Short description

Article body

Early in February ‘08 NT-MDT company promoted a training SPM NanoEducator http://www.ntmdt.com/Products/Scanning_Probe_Microscopes/product79.html compatible with Mac OS. NT-MDT is the first company who introduced the world of SPM nanoinvestigations to Mac OS users.
Single-step method settings, facile replacement of samples and user-friendly interface are the essential adjectives of a device for the research and educational process which have been replenished with Mac OS compatibility feature now.
Moreover, optical and mechanical parts of the device have been developed considerably. One can choose the most interesting regions to investigate by means of a video camera which allows to “stroll over the surface”. Details of the video picture can be emphasized in different ways owing to changeable backlight angle. Furthermore, focusing control of the video camera permits to avoid the probe damage by following the approach process more thoroughly.
NT-MDT company supplies multifunctional nanolaboratories NTEGRA and sophisticated nanotechnological facilities NanoFab to the market but focuses its attention on the development of instrumental basis for the nanoeducation now as before. Together with upgrade of the NanoEducator device its capabilities are available for the staunch supporters of Macintosh platform.

Dutch Wafers to Study Early Universe

Micronit Microfluidics and Cosine Research Develop Next-Generation ESA X-ray Telescope

Cosine Research (cosine) and Micronit Microfluidics (Micronit) are proud to announce their cooperation in an X-ray telescope project for the European Space Agency (ESA). The collaborative project concerns the development of a new type of lens for the observation of X-ray radiation from the universe. This new type of lens is much lighter than comparable lenses and can therefore be more economically sent into outer space. Cosine leads the international consortium of companies and knowledge institutes that include Micronit and the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON).

The X-ray telescope being developed for XEUS is made from silicon wafers. These wafers are commonly used in the electronics industry to make electronic chips, and can be bonded together to form an X-ray lens. For an X-ray lens, a large surface is needed, but a stack of precisely structured wafers can have the same effect. The manufacture and assembly of silicon wafers is a complicated job requiring precision of one ten-thousandth of a millimetre. Micronit will manufacture the wafers to these precise dimensions by using special processing techniques and equipment. Cosine will then assemble the wafers in such way that a light-weight, precise, and robust lens is created that can survive the harsh conditions of outer space.

The X-ray lens is being developed for ESA’s proposed XEUS satellite. Recently, XEUS was selected as one of the candidates for the Cosmic Vision program, a plan for scientific satellites that will be launched by ESA between 2015 and 2025. XEUS is a next-generation telescope that will study the fundamental laws and the origin of the universe. The origin of black holes, the evolution of galaxies, the development of structures on cosmic level and extreme gravity under extreme conditions are just a few examples of the things that can be studied with XEUS. The selection for the Cosmic Vision program increases the chance that the X-ray lens developed by cosine and Micronit will be used in future missions.

Ronny van ‘t Oever, co-founder and CTO of Micronit: “It is essential that the silicon wafers are processed with a very high accuracy. We are proud that our etching and bonding techniques have been chosen as the best alternatives for the project. We are very glad to have cosine as our partner. Both our companies develop solutions for high-tech scientific problems, and this gives a good match.”

For Marco Beijersbergen, founder and manager of cosine, this contract is an important step. In the beginning of his company, he worked with ESTEC, the technology centre of ESA in Noordwijk (NL). In that time, he stood at the cradle of the design of the XEUS telescope and was one of the co-inventors of the technology. “The first job we won with cosine was the development of the XEUS-technology we invented with ESTEC. Meanwhile, cosine does a lot more, but the design of XEUS and the development of this technology is still an important activity. The assignment of this important job and the selection for the Cosmic Vision program is the crowning glory of many years of research. The cooperation between cosine and Micronit dates from the first phase of this development in 2001. The cooperation is now considerably strengthened with this assignment.”

Long description

The Nanostructuring Platform is a platform in the EU funded Framework 6 ePIXnet Network of Excellence. Our role is to facilitate research projects by providing access to expensive and complicated Nanofabrication facilities. The platform is made up of a number of partners from across the EU. Each partner provides one or more important capability with the end result being a well equipped Nanophotonics foundry.

With the assistance of this platform, it therefore becomes possible for groups without fabrication facilities to have access to nanophotonic devices, such as photonic crystals and photonic wires, of the highest quality with minimal difficulty. This approach is especially important, as over recent years, the complexity and cost of the necessary machines has increased dramatically as the precision required to create world class devices has increased.

