Imaging products manufacturer e2v of Chelmsford, UK, will provide Japan’s SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Laser (SACLA), an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), with imaging sensors that will allow scientists to “see” the atomic structure of proteins and other nanoscale structures. A joint project of RIKEN, Japan’s natural sciences research institute, and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute, the XFEL has been designated a technology of national importance to Japan. The imaging sensors will form part of SACLA’s next generation of focal plane imaging sensors. Under the contract, e2v will provide 48 Phase 1 sensors and will custom-design Phase 3 devices.

The shortest wavelengths of the infrared region, nominally 0.75 to 3 µm.
quantum efficiency
Quantum efficiency (QE) is a measure of the effectiveness with which a device or system, typically in the context of photonics or electronics, converts incoming photons (light) into a useful output signal or response. It is expressed as a ratio or percentage and quantifies the number of electrons or charge carriers generated in response to the incident photons. In other words, quantum efficiency provides a measure of how well a device can capture and utilize photons to produce an electric...
