ophir photonics will be highlighting its 3A-P-THz THz Power/Energy Sensor, designed to measure THz light sources. From very low power to very high power, the sensor measures up to 3W – 30x the power levels of competing products. In addition, it is the only power/energy sensor on the market that is traceable to standard laboratory calibration; it has been calibrated to read THz radiation at the PTB national metrology institute in Germany. The 3A-P-THz measures short pulse or CW lasers in the 0.1 to 10THz wavelength range. The sensor’s p-type absorber provides a larger aperture and fl atter spectral response than most similar devices, maximising performance across the entire spectral range. Optical power can be measured from 60µW to 3W, and energy from 20µJ to 2J. A standard sensor head, the 3A-P-THz, is less expensive
raptor photonics is proud to announce the full release of a high performance and affordable megapixel EMCCD camera: FA285-CL. The Falcon EMCCD camera, model FA285-CL, features a 1kx1k EMCCD sensor that stands out with its extreme sensitivity, high resolution, high speed and excellent quantum effi ciency. The camera is peltier cooled, uses a 16 bit A/D converter and offers a standard CameraLink output. The Falcon camera offers
outstanding performance for low light applications, such as fl uorescence imaging, astronomy,
than traditional systems and is compatible with all Ophir meters and PC interfaces, including the Orion PE, Nova, Nova II, Vega, LaserStar, USBI, Pulsar, and Quasar. Each display features a Smart Connector interface that automatically confi gures and calibrates the display when plugged into one of the company’s measurement heads.

electrophoresis, X-ray and hyperspectral imaging. It comes with a powerful Image Analysis Software (XCAP) and a standard CameraLink frame grabber (EPIX). The Falcon camera is also
fully compatible with the Micro- Manager software. mManager provides a universal, fl exible and free software platform for automated microscopy. Combined with ImageJ, mManager provides a full featured microscope management and image processing package, with quality and ease of use standards equal to commercial software.

laser hazards may exist, hence protecting an unauthorised person from entering the laser area and potentially being injured. Authorised operators use a keypad to allow them to gain access without interrupting the operation of the laser system. Similarly they can exit by use of a ‘push to exit’ button override. LICS06 systems are sold in kit form to enable the user to confi gure the system according to the design of their laser area. They are designed with strict safety principles, and all in accordance with applicable European safety standards required for the use of potentially hazardous laser systems. A fully working model will be on display.

picoQuant will showcase two new picosecond diode lasers at 596nm and 510nm and introduce a new multiparameter seed laser, along with further new products.
The new green diode laser head, with a wavelength around 510nm, is not based on frequency conversion, but directly emitted by the laser diode. The laser can work at any repetition rate up to 40MHz and generate pulses as short as 130ps (FWHM). The other new laser head is the fi rst picosecond pulsed diode laser with a wavelength of 596nm and a variable repetition rate between 10kHz and 40MHz. This laser generates pulses with pulse widths below 120ps (FWHM). The short pulse width and high repetition rates of these two laser heads make them especially suited for time-resolved measurements in the life sciences, enabling fast and precise fl uorescence lifetime measurements.
The multiparameter infrared seed laser is aimed at seeding fi bre amplifi ers for material processing. It can generate variable nanosecond pulse shapes that enable a modulation of seed power.
Finally, PicoQuant will display its new single photon counting module, Tau-SPAD, a detector for timing applications.
