Silicon avalanche photodiodes for low-level light detection
Marktech Optoelectronics has announced the availability of its standard and custom Silicon avalanche photodiodes (Si APD’s), in quantities from prototype to OEM volumes.
Digital microscope provides real time depth
It has been announced that Roxel UK, a designer and manufacturer of solid rocket propulsion systems for land, sea and air defence systems, has acquired a VHX Series Digital Microscope from KEYENCE, to assist with rigorous testing.
DNA sequencer uses naturally occurring light for precise positioning
Genomics advances are changing the world. By mapping the DNA of living organisms human and animal health can be improved, diseases eradicated and crop plants strengthened to increase their yield. It is a relatively young science, largely based on Francis Crick and James Watson’s discovery of the DNA double helix in 1953 and still has a great deal of potential for further advancement.
Harnessing photonics to develop faster internet networks
A group of EU-funded researchers are incorporating VCSEL laser sources with silicon photonics to develop long wavelength, high capacity communications for the very first time, paving the way for light-speed metropolitan connectivity, and powering new ‘smart’ services like future gaming and on-demand TV.

LED efficiency to improve lighting quality
It has been announced that Ability International has selected LEDVANCE Damp Proof LED luminaires to retrofit its entire warehouse, in a project to improve the working environment and reduce energy and maintenance costs. The UK company specialises in providing working at height solutions, custom built to client’s specifications and requirements.
First OTA beam hopping test successfully concluded
Current satellite communication systems use static beams, with little or no options of adjusting beam capacity to a varying demand. Beam hopping, based on the DVB-S2X broadcasting standard, allows redirecting capacity between beams, making satellite systems more flexible and efficient. Working with WORK Microwave and Eutelsat, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has successfully demonstrated beam hopping in an over-the-air test f...
Follow the journey to clean up the Pacific
It has been announced that Siqura’s marine dome camera will assist The Ocean Cleanup foundation in its work in the Pacific Ocean starting mid-2018. The Ocean Cleanup decided to choose Siqura’s camera after a competitive selection process. Siqura is sponsoring their valuable work on this project by providing the technology at a discounted price.
