Photonis has supplied key instrumentation that has aided in the achievement of laser fusion ignition. On 13 December 2022, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced the first-ever, controlled laser fusion reaction to produce scientific energy breakeven, achieved at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF). … Continue reading
The launch of Flight VGA260 of an Ariane 5 rocket on the 14th of April was a huge success! The Juice Explorer spacecraft aboard the rocket is the first large-class mission in ESA’s Cosmic Vision program. Juice is carrying the most powerful remote sensing, geophysical, and in-situ payload complement ever flown to the outer solar system. … Continue reading

Photonis recently published a paper in the journal Nature Communications showing various types of neutron imaging, using a novel laser-driven neutron source. This article shows the crucial role of Photonis’s neutron-sensitive microchannel plates (MCPs) in this research. MCP-based neutron imagers intrinsically have an excellent time resolution, which makes energy-resolved imaging possible. By fast switching of … Continue reading
Photonis Scientific’s Time of Flight (TOF) detectors support some of the world’s most sensitive Time of Flight-Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-MS) applications. Its patented technologies and distinct MCPs ensure optimum temporal resolution, excellent mass sensitivity, unmatched lifetime and superb dynamic range; enabling mass spectrometers to be optimized with the best detector on the market, no matter the … Continue reading
The Planacon™ square-shaped MCP-PMTs from Photonis have been selected as the photosensors for the Barrel DIRC detector of the PANDA experiment. (PANDA is an acronym of antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt.) PANDA is a large particle physics experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), an accelerator complex under construction in Darmstadt. Figure 1 shows … Continue reading
Thirty years ago on April 24th, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched with the Hubble Telescope on board. In the years since, scientists around the world have uncovered mysteries of the universe through the information Hubble has gathered. When this iconic telescope was launched into outer space, Photonis was on board with its long-lasting, large format … Continue reading
