Hamamatsu Photonics have developed a high power QCL module that delivers an average output power of 2 watts at a wavelength of 8.6 micrometers (1 micrometer or μm is one-millionth of a meter). This high power QCL module was created by applying our unique beam combining technology, with quantum cascade lasers (QCL)*1 , developed based […]

Hamamatsu Photonics has developed a new semiconductor failure analysis system called the “PHEMOS-X C15765-01” that in just a single unit utilizes visible to near-infrared light to analyze semiconductor defects. What makes this possible is a newly mounted multi-wavelength laser scanner that applies our unique in-house optical design technology. Efficiently utilizing multi-wavelength light allows high sensitivity […]

Here at Hamamatsu Photonics we have developed a new “Immunochromato Reader C10066-60” that gives precise readouts of fluorescence in immunochromatographic reagents. Its measurement sensitivity has been boosted more than 10 times higher than currently available products by applying our own advanced signal processing technology and optical design technology. This new immunochromato reader (lateral flow reader) […]

By reviewing all materials starting from scratch and applying an ALD* (atomic layer deposition) technique, we succeeded in creating ALD-MCPs (microchannel plates) that ensure low noise and high signal multiplication (gain) without using materials containing lead. Eliminating lead is great step forward because its use is restricted in the RoHS directive issued by the European […]

Touchless operation of machinery for hygiene management, measurement tools for ensuring social distance and labour-saving autonomous robots are becoming more common in everyday life. Today, distance sensors are playing an increasingly important role as a key enabling component in the development of such technologies. Distance Image sensors measure the distance to an object per pixel, […]

Infrared spectroscopy is a versatile tool for numerous tasks such as; process analysis, sorting, healthcare and food inspection. Since infrared light penetrates into materials, the composition of the material itself is observed instead of measuring only the surface. This is possible due to the fact that molecular bindings are always in a state of oscillation. […]
