X-FAB Silicon Foundries has just introduced its latest generation of avalanche photodiode (APD) and single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) devices. Leveraging its proven automotive-qualified 180nm XH018 high-voltage process, X-FAB’s new APDs and SPADs benefit from innovative architectural modifications, with substantial improvements in performance exhibited compared with the company’s earlier devices (which were initially announced back...

Fibres are commonly used for deployment in environments with high levels of electrical interference (EMI). To carry out installation and maintenance measurements requires test instruments that can operate in such environments. TEMPO’s range of test instruments have been engineered for use in areas with such high electrical interference, they have enhanced performance: MIL-STD-461E, Method RS103, tested up to 200V/M.  

The new UltraTEC UTX Series thermoelectric cooler from Laird Thermal Systems delivers precise spot cooling to maintain peak performance of lasers and optoelectronics. Because of its solid-state operation, the UltraTEC UTX Series provides low maintenance and long-life operation.

Widespread use of LED technology for lighting tasks from indicators to headlights has brought forth a need for many mounting possibilities, as described in this Knowledge Centre article offered by Essentra Components. Accessories such as LED spacer mounts, LED light pipe panel mount technologies and LED lens holder options are discussed.

e-con Systems has announced that it is bringing its new SONY STARVIS based 4K Ultra-HD MIPI camera module to the market for smart city, sports vision, quality inspection and factory automation applications.
