🔬 Driving the Future of Photonics with Precision & Speed In today’s photonics landscape, whether it’ s networking, LIDAR, chiplet packaging, or quantum computing, nanoscale optical alignment is crucial for ensuring error-free operation and cost-effective manufacturing. The challenge: achieving a high yield, low losses, and rapid throughput across multiple channels simultaneously. This is where PI’ s Fast Multi-Channel Photonics Alignment (FMPA) solution comes in. With industry-leading active alignment technology and proprietary algorithms, the system ensures the following: ✨ Parallel alignment across array components ⚡ 100x faster performance than traditional serial processes 📈 99 % reduction in alignment costs 🔧 Scalable for fab-class operations Discover how PI is making high-precision alignment scalable and efficient for the next generation of photonics devices!  👇🏻 https://lnkd.in/e6b9PRTB #Photonics #OpticalAlignment #PI #PhysikInstrumente #PrecisionEngineering #QuantumComputing 

A New Era of High-Resolution Imaging   Researchers at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made a significant breakthrough in #imaging #technology, pushing the boundaries of #resolution. Their innovative hyper-sampling imaging (HSI) technique offers a promising solution to overcome the limitations of traditional digital image #sensors.   Current digital image sensors, such as #CCD and #CMOS #chips, have reached their technical limits in pixel resolution. This constraint hinders the ability to capture fine details, particularly in applications like astronomy and remote sensing.   HSI addresses this challenge by leveraging a stable optical wave field to extract information beyond the traditional pixel resolution limit. This technique effectively subdivides pixels, allowing sensors with fewer pixels to deliver images with ultra-high resolution. #HSI #ImagingTechnology #Photonics #Optics #Laser #HighResolutionImaging #RemoteSensing https://lnkd.in/dNJjBexs https://lnkd.in/dJn9hngH Image: The mechanism of hyper-sampling imaging.

Curtain up for our Magnetic Field Sensor! 👩 Our Q.ANTie Katharina will be speaking today on the Tech Transfer Conference Stage at the #HM24 HANNOVER MESSE about  sensing finest magnetic fields and electric currents as well as potential applications - with the paradigm shift for human machine interface as a highlight use case. For the first time, the quantum-based #sensor gives native and intuitive access to biosignals via their magnetic field. For example, it can be used to control prostheses via muscle signals. 🤳🏻💪 Sounds exciting? 🙂 Then come to the Tech Stage, 4:10 to 4:30 p.m., Hall 2, Stand B02: https://lnkd.in/ekpAaY2E See you there!  #HM24  #quantumtechnologies #sensing #photonics

High energy particles called cosmic rays can cause errors in electronics. The ChipIr instrument at ISIS investigates how microchips respond to this cosmic radiation to mitigate these errors. In this article for IFLScience, Alfredo Carpineti spoke to Christopher Frost and Paolo Rech to learn more about cosmic rays, how ChipIr works and why it is important to ensure technology is "cosmic-ray proof"🌌 Read the article or watch the video ➡ https://bit.ly/3zGsObg

Precision navigation that does not rely on GPS (which can be spoofed or jammed in war zones)! That is the promise of recently developed devices that rely on atom interferometry (such as measuring light waves) to determine acceleration and angular velocity. A key component is the silicon photonic modulator, which controls the properties of measured light. Advances in the miniaturization of these devices on silicon photonic chips should help reduce the costs from the current $10,000 per unit. Additional goals are to reduce the size, and power consumption of the devices. Exciting new development in silicon photonic technology!
