To meet the increasing demand, Hamamatsu Photonics has completed a new building for the production of microfocus X-ray sources (MFX) and other electron tube products.
Together with Hamamatsu, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen has set up an application lab for advanced laser material processing with ultrashort pulsed (USP) laser radiation.
A Raman mini-spectrometer module is designed to detect Raman-active molecules with greater accuracy, higher selectivity and in a broader wavelength range than other mini-spectrometers. This is to be made possible by more powerful laser optics and an improved detection unit.
As a leading component manufacturer, Hamamatsu is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages offered by various systems, and the main differences will be explained in the new issue of PhotonicsViews, 1/2022.
In fiscal 2021, Hamamatsu benefited simultaneously from the recovering economy and the continued high demand for Coronatest equipment. As a result, sales increased by over 20 percent and operating profit by almost 60 percent.
