Leading towards making our vision in the field of information and communications a reality


Here, we introduce the seeds of technology that we possess in order to lead towards realizing our vision in the field of information and communications. In this field, we're striving to develop devices and systems that utilize the characteristics of light to the utmost limit as we take on the challenge of creating optical computers, quantum computers and even "thinking computers" that can be realized by finding solutions to complex systems.

Leading towards making our vision in the field of information and communications a reality

SLM (Spatial Light Modulator)


In order to use light effectively, we need to be able to control phases, which are one element of light. The SLM is a key device that was developed specifically for this purpose. We're pioneering a wide range of applications, one of which is to make it possible to form the intensity distribution of laser light into any desired shape.

Holography technology


Holography, which is used to record and play back the amplitudes and phase distributions of light, is opening up greater possibilities for technology, among them animated image display technology that would play back 3D animated images of objects using computer holograms, and still image display technology such as hologram printers that would output 3D photos. Those technologies could be taken a step further in the future, to develop interfaces, large-capacity memories and other advances.


IVS (Intelligent Vision System)

Requiring only one-thousandth of a second to recognize an image and output a control signal, the IVS (Intelligent Vision System) not only enables high-speed image processing but could also open up applications in diverse fields ranging from movement control in production systems and robots to high-speed correction of laser light.

Working to make quantum computers a reality


In order to bring quantum computers into the realm of reality, we will need to develop devices that can handle the generation and measurement of quantum bits, as well as other operations. Hamamatsu Photonics is already seizing the initiative in developing the devices that will open up a new era in quantum computing. Through our work, we're making a contribution to the information-oriented society that lies just around the next corner.
Working to make quantum computers a reality

On our global Web site, under the heading "What Can We Do With Light?" (under "Special Contents"), we explain our thoughts concerning how we want to go about creating new fields of industry based on opto-technology. We hope you'll take a look at that along with the information provided here.
