Photonics West Blends Industry, Innovation, Learning
It’s an annual must-attend event in the photonics industry, and one that for many, truly kicks off the new year. It’s Photonics West, and for more than two decades it has been a symbol of the optimism and excitement for the potential of photonics and light-based technologies.
Each year, researchers, academia and companies from around the world travel to San Francisco’s Moscone Center — this year from January 31 to February 2 — to discuss their work and research, present educational workshops and courses, and showcase innovative products and services.

Single Photon Counting Camera
From: PHOTONIS Technologies
PHOTONIS’ Imaging Photon Camera offers a unique set of capabilities to support fast imaging techniques under light-starved conditions: - Single photon counting with micrometer and picosecond resolutions - Wide field of view (18mm) - High counting rate (5MHz) Unlike digital sensor-based cameras, the Imaging Photon Camera has no read noise and easily supports fast wide-field TCSPC applications in extreme low light.

TA-FHG Pro Tunable Laser
From: TOPTICA Photonics Inc.
The TA-FHG pro is a tunable, diode-based laser source in the deep UV spectral range. The system consists of an external cavity diode laser, a high power semiconductor amplifier (TA), and two cascaded second harmonic generation stages (SHG pro). Alternatively, it can be equipped with a fiber amplifier (FA) or Raman fiber amplifier (RFA). It provides tunable laser radiation for spectroscopy, laser cooling, holography and interferometry.

NeoSpectra FT-NIR Spectral Sensor
From: Si-Ware Systems Inc.
NeoSpectra sensors, from Si-Ware Systems, are low cost, miniaturized, Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectral sensors that are based on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. The sensors operate in the NIR with a wide spectral range from 1,100nm to 2,500nm. The sensors are easily integrated into value added systems in a diverse range of industries including agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, polymers, and biotechnology.

PreciseMode™ DBR Laser
From: Photodigm Inc.
Photodigm DBR lasers are available with internal beam correction and control of the thermal mode hops. A virtual microlens corrects astigmatism and reduces fast axis divergence, resulting in a user-friendly beam that can be focused/collimated as needed with a single aspherical lens. The device locks to a selected cavity mode in stable operation without hops over an extended range of current tuning. Available in a Mercury™ or TO-8 package.
