Hamamatsu Photonics, a producer of photodetectors and imagers, has announced that it has licensed certain Arradiance intellectual property for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) nanofilms. This technology, the subject of 11 issued US patents and several pending US and worldwide patents, is foundational for next-generation photomultiplier tubes (PMT) in use at several high-energy physics installations worldwide.
Photomultiplier tubes are being put to use as high-speed, high-sensitivity optical sensors in an increasingly broad spectrum of applications ranging from medical equipment to industrial fields.
Hamamatsu Photonics says it provides scientists with pioneering light-sensitive products, not only in the detection of faint light, ultra-high speed phenomena and other events, but also in special applications.
According to information from the company, Hamamatsu has entered into this agreement to gain access to the “significant performance advances” of Arradiance nanofilms over traditional technologies.
