    Photonis Expands Market-Leading Mass Spectrometry Detection Technology

    Visit Photonis at booth #407 during the 71st ASMS Conference

    Photonis has announced that the company will be exhibiting at the 71st American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, taking place June 4 – June 8, 2023, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX.

    ASMS

    Photonis can be found at booth 407 in the exhibitor hall. Attendees are encouraged to meet and speak to the company’s diverse team of technical experts and learn more about how their industry-leading MS Detection Technology will benefit new applications in Mass Spectrometry due to unprecedented performance levels.

    At this occasion, Photonis, the leaders in Time-of-Flight (TOF) detection technologies, will showcase their latest advancements in TOF detection with additions to their existing detector platforms – the APTOF and BPTOF Series.

    Photonis presents the APTOF A300, a capacitively-coupled, compact assembly detector designed for small footprint and/or benchtop TOF systems. The APTOF A300 integral AC-coupled high voltage isolation prevents damage to the digitizer and provides MS Instrument manufacturers with significant cost savings.

    In parallel, the company will introduce the BPTOF B380, an optically coupled Bi-Polar TOF detector with never-before-seen lifetime benefits, based on a patented technology from Photonis.

    Ulrich Laupper, President and General Manager of Photonis’ Ultimate Detection Business Unit: “We are excited to introduce the next generation of Time-of-Flight detection technology at this year’s ASMS Conference. Photonis is committed to extensive investments into Research and Development activities in order to provide our industry partners market-leading detector solutions. The APTOF A300 and BPTOF B380 provide mass spectrometry instrument manufacturers an unmatched cost-of-ownership value proposition. In addition, it also enables them to offer new advanced applications to their end users. We are very proud to be part of the ASMS community and contribute to advance science and quality of life with our technologies.”

    Photonis’ Time-of-Flight detectors support some of the world’s most sensitive TOF-MS applications. Their patented technologies and distinct Microchannel Plates ensure optimum temporal resolution, excellent mass sensitivity, unmatched lifetime and superb dynamic range; enabling mass spectrometers to be optimized with the best detector on the market, no matter the analysis requirements. Photonis specializes in working in partnership with TOF-MS Instrument designers to understand the requirements needed in each instrument to provide the longest-lasting, accurate detectors specifically designed for each instrument.

  • Photonis Supplies Key Instrumentation for Detecting Successful Laser Fusion Ignition

    Photonis Supplies Key Instrumentation for Detecting Successful Laser Fusion Ignition

    • Photonis, a leading electro-optic manufacturer, has supplied key instrumentation that has aided in the achievement of laser fusion ignition.

    Photonis, a leading electro-optic manufacturer, has supplied key instrumentation that has aided in the achievement of laser fusion ignition. On December 13th, 2022, The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced the first-ever, controlled laser fusion reaction to produce scientific energy breakeven, achieved at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) National Ignition Facility (NIF). This major scientific breakthrough, decades in the making, provides unprecedented capability to support NIF’s national security mission and invaluable insights into the prospects of clean fusion energy. This monumental achievement is the first step to a possible future of a net-zero carbon footprint.

    Photonis & LLNL

    Successful detection of the reaction was made possible with key instrumentation supplied by Photonis. The instruments: Stripline Microchannel Plates (SL-MCPs) and Streak Tubes, were integrated into various diagnostic systems installed within the fusion reactor to detect both x-rays and visible light that were emitted from the reaction. The detection of these signals contributes to determining the resulting energy yield.

    Stripline MCPs used in the Diagnostic System are equipped with electrode strips to allow the propagation of high frequency electrical fields along the strips. The electrode strips provide the ability to sequentially turn on each microchannel as fast as the electrical charge can permeate the surface, producing high speed sequential images.

    Streak Tubes are unique devices for capturing and measuring ultra-fast light phenomena. Photonis Streak tubes can be applied in streak, framing, or synchroscan-modes, with a wide range of available photocathodes for detection from low energy X-ray to near infrared. The high sensitivity, low-noise photocathodes provide high uniformity, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and a high shutter ratio, while bilamellar electro-optics support (sub) pico-second temporal and extremely high spatial resolution. These characteristics are ideal for capturing low-level light signals such as the ones emitted by the fusion reaction.

    Photonis is proud to be part of this exciting achievement. With its high level of expertise, Photonis’ engineers will continue to contribute to overcoming the limits of science and work towards getting tomorrow’s clean fusion energy running!
