PHOTONIS USA Apr 5, 2002

Specializes in design, development and manufacture of leading-edge detectors and electro-optics for the transport and identification of ions, electrons, UV Photons and Soft X-Rays.

We hold a number of patents on our innovative technologies which include a wide range of electron multipliers, resistive glass and fast photonic technologies.

Our quality products are used by most analytical instrument manufacturers and scientific researchers and explorers to bring added value and reliability to their specialized instrumentation. Our products add significant contributions to physics and space research, drug discovery, proteomic technologies, imaging and communications through our dedication
to continual technology improvements.

PHOTONIS is a registered ISO 9001-2008 facility, dedicated to developing cost-effective solutions to challenging detection problems. Our extensive technical staff includes a number of PhDs and experienced engineers who combine innate curiosity with practical application for the most innovative detection solutions on the market. Our ability to design custom prototypes and develop them into full-scale production is unsurpassed in the detector and sensor industry.

In 2010, two of our products were finalists for a Prism Award for Photonics Innovation, with our Optical Communications Receiver module taking the top award. This is an industry-wide testament to our continued commitment to develop high-quality optics which solve a unique problem for our customers

Products from this company

  1.   Hybrid Photo Diodes Aug 4, 2011

    PHOTONIS offers two types of photon counters: Multi-MCP Image Intensifiers and Hybrid Photo Diodes. PHOTONIS Hybrid Photo Diodes are being used in CERN and in atmoshpheric research applications.

  2.   PLANACON Photon Detector Aug 4, 2011

    The PHOTONIS PLANACON photon detector provides a large active area within a unique square shape, allowing for superior large area imaging for tiled detector applications.

  3. ELECTROGEN Electron Generator Arrays Mar 11, 2011

    An ELECTROGEN™ Electron Generator Array (EGA) is a “cold” electron source providing a large dense electron flux and requiring zero warm-up time.

  4. Stripline Microchannel Plates Mar 11, 2011

    Stripline microchannel plates allow the capture of sequential images of charged particles at very high speeds useful for documenting high-speed energy events by enabling nano-second gating.
