Cees Links was interviewed by Eamon Standing of ipXchange on understanding light and photonics 💡 This interview helps to understand the basics: - What is light? - What is photonics (vs electronics) - What does the photonics industry look like - What is a PIC - What are the typical applications & markets https://lnkd.in/edEJ8cPZ 👍 Like if you think this is insightful (we do) #Photonics #PhotonIC #Laser #IntegratedPhotonics #SuperLightPhotonics 

Did you know? On October 21, 1983, the speed of light got its official number: 299,792.458 km/s – talk about fast! ⚡️ This was a major milestone in photonics, and every year, we take a moment to celebrate how light helps shape a brighter (and safer!) future. At AP Sensing, we are driven by passion and dedicated to using photonic-based technology to solve real-world problems. Whether it’s keeping power cables safe, detecting fires before they spread, or monitoring critical infrastructure, we’re hard at work using advanced photonic technology to make a difference. Our cutting-edge technologies include: 🔹 Linear Heat Detection (LHD) 🔹 Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) 🔹 Distributed Acoustic/Vibration Sensing (DAS/DVS) And we’re not just looking at today – in 2024, we’re focused on bringing in fresh talent, ensuring the next generation continues to push the boundaries of innovation. 🚀 Join us in celebrating the #DayOfPhotonics2024 and in our mission to create a safer, smarter world. #Photonics #Innovation #TalentInPhotonics #FutureOfTech

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

1xN NxM Rackmount Optical Switch 1×N rack-mounted optical switch is a kind of functional device,with the ability of controlling and switching optical route. It can be manually selected from front panel or controlled via RS232 port, Ethernet port and auto-scanned on certain frequency. In optical fiber transmission system, it is used for multi-channel fiber monitoring, multi light source/ detector selection, and optical fiber path protection etc. Besides, it is also used in optical fiber test system for optical fiber and its component test, outdoor cable test and multi-spot optical sensors monitoring system. #xhphotoelectric #opticalswitch #fiber #optics #photonics #communications Read more https://lnkd.in/gRQb7wqc
