Marketing and innovation strategy: The project aims to increase the innovation capabilities and sales of a company that designs and manufactures ultra-sensitive cameras.
As part of an international consortium, this project focuses on improving the field and speed performance of cameras.
This research partnership will lead to the development of a new technology using semiconductor-based photonics to rapidly detect and separate circulating tumour cells.
EMCCD imaging technology stands apart from competing technologies with its ability to efficiently count photons. Its closest competitor is CMOS technology which is attracting more and more interest. The brain of a camera is its controller, the electronics that support the detector. Canadian company Nüvü Cameras manufactures the world's most sensitive imaging solutions with its photon-counting controllers. Through this project, Nüvü Caméras will develop a spatial camera solution integrating its new CMOS controller for photon counting. Various complex challenges occur in adequately supporting ul
This innovation project will develop an automated analysis and adjustment technology to calibrate the control electronics of an ultrasensitive sensor.
Although night environmental conditions can be extreme and fluctuate drastically compared to daytime conditions, for an observation planned months in advance, everything must perform at the expected time. Up to now, Canada has been ahead of the curve with its unrivalled capability in ultra-sensitive imaging thanks to the Nüvü Cameras and this work will expand its ability to support detectors under difficult conditions. The project will enhance the opportunity for Canadian imaging technology to be considered in future terrestrial solutions to detect and track space debris or demonstrate the o
Electron Multiplication Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) technology stands out from competing technologies due to its ability to count photons accurately. CMOS technology is its closest competitor and attracting more and more interest. A camera’s controller serves as its brain, i.e. the electronics supporting the detector. Nüvü Caméras, a Canadian company, makes the world’s most sensitive imaging solutions with its photon-counting controllers. To date, its controllers support Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs), EMCCDs and with the help from this project, will also be able to support CMOS detectors.
Space debris affects satellite communication systems used for internet and security monitoring as well as satellites used for weather tracking. To avoid damages, future satellite constellations will need innovative imaging technology to detect and track debris against the dark setting of space. The cameras currently in use on satellites are limited to debris detection of large (over 10 cm) or metallic debris. This project will develop the capacity to support and test an innovative large-format, low-light detector designed to meet the needs of space environment. The low-flux, wide-field imagi
This project entitled ""Electron Multiplying Charged Coupled Device (EMCCD) Camera Controller"" aims at advancing the design of the Electron-Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EMCCD) camera controller in order to prepare it for future space missions. EMCCD is a digital imaging technology that is capable of detecting single photon events by way of a unique electron multiplying structure built into the sensor. Key technological advancements include reducing power consumption and adapting heat dissipation of the Canadian EMCCD controller. The heat needs to be dissipated even when no air is presen
EMCCD (electron multiplying charge-coupled device) detectors are highly sensitive cameras that take images in low-light conditions using photon signals. This technology extends the boundaries of what is observable. Canadian EMCCD technology is recognized internationally for its unparalleled imaging sensitivity. The main space applications for this technology are astronomy and the detection of space debris. A potential terrestrial application is biomedical imaging. The purpose of the Nüvü Caméras project is to improve the newest large-format EMCCD, which has a larger field of view (the area cov
