TMC's optical tables offer industry-leading performance and rigidity thanks to an all-steel construction and the highest core density and smallest honeycomb cell area on the market. CleanTop optical tops are used in a variety of applications, such as metrology, spectroscopy, photonics research, holography, quantum computing, high energy physics and interferometry. They come in standard sizes and shapes or can be...

TMC's Application Engineer, Dr Brian Keith, explains the importance of vibration isolation for quantum computers in an AZoQuantum interview. TMC's STACIS® Quiet Island What is the basic idea in quantum mechanics that quantum computers use? Quantum computers take advantage of quantum mechanics, an extremely successful fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of very small objects, objects at the...

Apex Technologies external cavity Littman tunable laser sources offer high performance across a wide tuning range, with high output power and high signal-to-noise ratio. Each laser chassis is designed to incorporate between 1 and 4 separate tunable laser options from the T-band to the extended C+L band. With each laser module covering a 110nm mode-hop-free tuning span and narrow linewidth...

Cross-section and plan view specimens from a GeTe-based phase change memory device prepared using the Xe plasma focused ion beam tool (Xe pFIB), followed by concentrated Ar ion beam milling. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) data from the cross-section specimen confirms the removal of Xe pFIB damage after Ar ion beam milling from the marked area (yellow rectangle) in the...

27th March 2024 In this webinar, Y.I.C. Technologies will delve into the concept of decoupling in electronic circuits to mitigate EMI/EMC issues. Decoupling plays a crucial role in minimizing emissions from PCBs and cables, mitigating crosstalk in PCB design, and preventing power integrity issues. They will provide a real-time demonstration using a digital circuit, analysing its response using oscilloscopes, voltage...

For more than 50 years, phase-shifting interferometry has been the technology of choice for high-precision surface form metrology instruments. These interferometers provide fast and reliable measurements of surface form error and transmitted wavefront of optical components, systems, and assemblies. From research environments to a wide range of industrial applications, laser interferometers offer high levels of data traceability for quality assurance and post-production...

High-speed adaptive correction of optics, based on real-time metrology feedback, has benefitted numerous scientific communities for several decades. However, it remains a major technological challenge to extend this concept into the hard x ray regime due to the necessity for active mirrors with single-digit nanometer height errors relative to a range of aspheric forms. We have developed a high-resolution, real-time...

There are two main types of Spectrum Analyser. Both analysers basically display amplitude vs frequency. They generally look at the dominant frequency and its spectral composition, power, distortion, harmonics, bandwidth etc. Swept-Tuned Spectrum Analyser This is the more traditional analyser generally based on the Superheterodyne principle. Modern swept-tuned analysers (superheterodyne analysers, in particular) are precision devices that can make a...

When is an Arbitrary Waveform Generator, NOT an Arbitrary Waveform Generator? When its an Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver!! The Proteus RF Arbitrary Waveform Generator/Transceiver comes in 4 different package styles for you to choose from. Confused? In fact Tabor Electronics has both in the same instrument! Yes, sometimes only the generator side is required. A high frequency Arb with extremely wide...
