Modular Photonics Platform, designed to simplify and accelerate R&D and proof‑of‑concept development. Many research teams face challenges due to the wide range of expertise required—spanning optics, sensors, light sources, electronics, mechanical engineering, and underlying science. The modular platform is intended to reduce this complexity by providing an integrated, flexible solution.

 

Our Solution Engineer, Yuji Iwai, will be demonstrating how the modular design allows users to easily collect data, perform analysis, and quickly swap or optimize components to meet their specific needs. Hamamatsu invites researchers to discuss their proof‑of‑concept challenges and explore how the platform can help bring ideas to life more efficiently.

Featured products:

InGaAs SPAD Module C15720-015GD

InGaAs SPAD module C15720-015GD

Unlock the future of near-infrared detection with our InGaAs SPAD solutions. Engineered for precision all throughout our process, from epitaxial growth to device evaluation, our detectors deliver superior performance and reliability. Featuring a spectral response range from 0.9 to 1.7μm, built-in TEC and additional packaging options such as pigtail assembly, these detectors are ideal for cutting-edge applications such as quantum key distribution (QKD), gas leakage sensing, and industrial LiDAR.

Spectrometer detector PMT module H15441-20

The C16449MA-01 mini-spectrometer combines a compact, USB-powered design with a built-in high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, delivering wide spectral range, high resolution, and customizable performance. Ideal for precise, low-power spectroscopic measurements.

InAsSb photovoltaid detector P16702-011 MN

We have developed a new InAsSb photovoltaic detector with preamp offering high sensitivity to mid-infrared light, up to 11 μm in wavelength. It is an ideal choice for portable gas analyzers, laser monitors, and IR spectrometers.

This series of InGaAs area image sensors offers high speed and high resolution with extended wavelength, making it perfect for hyperspectral imaging and plastic sorting. It features a hybrid structure, integrating a CMOS readout circuit with InGaAs photodiodes. Thanks to its newly designed ROIC and the implementation of a 3-stage thermoelectric cooling system, it can achieve a higher dynamic range and lower noise levels.
