Company news
Hamamatsu Photonics announces U.S. FDA clearance for the NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner system for surgical pathology diagnostics
Product highlights
T-SMILS laser heating system
L15570 series

The T-SMILS laser heating system has a unique temperature monitoring/feedback function. Users can set and process at a target temperature, allowing consistent plastic welding, sintering, and metal heating regardless of subject impurities and solving a long-standing challenge in laser processing.
NanoZoomer S360MD
Slide scanner system
C13220-01MD

The new NanoZoomer S360MD Slide scanner system is an automated digital slide creation, viewing, and management system. This system is intended for in vitro diagnostic use as an aid to the pathologist to review and interpret digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded ("FFPE") tissue.

Ask an engineer
Klea Dhimitri is an applications engineer out of Hamamatsu’s office in Bridgewater, NJ, where she focuses on product offerings for emerging quantum technology applications that utilize photonics. Her expertise includes photodetectors such as photomultiplier tubes (PMT), SPPC (SPAD), MPPC (SiPM), photodiodes, and avalanche photodiodes (APD), as well as their role in quantum applications. Klea leads Hamamatsu's efforts in bringing our R&D from Japan together with researchers and early adopters in North America to provide a range of photonic solutions, from detectors to light modulators to cameras, for the current and future quantum landscape. She also manages Hamamatsu Corporation’s engagement and activities in North American quantum hubs like Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE). In her free time, she enjoys endurance-based sports such as running and biking and is currently training to run her first marathon in the fall. 
Part 2: Photonics in quantum computing and communication

Q: What role does photonics play in a trapped ion quantum computer?

A: Ions operate in an ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic environment inside traps like Penning traps or Paul traps, where electric fields create potentials that confine ions. Below are the photonic components you can typically find in an ion-trapped setup…Read more
