  • Far Infrared Systems

    Sciencetech, Inc.

    Far-Infrared and terahertz (THz) radiation is the spectral region at the long wavelength end of the infrared and the short end of the microwave region, also known as the sub-millimeter wavelength spectral region. Recently, there has been an explosion of interest in THz applications as the radiation generated can penetrate various materials. THz light is commonly used in materials science, security, pharmaceutical com- pound analysis, biomedical imaging, superconducting materials, astronomy, and particle physics research.

  • Electron Multiplication (EM) Standard Image Sensors

    Teledyne e2v

    EM (Electron Multiplication) is a technology that uses on-chip gain in the charge domain to effectively eliminate read noise from an image sensor. This enables advanced ultra-low light applications that require extreme sensitivity at fast frame rates. Examples include life science applications such as single molecule detection, super resolution microscopy and spinning disk confocal microscopy along with physical science applications such as nanotechnology imaging, Bose Einstein condensates and soft X-ray spectroscopy, and astronomy applications such as adaptive optics and lucky imaging. The inclusion of an additional conventional output allows further flexibility for applications such as true 24 hour surveillance.

  • Low-Noise DC Bias

    Pulse Instruments

    Imaging devices, such as CCDs, IR FPAs, and CMOS image sensors, require DC bias with very low electrical noise to prevent contamination of the image. Image quality can also be enhanced by carefully tuning each bias voltage to extract the maximum signal/noise ratio out of an array. Pulse Instruments has decades of experience providing DC bias supplies with the flexibility required tocharacterize and test a variety of devices while maintaining the noise immunity required for satellite and astronomy applications.

  • Low Noise Cryogenic Amplifiers

    Precision Milimeter Wave

    These amplifiers allow methods of communication with distant spacecraft or probe the history and composition of the universe through radio astronomy. It is also used to study basic phenomena through low-temperature physics research as we have seen with the growth in quantum computing. These devices can achieve noise performance that push beyond the limits of classical physics into the quantum realm. Cryogenics LNA’s find use from low frequencies through several hundreds of gigahertz fo ruse in a variety of technologies. Without cryogenic low noise amplifiers, entire branches of experimental science simply would not exist.View more Low Noise Cryogenic Microwave Amplifiers

  • Frequency Multiplier

    SMZ - Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG

    R&S®SMZ frequency multipliers combine easy handling and precise output levels in the frequency range from 50 GHz to 170 GHz. They can be used in diverse applications, e.g. in the automotive sector with distance radars, in astronomy with sophisticated telescopes and in radar interferometry for analyzing the earth’s surface.The frequency multipliers are available in the R&S®SMZ75 (from 50 GHz to 75 GHz), R&S®SMZ90 (from 60 GHz to 90 GHz), R&S®SMZ110 (from 75 GHz to 110 GHz) and R&S®SMZ170 (from 110 GHz to 170 GHz) models. An optional attenuator (available for R&S®SMZ75, R&S®SMZ90 and R&S®SMZ110) can be integrated in the same housing as the frequency multiplier, simplifying handling. The R&S®SMZ can be controlled via USB.
