CODE V’s fast wavefront differential tolerancing gives you the accuracy of a long Monte Carlo analysis—in just seconds. Not only does CODE V provide an accurate statistical analysis of the expected RMS or MTF performance with selected tolerances and compensators, it also identifies the most sensitive, performancedriving tolerances. Utilizing a new Singular Value Decomposition algorithm, CODE V can even identify the best compensators for your system from all the possible compensators. CODE V’s unique Interactive Tolerancing leverages the speed of wavefront differential tolerancing to allow you to make changes to the tolerance values and instantly see the impact on performance. In addition, CODE V supports slope error and RMS surface error tolerance types for specifying tolerances on aspheric surfaces in a way that can be modeled in the software and measured by your fabricator. Try CODE V on your tolerancing problem. You’ll love the results.

Now, we have developed photomultiplier tubes with quantum efficiency (QE) as high as 43%. This is a new milestone in our continuous mission to establish higher levels of detector performance. QE indicates the amount of incident photons that can be converted to photoelectrons by a detector. The higher the QE, the higher the detector sensitivity. This is absolutely essential in high-precision light measurement because it allows you to extend the limits of your detection system. It is the technological key to discovering new knowledge. Hamamatsu’s new technology for increased QE is the UBA & SBA series photocathodes. The UBA photocathode typically climbs to 43% QE at certain wavelengths, and the SBA photocathode goes as high as 35% QE. Both types deliver significantly higher performance than conventional bialkali photocathodes. They are the latest innovation in a time-tested detection technology— and one more step along the road to peak PMT performance. Hamamatsu offers a wide selection of PMTs with the UBA or SBA photocathode.