Through the ePIXnet project, we are collaborating in a number of ePIXnet funded research activities, however, non-ePIXnet institutions may also access this platform. In fact, as it is intended that this platform should continue after the ePIXnet project, these external users are very important. This website contains descriptions of specific processes that this platform can perform, along with the best and typical performance that may be expected. This information can be used to determine the types of device that may be made for ePIXnet and non-ePIXnet users.

At a later stage, certain performance guarantees will be made for benchmark devices (currently only available on one device type). Test structures may then be included which the user may test and then notify us should the devices not be up to the specifications.

ePIXnet is also running a number of other platforms that are complementary to this platform Silicon Photonics, InP Photonics (JEPPIX), Modelling, High Speed Characterisation and Packaging. More details can be found at www.ePIXnet.org.

Currently ePIXnet is providing a substantial fraction of the running costs for this platform, typically, requiring users only to cover consumables for devices fabricated while including the relevant Nanostructuring Platform people as co-authors on any resulting publications. The exact contribution to be required from the user will be determined through negotiation with the specific partners involved on a case-by-case basis.

However, ePIXnet comes to a close in the Autumn of 2008, and if this platform is continue running costs will have to come from elsewhere. To this end, we would be hopeful that potential users will request funding in future project applications for the provision of devices by this platform. For our part, we will endeavour to provide devices of the highest quality thus enabling world class research work.

This activity will be non profit- the money provided will go towards running costs and the provision of technical staff at the partner institutions as well as capital investment in state-of-the-art equipment. Additionally, fabrication advances made by any of the partners can be made available to the community.

A number of the current ePIXnet activities are researching improved device functionalities. It is envisaged that the successful realisation of these projects will lead to a new generation of devices being offered through the platform- for example, active InP and Silicon devices (those currently available are passive). Furthermore, any additional advances made at any of the partner institutions may also be incorporated into the platform (if suitable), thus leading to benefits to both the researchers concerned and the Nanophotonics community, in general.

Long description

The term "Nanotechnology" refers to the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. At the nano-scale, the optical properties of materials differ in fundamental and valuable ways from the properties of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter.

KiloLambda's mission is to create improved materials, structures, devices, and systems that exploit these new optical properties.KiloLambda has two core proprietary technologies, on which its product development is based.

The characteristics of these technologies are:

* Threshold based light blocking
* Threshold based light limiting

With a diverse and powerful team of optics professionals with a wide variety of expertise, the company focuses on the common goal of providing timely, high-quality innovative products to the market.

KiloLambda is concentrating efforts on those markets where applying its technology is expected to yield the highest profitability. Today, the company provides solutions to the telecommunication market as it migrates to all optical fiber, wavelengths switched network and the market for laser protection filters which consist mainly of defense, industrial and medical applications. KiloLambda plans to further extend its technology so it will meet the needs of additional and bigger markets: the semiconductor market towards its imminent migration to silicon photonics and the cameras, windows, mirrors and eyeglasses markets with their unsatisfied needs for better sunlight screening and filtering.

KiloLambda's relative advantage is in developing and providing innovative and unique solutions to optical power control needs. Each of the company's products is usually one component or subsystem, integrated with others. Accordingly, KiloLambda is striving to form strategic alliances , that is, arrangements covering joint product development, production and marketing , with producers of the integrated product.

The partnership KiloLambda formed in 2003 with world leader Molex ("MOLX") represents the type of alliances KiloLambda aspires to form in the future in other markets. Molex and KiloLambda were successful in winning external governmental research and development funding for a joint product development project, in which KiloLambda's novel technology will be incorporated in Molex connector products. The resulting family of products, jointly owned by the two companies, will function as safety devices in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and Metro infrastructure applications. Molex capabilities in mass production will drive the manufacturing costs to a minimum resulting in affordable end user prices for the products. Initial sales through the worldwide marketing and sales organization of Molex, are expected by the end of 2007.

KiloLambda considers its optical power control technology to be the main source of its future business success. While pursuing its goals regarding the core power control technology, KiloLambda is engaging in immediate revenue generating activities, based on the company's peripheral technological achievements.

Today these activities include development of Optical Proximity Sensors and High Energy Lasers for defense applications. Revenues from these activities will support KiloLambda's main effort regarding its core technology in face of diverse possible conditions of capital and product markets.
