optical frequency synthesis, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and quantum optics. Rohde & Schwarz will present the R&S FSPN phase noise analyzer in a demo that measures phase noise for ultra-stable microwave systems. The phase noise sensitivity of the R&S FSPN requires a hundred times fewer correlations relative to comparative solutions. The result is a high measurement speed, ideal for efficient phase noise analysis both in R&D and production. The R&S FSWP – a signal and spectrum analyzer and phase noise analyzer in a single box – is another powerful instrument for characterizing laser systems. With a frequency range of up to 50 GHz and a signal analysis bandwidth of up to 8 GHz, the R&S FSWP is ideal for testing radar applications and when developing and manufacturing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs and VCOs. Oscilloscopes are versatile electronic test instruments extensively used in photonics for signal analysis, waveform visualization and measurements in the time domain. At the LASER World of PHOTONICS, Rohde & Schwarz will present oscilloscopes in joint demo setups with Zurich Instruments. A quantum sensing demo features the new R&S MXO4, the world’s first oscilloscope with an update rate above 4.5 million waveforms per second and the fastest, most accurate spectrum analysis in its class. The R&S RTO6 oscilloscope is presented with the Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS) from Zurich Instruments. The QCCS is the first commercial device designed to control more than 100 superconducting and spin qubits. LabOne Q, the QCCS control software, provides a full measurement framework for quantum computing and facilitates integration into higher-level software. The R&S RTO6 is a sophisticated test solution for frequency, protocol and logic analysis. It features a large 15.6-inch touchscreen, excellent signal fidelity and deep responsive memory. Zurich Instruments will also demonstrate DC lock-in detection for up to 8.5 GHz with their lock-in amplifiers. Lock-in amplifiers are essential to research laboratories for optics, photonics, scanning probe microscopy and quantum technologies. The instruments can extract very small signals buried in noise, extending the reach of experimental setups. Christian Dille, Global Market Segment Manager for Research and Universities at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “The future of photonics is heading toward exciting frontiers, with advancements in quantum photonics, integrated photonics and biophotonics. We at Rohde & Schwarz and Zurich Instruments have invested in cutting-edge solutions

Melexis ToF sensor supports functional safety applications Melexis strengthens its position in time-of-flight (ToF) technology, through further product range expansion. The newly announced MLX75027RTI allows the functional safety requirements of automotive and industrial customers to be met. The MLX75027RTI VGA resolution ToF sensor, ASIL capable, is aimed at inclusion in safety critical systems where ASIL or SIL certification is required. It has physical 307kpixel spatial resolution. Key use cases for this sensor are dynamic airbag suppression (so that airbags are not deployed unnecessarily), driver attention monitoring and close-range exterior LiDAR. It can also be employed to provide safety perimeters for industrial cameras, for supporting the control of robots’ movements and for enabling more advanced machine vision. Pivotal to the MLX75027RTI is a back-side illuminated (BSI) imaging technology. It combines Melexis automotive expertise with Sony’s proprietary DepthSense® ToF pixel. The MLX75027RTI delivers an exceptional 135 depth frames per second. This sensor package is significantly smaller than our current generation device, resulting in 50% reduction in size. Consequently, more compact imaging systems can be developed. Optimization of the chief ray angle
