SHOW PHOTONEX Focus on UK photonics
Photonex, the UK’s largest event dedicated to photonics and light technologies, will take place on 12 and 13 October in Coventry. Here we outline some of what will be on display
AP Technologies will be exhibiting the latest generation of silicon
photomultipliers (SiPM) from SensL Technologies. SiPMs are used in many low-light applications such as medical imaging, hazard and threat detection, industrial and automotive applications, biophotonics and high energy physics. SensL’s new J-series SiPMs are optimised for high photon detection efficiency and high performance timing through innovative silicon design and packaging. The SiPMs feature an increased photon detection efficiency of 51 per cent peak, improved PDE at UV wavelengths down to 200nm, compact through silicon via an SMT package that facilitates high density 2D arrays, and reduced rise and recovery times.

Hamamatsu Photonics will introduce new and compact products, including its micro spectrometer and MEMS mirrors. The mirrors enable the design of more compact instrumentation and open up exciting new application areas.
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
The Enlighten Meetings, taking place at Photonex in Coventry UK from 12 to 13 October, will feature more than 70 speakers over nine programmes. The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) will run a workshop on 12 October from 9:00 to 11:00 discussing intellectual property (IP) challenges and best practices, with speakers from SMEs, university

technology transfer, IP brokerages, and the investor community. On the afternoon of 12
October, there will be a session on graphene, including a keynote from Ugo Sassi from the University of Cambridge on ‘Room temperature detection of human body radiation using CVD graphene technology’. The 12 October will also have sessions on photonics tutorials and
optical engineering and design. The optical engineering track will discuss the most common software constraints, design issues and manufacturing problems, and software company Zemax will hold a workshop for its user group. Both the nano-spectroscopy and bioimaging conference, and the session on hyperspectral imaging, will take place over the two
days. The nano-spectroscopy and bioimaging track has a keynote presentation from Dr Thomas Dehoux at the French National Centre for Scientific Research about optoacoustic techniques for single cell imaging, while Dr Himar Fabelo, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, will give a keynote about the HELICoiD project. HELICoiD is a framework
The C12880MA micro
spectrometer is an ultra-compact, fingertip-sized spectrometer head, promising wider spectral response and high sensitivity over the UV to visible range. It offers a spectral range of 340- 850nm and a sensitivity two orders of magnitude higher than the original C12666MA micro spectrometer, which won the 2015 Prism Award for detectors and sensors at Photonics West 2015.
Also on display will be the Orca- Flash4.0 V3 scientific CMOS camera. The camera has FPGA processing on board to enable intelligent data reduction, highly refined in-camera, pixel-level calibrations, increased USB3.0 frame rates, purposeful and innovative triggering capabilities and lightsheet read out modes. It handles applications ranging from the acquisition of scientific images to experiments that demand detection, quantification and speed.

Laser Components will be displaying a range of products at the show, including standard and extended InGaAs photodiodes and arrays designed for demanding spectroscopic and radiometric
applications; its APD modules with 450nm to 1,100nm reach through technology; mini high voltage ABC550 series of DC/DC converters for optimum APD performance; a complementary range of pulsed laser diodes offering more than 650W of optical power at 905nm, and pyroelectric detectors that are now manufactured in-house. In addition, there will be laser optics, optical filters, photodiodes, laser diodes and modules, and fibre optics on display. Accessories including laser goggles, large area laser protection, IR converter cards and electronic modules such as low noise lock in amplifiers.

Ocean Optics will be showing its new Flame-NIR spectrometer. Flame- NIR delivers powerful near infrared spectroscopy in a compact, affordable instrument. Costing around 75 per cent less than a traditional NIR system, Flame-NIR pairs a high-
performance uncooled InGaAs array detector with a small optical bench for spectral responses from 950-1,650nm. The spectrometer is ideal for OEM integration as well as lab, industrial and field use in food integrity, biomedical sciences and pharmaceutical applications. Flame-NIR is sensitive, fast and easy to use. It delivers high thermal stability and low unit-to-unit variation without compromising the flexibility and configurability that are the hallmark of modular, miniature spectrometers. The spectrometers come preconfigured or custom configured, with a replaceable slit design that enables users to adjust resolution and throughput on demand. Operation of Flame-NIR is plug-and-play.

Ophir will demonstrate its latest
quality control equipment for lasers. The company’s Pyrocam IV
camera delivers 2D/3D beam profiles that show the detrimental variations
