The SIB332 sensor interface board provides the electrical and mechanical connectivity between a Hamamatsu S8550 4 x 8 element APD array and a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel data acquisition system.

The SIB332 sensor interface board provides the electrical and mechanical connectivity between a Hamamatsu S8550 series 4 x 8 element APD array and a Vertilon PhotoniQ multi-channel DAQ system. The S8550 mounts directly to the SIB332 where electrical connections to the 32 APD anodes are routed to a micro-coaxial cable assembly that connects the APD outputs to the PhotoniQ. The negative high voltage bias to the APD array is made through a separate dedicated connector that connects to the high voltage output from the PhotoniQ. Also available on the SIB332 are two outputs that are used in conjunction with the APD array’s common cathode current signal — an amplified version of the signal and a pulse discriminator trigger output.

Hamamatsu Photonics 20 Milliwatt Single Mode CW Laser Diode

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a brand new 20mW CW laser diode, the LC0293, with a peak emission wavelength of 763nm and is a lateral single mode type, with an emission area of just 1µm x 5µm.

Designed specifically for use in oxygen monitoring applications, the LC0293 uses a distributed feedback (DFB) structure, which allows for a very narrow line width; a maximum spectral radiation half bandwidth of just 1 picometer. The new diode also features very long lifetime characteristics, and is available in a 9mm CD package. This new single mode laser diode will be of interest for any application where a reliable light source for oxygen monitoring is required.

Hamamatsu also offer a range of laser bar devices, supplied either as bare diodes, or provided as a module, with CW powers up to 60 Watts per bar and a choice of water cooling, peltier cooling or Hamamatsu’s patented funryu cooling technology.

Hamamatsu Photonics 50mW CW Single Chip Laser

Hamamatsu Photonics introduce a brand new 50mW CW single chip laser diode, the L11336. This new diode is a lateral single mode type, with an emitting area of 5µm and a centre wavelength of 1205nm.

This new laser diode adds to Hamamatsu’s increasing range of single chip laser diodes, available at wavelengths from 685nm to 1205nm. The L11336 features very long lifetime characteristics, and is available in 5.6mm and 9mm diameter CD packages, as well as side-out and head-out OHS packages.

Hamamatsu also offer a range of laser bar devices, supplied either as bare diodes, or provided as a module, with CW powers up to 60 Watts per bar and a choice of water cooling, peltier cooling or Hamamatsu’s patented funryu cooling technology. Stacked bar arrays (with up to several Kilowatts output power), fibre-optic coupling and a choice of other wavelength laser diodes are all available to specific customer request.
