Optical technologies at Photonics 2023

We continue to update our visitors with news about companies that will be presented at Photonics 2023, March 28-31, at EXPOCENTRE Fairgrounds in Moscow.

Russian developer presented a replacement for foreign devices in the field of quantum technologies

QRate, a developer of electronic devices based on quantum technologies, has signed an agreement for distribution of single photon detectors of its own production with LLS, one of the largest Russian suppliers of components and equipment in the field of optics and photonics.

Single photon detectors are a key component in quantum cryptography systems - hardware-software complexes, which rely on fundamental laws of quantum mechanics to organise secret data transfer between users. It is detectors that are used in secret key distribution in a system and fix quantum states.

Along with quantum cryptography, single photon detectors find applications in various scientific and industrial fields: telecommunications, spectroscopy, drug development, DNA analysis, gas monitoring systems, fluorescence microscopy, and lidar production, a key sensor for unmanned vehicles.

Russian-made detectors are not inferior to their foreign counterparts in their characteristics. The use of domestic devices will allow businesses not only to make up for component shortages and reduce logistics costs, but also receive prompt technical support when closing foreign representative offices.

“Due to the fact that foreign development companies have left the Russian market or have reduced their supply volumes many times, Russian business faced a significant shortage of components. However, practice shows that Russian solutions are ready to compete with foreign counterparts. The agreement with LLS is an important step towards import substitution for the entire quantum sensor industry," said Alexander Priyutov, Head of Business Development at QRate.

“LLS pays great attention to promotion of domestic products in the field of optics and photonics and closely cooperates with Russian manufacturers in this area. Specialists of LLS and QRate made a detailed comparative analysis of single photon detectors by QRate (Russia) and IDQuantique (Switzerland). It showed practically complete interchangeability. We, as a distributor with extensive experience in the field of photonics, see here serious prospects both for the development of the Russian quantum industry, and for possible export of this equipment to friendly countries such as India and China,” said Nikita Burov, Director General of LLS.

In August 2022, QRate engineers together with the National Research University of Electronic Technology (MIET) and the Tomsk State University (TSU) announced a new method of measurement after pulses, a noise parametre, the detection accuracy of which is critical for efficient operation of single photon detectors.

LLS will be presented at the 17th International Exhibition for Laser, Optical and Optoelectronic Technologies – Photonics 2023 at stand No.FF040.

QRate is a domestic vendor of high-tech equipment in the field of quantum communications. Skolkovo resident since 2015.

LLS is one of the largest Russian distributors of photonics and laser systems founded in 2016. The company has its own R&D laboratory, more than 500 manufacturing partners all over the world and more than 100 employees with relevant technical education. Resident of Technopark of ITMO University, member of the Laser Association.

 

NPO KRIT, manufacturer of monocrystalline silicon

NPO KRIT is a manufacturing company that has modern equipment of its own design and highly efficient technologies in the field of manufacturing products from monocrystalline silicon by the Czochralski method.

The production was launched in 1989 based on scientific and practical developments in the field of carbon-carbon composite production technology for application in the furnaces of single-crystal silicon growing by the Czochralski method.

The company grows monocrystalline silicon of two grades:

• Boron-doped, p-type silicon, in the resistivity range of 0.001-80 Ohm-cm;
• Phosphor-doped, n-type silicon, in the resistivity range of 0.04–50 Ohm-cm.

Silicon produced by NPO KRIT can be used in a variety of industries such as

• Electronic. Used for manufacture of solid-state electronic devices, microcircuits, etc.
• Optical. Used for manufacture of components of optical devices operating in the wavelength range of 3-5 microns (optical windows, detectors, lenses, shells, and other special purpose components).
• Solar energy. Used to produce photovoltaic converters (solar cells).

At stand No.FA040, you will be able to ask questions about silicon and thermal assemblies.
