Read our article in the September 2022 issue of Adhesives & Sealants Industry (ASI) Magazine to learn about the many breakthrough advantages that UV curing systems offer in Electric vehicles (EV) battery manufacturing including reduced process times, higher throughput, lower rejection rates, and environment-friendly benefits. The article also details how UV curing systems are helping to revolutionize lithium-ion battery manufacturing by reducing costs and time-to-market and improving the quality and reliability of the final product.

Read Excelitas’ article for an overview of the latest advances in illumination for fluorescence imaging, from near-UV to near-IR fluorophores. The article also highlights case studies demonstrating the 2021 Microscopy Today Innovation Award-winning X-Cite® NOVEM™ as successful replacements for traditional arc lamps in calcium imaging applications, producing equivalent results with the convenience of LEDs.

Read Excelitas’ article, “Utilizing upper-air UVGI in the fight against COVID-19,” by James Clements, Director of Channel Management, Product Marketing, in Health Europa to learn about the effectiveness of utilizing upper-air disinfection in contagion control, as well as to catch up to speed on the latest advances that are enabling occupant-safe operation in the fight against COVID-19.

Looking to the future, single-photon detection will enable new applications: increasing LiDAR range while ensuring the laser source remains safe for people’s eyes in autonomous vehicles; secure communications, by detecting the single photons used for 1s and 0s in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and by detecting entangled photons and calibrating the single-photon generators needed; in quantum computing, both by detecting the single photons used to generate or interrogate qubits; and many more.

Single-photon detection has become a vital tool in many applications, from single-molecule fluorescence, particle characterization through scattering, and quantum cryptography to astronomy, lidar, and more. The concept appears to be simple in principle—one photon creates one electron in a photodiode or when hitting a metal surface—but how easy is it to detect that single electron?

As the silicon chips that power today’s devices and technologies continue to shrink in size, manufacturing processes increasingly necessitate higher-resolution illumination and imaging, better performance, and strict contamination control.
