X-Ray Imaging Detectors: Special Requests

We are happy to bring your most unusual requests to life. Don’t hesitate to ask.

Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA

This is a special version of the AXIS-SXR-40-EUV 16 Mpix camera that was especially designed for the TARDIS experimental chamber at NSLS-II’s Coherent Soft X-ray Scattering (CSX) beamline. The compact design allows the detector to be fixed on a rotating arm and the minimum angle between the incoming x-ray beam and the beam coming from the sample is 9°.

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, USA

At the ChemRIXS endstation of LCLS, the AXIS-SXRF-6060 detector is integrated into the SVLS spectrometer as part of the standard experimental configuration. It is applied in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) to investigate ultrafast processes in molecules and materials. The system enables high-resolution measurements of weak fluorescence signals, providing access to electronic structure, charge transfer, and energy flow on femtosecond timescales.

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany

This is a special version of the AXIS-SXR-EUV 4 Mpix camera, featuring an sCMOS sensor mounted on a gimbal that allows 90° rotation around its center. The system has been installed on the high-transmission spectrometer at the Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation (IPS).

AXIS-2DX: 2D Ultrafast UV Camera

CHRISTIAN — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 03:28:33 +0000

AXIS-2DX: The World’s Fastest UV Camera

Axis Photonique is proud to introduce the AXIS-2DX, the world’s fastest UV camera.

This ultrafast camera can record movies at a rate of 0.5 trillion frames per second and was developed by a international team of ultrafast imaging scientists lead by Prof. Jinyang Liang and Prof. François Légaré of Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (Canada) and Dr. Nicolas Jaouen of the Soleil Synchrotron (France).

This scientific breakthrough is of great significance in revealing the fundamental mechanisms in physics, chemistry, and biology. It has made the front cover of the 10th issue of the journal Laser & Photonics Reviews.

The next step is to use this camera to record ultrafast events on largescale infrastructures like synchrotrons which are using much shorter wavelengths.

Main Features:

Frame size: 1750 x 500
Number of frames in a movie: up to 1400
Imaging speed: 0.5 trillion frames per second

Reference: “Single‐Shot Ultraviolet Compressed Ultrafast Photography”
