Enabling technological breakthroughs with innovative imaging and detection solutions, precise instrumentation is a key requirement to measuring and analyzing complex or unknown physical phenomena. Over the last century, many research projects have aimed at better understanding the infinitely small at imperceptible scale. Whether the application requires ion, electron or photon detection, Photonis has the right … Continue reading
How can two mistrustful parties fairly toss a coin? As it turns out, this problem of weak coin flipping (WCF) is a fundamental cryptographic primitive, where quantum WCF can achieve theoretically perfect information security over modern communication networks. In a recent paper, researchers from Sorbonne Université, the University of Vienna, California Institute of Technology and … Continue reading
ID Quantique (IDQ) announces enhancements to the ID281 series of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs). The best in single-photon detection is getting even better. Improvements to the ID281 series enable you to see individual photons faster and with even greater precision than ever before, bringing you closer to the fabric of reality itself. At the … Continue reading
Non-destructive testing (NDT) covers all the techniques used to analyze something without causing damage. Most NDT methods use visual inspection or x-ray analysis. NDT has been used in a wide variety of fields, such as food, automotive, aerospace, and semiconductors. The goals of NDT include: Controlling product quality on the manufacturing line (machine vision) Checking the … Continue reading
Pulse width is an important parameter of the pulsed laser. The measurement result is an important factor affecting the single pulse energy. At present, biased photoelectric detectors are commonly used in industrial production and scientific research to test the pulse width, convert optical signals into electrical signals, and read the waveforms and related parameters through … Continue reading
