PHOTONICS PRODUCTS

Published by Hamamatsu Corp., Hamamatsu News, 2008, Vol. 1, details new products, such as back-thinned CCD image sensors for spectrometers; multipixel photon counters with an active area of 3 × 3 mm; and the RC series miniature spectrometers, which integrate a reflective grating and a CMOS linear image sensor. The 29-page issue of this periodical highlights new photointegrated circuits for laser beam synchronous detection, x-ray time-delay-and-integration cameras for in-line ap-plications requiring high-speed operation and high sensitivity, and ImagEM back-thinned electron-multiplier CCD cameras with gain protection and control. CMOS linear image sensors for industrial measurement applications also are presented.
