The first of six sextupole chambers for GSI particle accelerator has been successfully installed in a high-performance magnet system. This marks an important step in a cutting-edge project that will have a significant impact in advanced scientific research. The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt operates a worldwide leading accelerator facility for research purposes, to reach a better understanding of the structure and behavior of the world that surrounds us. But what exactly is a sextupole chamber? A sextupole chamber is a specialized vacuum component used in particle accelerators and synchrotrons. It’s designed to house a sextupole magnet, which focuses and stabilizes particle beams by correcting aberrations caused by the non-linear nature of magnetic fields. By stabilizing the beam and enhancing its focus, sextupole chambers play a vital role in enabling groundbreaking discoveries and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in science and technology.   Next up: more chambers to go! We're making steady progress toward completing this exciting project.   #SAESHighVacuum #SextupoleChamber #ParticleAccelerators #Synchrotron #ScientificInnovation DANFYSIK A/S SAES High Vacuum

Last week Dr. Claas Falldorf, head of the group Coherent Optics and Nanophotonics, held a Keynote talk at the #OPAL 2024 conference in Mallorca. The topic of the talk was "Beyond Lenses: Unlocking the potential of digital holography for optical inspection". The key message of the talk was the introduction of a lensless microscope powered by digital holography, eliminating the so-called 'resolution gap' that has long hindered true diffraction limited resolution in single shot digital-holographic microscopy. This achievement transcends the limitations of pixel pitch in holographic micropscopy, thereby unlocking unprecedented clarity and detail in lensless microscopic real-time imaging. It has the potential to redefine the possibilities of optical inspection and pave the way for new light weight and flexible lensless sensor designs, e.g. for wafer level inspection and in the pick and place industry. The talk was very well received and sparked several fruitful discussions. 👏

🔴 Most clicked in March: KT 65  No wonder – after all, the #XYstage is a very versatile product! From transmitting light applications, such as #microscopy, to experimental set-ups in the #laboratory. By the way, KT is a derivation of the German term "Kreuztisch". This stands for XY stage. 65 indicates the beam height in millimeters.  Here are a just a few facts: 👉Travel: 6 mm 👉 Aperture: 32 mm 👉 Load capacity: 200 N 👉 Two fine-thread spindles and scale heads 👉 Material: deformation-resistant aluminium 👉 Surface: black anodized The KT 65 is available in the basic version with fine-thread spindles and with supplementary options: With wobble plate (T-D35), with pin adapter plate (STA) or as a combination of both (STA-T-D35). Like all our components, the KT 65 can be prepared for use in a #vacuum or #cleanroom on request. In the laboratory, the KT 65 – in combination with rail and slide – can be quickly and easily setup for optical laboratory experiments. We also offer a very comprehensive modular system with many other components: Cubes, profiles, optic holders, shutters, filters, sets... and many more. All components are designed for beam heights of 25, 40, 65 or 105 mm. Visit our website owis.eu/products and start creating your setup!  Would you like support?

FEATURED PRODUCT: TarisIR® mini 600 - Size Matters! from InfraTec GmbH Infrarotsensorik und Messtechnik Many people have probably been in this situation before: suddenly the cupboard was 1 cm too high or the washing machine was just a few millimeters too wide. Cramped situations like this are no problem for our latest compact camera. The TarisIR® mini is extremely small, light and at the same time extremely performant. This enables easy integration even in confined installation situations. In addition, it can be combined with various lenses and thus optimally configured for the respective measurement task. Technical Data -Radiometrically calibrated infrared camera -Uncooled microbolometer FPA detector of the latest generation in format (640 × 480) IR pixels -Pixel pitch of only 12 µm -High thermal resolution of 20 mK -Real-time image data with frame rates of up to 50 Hz -Measurements in the long-wave atmospheric window between (8 ... 14) µm -Power supply via PoE (Power over Ethernet) Algorithms specially developed for this detector technology in combination with a very comprehensive and sophisticated calibration process ensure precise results with a measurement accuracy of 2%, even under difficult measurement conditions. TarisIR® mini is designed for uncompromising continuous operation. As the camera measures in the long-wave infrared range, it is ideally suited for monitoring applications in outdoor areas. Thanks to the individual configurability of the TarisIR® mini, it is also predestined for use in OEM solutions as a radiometric IR camera module. It can be easily integrated into machines, systems, and devices for monitoring and measuring tasks in process optimization and quality assurance. The included Software Development Kit (SDK) makes this significantly easier. Is the TarisIR® Mini Suitable for Your Requirements? This compact camera allows you to get started with thermography at an excellent price-performance ratio. #photonics #machinevision

SIG Meeting Structured & Freeform Surfaces 2024 📍 Nottingham, UK Keynote Prof. Gerardo Adesso from The University of Nottingham will be presenting his keynote on Surface metrology and roughness estimation at the quantum limit. "Since the invention of optical imaging devices, such as microscopes and telescopes, there has been a quest to enhance their resolution. A fundamental limitation, known as the Rayleigh limit, is associated with diffraction: conventional optical systems cannot resolve angular separations smaller than the wavelength of the emitted light. In the last decades, a number of techniques for circumventing the diffraction limit in microscopy have been proposed, defining a field called superresolution imaging. However, these approaches are either operational in the near-field, or rely on non-linear probing, which makes them expensive, invasive, and not universally applicable. Very recently, advances in quantum metrology have revealed that these drawbacks can be bypassed and the Rayleigh limit can be beaten by applying a fundamentally different method of detection. Rather than measuring the intensity as a function of the transverse position in the collection plane (as the traditional direct imaging approach), one can measure the correlation of electromagnetic field amplitudes at different transverse positions. In practice, this involves detecting the light emitted by an object in an alternative basis of spatial modes in order to extract further information about the incoming field. In this talk I will present the fundamentals of quantum parameter estimation theory as well as their applications to superresolution imaging and surface metrology. I will present our progress in the quest to design a passive linear optical device based on spatial mode demultiplexing, capable of achieving sub-Rayleigh resolution in the reconstruction of 2D and 3D samples and in principle reaching the ultimate precision limits allowed by quantum mechanics." ~ Prof. Gerardo Adesso Biography: Gerardo Adesso is a Professor of Mathematical Physics and Director of Research in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Nottingham. He received his PhD from the University of Salerno in Italy in 2007. He joined the University of Nottingham as a Lecturer in 2009 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2014 and then to Professor in 2016. He is an expert in the fundamental characterisation and applications of genuine quantum resources to provide operational advantages in quantum technologies such as quantum communication and sensing. A former ERC Grantee, he has authored about 190 peer reviewed publications, including over 50 in Physical Review Letters, and since 2021 he is recognised as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher in Physics. #euspen #keynote #structuredfreeformsurfaces
