Products Applied

Since ancient times, light has been an integral part of our lifestyles and has brought us diverse benefits and blessings. Currently, that light is applied in numerous technologies and products that are indispensable to us in our everyday lives. Many of the products that we use without even thinking about them involve opto-technology, among them CD and DVD players that we use to enjoy music and videos, fiber-optic transmission technology that lets us transmit information over the Internet and in other ways, fax machines, copiers, cameras, and many others. Here, we introduce just a few of the fields in which Hamamatsu Photonics products are being used.

Energy, Resources And Environment

As industry continues to develop, pollution of the natural environment around us, such as the air and water, is becoming a serious problem. Opto-technology is playing a role in helping to solve problems such as these.

Health

Opto-technology is proving useful in research and in the equipment that we need in order to maintain and manage our health, such as the medical instruments used for diagnosis and testing in hospitals and other facilities, and biomedical fields such as genetics and the development of new pharmaceuticals.

Information And Communications

In the information and communications field, where memory capacities will be growing even larger and speeds will be increasing even further, opto-technology is playing an extremely important role.

Industry

Opto-technology is at work in areas of our everyday lives where we don't even see it. Another area of use is in industrial manufacturing and testing equipment.
