PHOTON ETC. WINS THE PARTNERSHIP PRIZE AT THE INNOVATION AWARD 2019

Photon etc.'s collaboration with Professor Simon Thibault from the COPL at Université Laval was awarded the Partnership prize during the ADRIQ-RCTI Innovation Awards. Together, we perfected the development of the ZephIR cameras and we also created a unique industrial telecentric objective lens, the HypIRias. By using exotic glasses, we obtain a high resolution while maximizing the throughput within the 1-2.9 µm spectral band.

WEBINAR

May 30th, 10:00 ET

On May 30th, was taking place Photon etc.'s webinar on the Hyperspectral Characterization of Next Generation Solar Cells and LEDs. Two of our top scientists gave a live demonstration of our IMA™ on a perovskite crystal. If you want more information about the webinar, email us at info@photonetc.com.

SÉBASTIEN BLAIS-OUELLETTE, PHOTON ETC’S PRESIDENT AND CEO IS NOW VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ‘‘CENTRE D’ENTREPRENARIAT POLY-UDEM’’

MARC VERHAEGEN, PHOTON ETC’S CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER HAS BEEN ELECTED ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PRIMA QUÉBEC.

Prima Québec has made it its objective to strengthen collaborative innovation in the field of advanced materials in Quebec. You can find more information on PRIMA Québec here.

PHOTON ETC. IS NOW PART OF SIMON THIBAULT’S RESEARCH CHAIR

Photon etc. is proud to announce that it is now part of Simon Thibault's research chair in Optical Design. Professor Thibault and his team from the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics and Optics at Université Laval will help Photon etc. develop new optical systems in the near infrared range for which there is a growing demand in industrial vision system and biomedical research.

More details on the research chair are available on the NSERC website.

A HOT-CARRIER ASSISTED InAs/AlGaAs QUANTUM-DOT INTERMEDIATE-BAND SOLAR CELL

Really interesting article from IPVF and Tokyo University where absolute intensity calibrated PL hyperspectral images acquired with IMA were used to "investigate the balance of photons in the QD-IBSC [intermediate-band assisted hot-carrier solar cell] system following the emission from different positions of the excited sample"

A HIGHLY EMISSIVE SURFACE LAYER IN MIXED-HALIDE MULTICATION PEROVSKITE

Really interesting work from Prof Stranks' research group from Cambridge University. In this paper, the changes in photoluminescence and photoconductance of solution-processed triple-cation mixed-halide perovskite films are studied under solar-equivalent illumination. See how the PL emission maps obtained with Photon etc's hyperspectral microscope is used to provide insight on spatial heterogeneities.

AN OPTICAL NANOREPORTER OF ENDOLYSOSOMAL LIPID ACCUMULATION REVEALS ENDURING EFFECTS OF DIET ON HEPATIC MACROPHAGES IN VIVO

Dr. Dan Heller’s research led to a very interesting discovery. Using SWCNT-based optical reporter and our IR VIVO™ imager, his group found that elevated lipid quantities in hepatic macrophages - the liver - caused by a high-fat diet persist long after reverting to a normal diet. In other words, Morgan Spurlock (the Super Size Me guy) might have affected his health irreversibly for his movie.

ELECTROSTATIC DEPOSITION OF LARGE-SURFACE GRAPHENE

The department of electrical engineering from ÉTS used RIMA to map the G’ band over a wide area for their new publication. Their paper presents a method for electrostatic deposition of graphene over a large area using controlled electrostatic exfoliation from a Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) block.
