Featured products

Over the past fifteen years, we’ve introduced many major technologies at Laser World of Photonics including laser systems for plastic welding, MEMS devices, award-winning micro-spectrometers, and scientific CMOS cameras, to name but a few.

We are continuing this tradition at Laser World of Photonics 2025, so check this page to discover what new technologies and products we have been developing.

LCOS - Spatial light modulators

Our LCOS-SLM (optical phase modulator) is a device that can freely control the phase of the laser beam electrically. The phase of the laser beam can be controlled in two dimensions by a structure in which liquid crystals are sandwiched between a CMOS chip and a transparent electrode deposited on a glass substrate. The digital images output from the PCs are converted to analog signals by a dedicated drive circuit, and voltage is applied to the pixel electrodes on the CMOS chip. This voltage tilts the liquid crystal molecules and changes the refractive index of the liquid crystals, thereby controlling the phase of the light irradiated to each pixel.

Universal streak camera – C16910

The universal streak camera, C16910 series, incorporates the specialized technology and expertise Hamamatsu has acquired over its 40 years of research. This ultra-high-speed detector captures light emission phenomena occurring in extremely short time periods and has an impressive temporal resolution of less than 800 fs. The camera is a general-purpose model capable of measuring various phenomena from single-shot to high repetition, by combining sweep and function expansion units.

We offer a range of photocathodes to match your desired spectral response, and our regular production of streak tubes ensures consistency and reliability. Special requests and custom designs are also available.

FTIR engine C16511-01

The C16511-01 Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) engine is a compact, efficient tool for near-infrared spectral analysis. Featuring a built-in Michelson optical interferometer, it allows for remote real-time measurements via Ethernet, ensuring faster and more reliable data transfer compared to traditional USB communication—ideal for factory automation (FA) applications. The device incorporates advanced components like a semiconductor laser for precise mirror positioning, yielding high-wavelength accuracy in spectrum measurement. Included software offers user-friendly functions for data acquisition and visualization, while open DLL specifications enable users to develop customized measurement programs. This FTIR engine is the perfect solution for continuous monitoring and on-site analysis without the need to transport samples.
