The Research Foundation for Opto-Science and Technology hosted the 1st International Symposium on Advanced Photonics on the 13th – 14th April 2016. Leading experts were invited to lecture on the symposium’s theme of the science and technology of quantum many-body systems. The symposium took place at the Hotel Kokonoe at Kanzanji Onsen in Hamamatsu City.
The Research Foundation for Opto-Science and Technology, founded in 1988, is supported mainly by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., one of the four main parties who took part in the Photonics Declaration in Hamamatsu for establishing Hamamatsu as a preeminent photonics city in 2013.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses.

Available spectroscopy lamps include xenon, hollow cathode, ultraviolet, tungsten, halogen, mercury and deuterium.UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
