In this episode: Microcomb chips transform atomic clocks, the latest photonics business news, and black germanium boosts infrared photodiode responsivity.
An international team of researchers is working to enhance atomic clocks via optics. They’ve developed a system that incorporates microcomb chips and chip-based integrated photonics technology for a smaller setup and more accurate time indications and navigation.
It’s been 100 years since the inception of quantum mechanics, and organizations worldwide are marking the occasion with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. In the business sector, Luxinar has named a new managing director. And a new acquisition is helping Leica Microsystems advance its work for a variety of biomedical applications.
Black germanium infrared photodiodes, developed by researchers in Finland, can now detect infrared radiation quicker and more accurately than existing high-performance sensors.
