We will be exhibiting a wide variety of our systems, solutions, technologies, and products – both home-grown and from the companies we represent based in the USA, Asia and Europe.
The four Quantum Technology Hubs led by the universities of Oxford, York, Glasgow and Birmingham. They are focussed on:
- Quantum computing
- Quantum secure communications
- Quantum-enhanced imaging
- Quantum-enabled sensing
The conference will discuss the progress, strategy and technical challenges for all these sectors, and will bring together industry, academics, and government with the aim of stimulating new projects and standardising more mature technologies. Contact us for more information.

Laser Servo gets positive feedback from users
Elliot Scientific has had commendations from laser scientists around the UK after trials with the D2-125 laser servo from Vescent Photonics.
Designed for low-noise servo control of lasers and other experimental systems, the reconfigurable servo is equipped with a PI2D loop filter (with two-stage integral feedback) that provides tight locking to cavities and atomic/molecular transitions.
The D2-125 provides full control over the loop-filter parameters, enabling servo-loop optimisation for a wide variety of systems such as acousto and electro-optic actuators, voice coils, piezo actuators, and so on.
Auto relocking is available for the D2-125 Laser Servo as an option. Lock Guard™ detects when the servo loop filter has gone out of lock and automatically recaptures it. Lock Guard™ control parameters are all user adjustable for maximum flexibility and optimal performance.
Key research areas for Vescent products are:
- Magneto-Optical Traps (MOT) for laser-cooling of atoms
- Coherent atom sources
- Sensors for gravitometry and magnetometry
- Focused ion beams
- Ultrasensitive trace-isotope analysis
- Quantum computing and cryptography
For more information about Vescent Photonics, their electro-optic, waveguide, and laser technology products, please contact us.

Firefly-IR Scanner from M Squared Lasers goes live at LWoP
A new portable, tripod-mounted Firefly-IR with integrated real-time infrared imaging scanner — the Firefly-IR-SC — will be launched by M Squared Lasers at Laser World of Photonics next week.
The system is designed to bring a new and unique blend of performance capabilities to a variety of remote sensing and remote imaging applications such as:
- Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detection
- Atmospheric pollutant monitoring
- Hazardous/fugitive gas emission tracking [Video]
The system is based on M Squared Lasers’ Firefly-IR widely tunable, high repetition rate pulsed MWIR/NIR laser source. With class-leading peak and average power and wavelength coverage, it enables users to probe a wider range of molecules with a single instrument, and to image in real time and at improved standoff detection distances and/or to achieve higher signal to noise.
The unit is supplied ready to use straight out of the box. M Squared is also keen to work with Elliot Scientific customers in the UK and Nordic countries to help tailor and optimise the Firefly-IR-SC’s highly flexible system modules (laser, scanner and software) for their particular remote sensing application. Extending the system to LWIR and narrower linewidths, for example, is already under development.
For more information, please contact us.
