 Pro SNSPDs. Operation in an Optical Ground Station for Space QKD, in a quantum-enabled … Continue reading
OEM Tech Unveils High-Power Discharge Circuit Module

With up to 4 kW average power and a maximum output voltage of 1300 V, the NBU-1312 is designed to drive two flashlamps in series, making it ideal for Nd:YAG and alexandrite aesthetic lasers. A key feature of this device: Clear … Continue reading
Studying Next-Generation Perovskite-CIGSe Tandem Solar Cells
An imaging system from greateyes was used to study next-generation perovskite-CIGSe tandem solar cells. By capturing photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) images, this system enabled the researchers to visualize defects, track layer performance, and understand degradation processes over an entire year of outdoor testing. This work is helping push the boundaries of high-efficiency, flexible, and … Continue reading
Prisms: Precision Optics for Light Control and Innovation
In the world of optics and photonics, the prism plays a vital role in manipulating and controlling light. By refracting, dispersing, or reflecting beams, prisms enable a wide range of industrial, scientific, and commercial applications. From laser systems to medical imaging and from spectroscopy to architectural lighting, prisms are engineered to deliver precision, clarity, and reliability. Their … Continue reading
LIBS Unlocks New Insights in Urology
A recent publication demonstrated how Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) — using the ARYELLE spectrometer — can advance the clinical understanding of urinary stone composition. By analyzing 122 calcium-based stones and integrating LIBS elemental data with clinical variables, the team achieved remarkable results. LIBS detected key trace elements such as magnesium and strontium in nearly all … Continue reading
