Evolving excellence: Conference on lasers and electro-optics

Comprehensive, peer-reviewed technical sessions and market-focused programming make CLEO the world’s premier international forum for learning about innovative advances, research, and technologies in the laser science industry. From quantum computing to advanced imaging systems used in the search for new life and planets, CLEO brings together all aspects of electro-optic technologies — and Hamamatsu is proud to be part of that conversation.

 

Visit Hamamatsu at booth 627 to explore a selection of our products, including image sensors, cameras, PMTs, MPPCs, and light sources. Our technologies are at the core of cutting-edge applications such as spectroscopy, multiphoton imaging, and quantum computing, including trapped ions and neutral atoms.

 

With decades of expertise in photonics and a commitment to innovation, Hamamatsu continues to support the science that drives discovery — from fundamental research to real-world solutions.

Featured products:

ORCA Quest 2

The ORCA-Quest 2, the latest evolution in our qCMOS camera line, builds upon the excellence of its predecessor with enhanced performance. It features faster readout speeds in ultra-low-noise scan mode and increased sensitivity in the ultraviolet spectrum—ideal for detecting UV fluorescence from trapped ions. These advancements make the ORCA-Quest 2 a premier imaging solution for high-energy physics, astronomy, and quantum computing, capturing the faintest details with unmatched precision.

LCOS-SLM (optical phase modulator)

The LCOS-SLM is a reflective spatial light modulator that freely controls the phase of light with a liquid crystal. Controlling the phase (wavefront) with LCOS-SLM enables researchers to generate a highly efficient optical microtrap array to confine neutral atoms. 

ORCA-Fire scientific camera

Since the early development of trapped-ion quantum computers in the 1990s, our photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been a trusted solution for detecting faint ion fluorescence. The H10682 photon counting head is the gold standard for high-sensitivity, low-noise photon counting of Yb trapped ion fluorescence, offering both fiber-coupled and free-space options for seamless integration into quantum applications.

The fiber coupled SPAD module C16534-050GD is compact and suitable for integration in quantum devices and systems. Customizations include but not limited to gain adjustments and higher overvoltage which results in higher PDE and higher dark count rate (DCR) as a tradeoff.
