Quantum Composers Announces iPad Winner: Dr. Sebastian Raeder
Quantum Composers, Pulse Generator and Laser Technology manufacturer, has selected Dr. Sebastian Raeder as the winner for the “2011 Colleague Recommendation Contest”. Dr. Raeder works in a laser laboratory which uses pulsed nansosecond Ti:sapphire laser systems for resonant laser ionization of rare radionuclides at Canada’s National Laboratory for Nuclear and Particle Physics (TRIUMF) in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This “resonant ionization laser ion source” is an element selective, highly efficient ion source, that provides intense beams of short lived isotopes, which are produced at TRIUMF’s isotope separator and accelerator facility.
Quantum Composers representative Erin Prieskorn says ” we couldn’t be more happy to get to present this award to a scientist doing such excellent research”.
More About Triumf:
TRIUMF’s isotope separator and accelerator facility in Vancouver BC is one of a few facilities world-wide that provide beams or short-lived, exotic radioactive isotopes for nuclear and particle physics experiments. Its user community based in Canada, the US and overseas is composed mostly of university based groups and teams of scientists, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students that use the unique radioactive ion beams available, the unique infrastructure and experimental facilities available at TRIUMF.
We provide these research groups with the isotopes they require for their research in fields such as nuclear physics, fundamental symmetries, solid state physics, nuclear medicine, and nuclear astrophysics.
More About Quantum Composers:
Quantum Composers was founded in 1993 in Bozeman, Montana, an already accelerating high tech center for electro-optic startups in the northern Rocky Mountain Region.

Brown University Integrates Quantum Composers Pulse Generator
We are proud to have one of our 9528 Digital Delay Pulse Generators incorporated for use as a timing system at Brown University. Quantum Composers is committed to supporting researchers by offering demo units as well as discounts to academic institutions and we commend the excellent researchers at Brown University on their recent projects. Below you can read more about their experiment or download the full paper here.
High speed visualization of a droplet impacting a dry surface
by Shreyas Mandre, Assistant Professor, School of Engineering, Brown University.
The mechanism behind liquid droplet splashing on a smooth dry surface is not completely understood. It was recently discovered that reducing ambient pressure can suppress splashing altogether. Researchers at Brown University have created an experiment setup to explore this phenomenon.
Brown’s system utilizes a Quantum Composers 9528 Digital Delay Generator to facilitate experiment timing. First, the pulse generator is triggered by the droplet disrupting an optical circuit consisting of a continuous laser source and a photodiode detector. Next, a suitable delay is added to allow the droplet to fall into position.
Finally, the pulse generator sends an output pulse signal to a high resolution camera, which serves to begin the exposure for 5-40 µs during the impact process. Another synchronized pulse is sent to a Q-switched laser (or fast LED) for illumination. The 8 independent output channels of the 9528 Digital Delay/Pulse Generator allow for vast variety in experiment setup. “Rest assured, the range of possibility the capabilities of the Quantum Composers Digital Delay Generator allows us is only limited by our imagination.”
New Product: 1550 Series Handheld Laser Diode Driver Controller
Quantum Composers, a leading developer of laser timing and synchronization technology has just developed a new laser diode driver controller for use in the photonics and laser industries. Rather than having to create a controller for diode drivers from scratch, researchers will now be able to use this portable handheld device for all their projects saving them valuable development time.
The new 1550 LDDC is a unique instrument in that it allows remote computer control of the laser diode driver or it can be integrated into the system as a board level option. Users will also now be able to save and recall their setting for use on future projects or for controlling different drivers with a single instrument. The device features a full LCD display, indicator lights, a full 8 button keypad and a USB port allowing it to function alone or in conjunction with a system.

PIV and LIBS Solutions from Quantum Composers
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)
Accurate and reliable LIBS analysis requires the ability to precisely control and flexibly alter the timing between laser firing and triggering of the spectrometer. Optimizing this timing parameter is the first crucial step for meaningful LBIS results.
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
In laser flow diagnostics techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry, synchronization between the laser and camera is critical for precise and high quality data.
Quantum Composers Digital Delay Generators are ideally suited for use in PIV and LIBS timing applications. We offer several models including budget sensitive units and highly customizable modular builds, all protected by a comprehensive 2-year warranty. Contact us to discuss how our pulse generators can best meet your system needs.

Quantum Composers Gives away Pulse Generator to Energy Research Company
Energy Research Company (ERCo), formed in 1991, is a small high-tech company that conducts research in industrial energy and emissions related areas. ERCo, in partnership withLehighUniversity, is working on a DOE STTR project “On-Line, Real Time Coal Measurement and Data Processing to Optimize Boiler Operations.” Coal-fired electric power plants suffer from outages and reduced efficiency due to the coal byproducts sticking to and clogging the equipment. This project will develop an instrument that measures coal properties to avoid that problem. This will increase a power plant’s electric output which will lower consumer’s costs and reduce greenhouse gases.
Dr. Weisberg’s team will be using their new Quantum Composers 9524 timing generator to control firing multiple lasers. Primarily they use a technique called Double Pulse Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (DP-LIBS). In this technique, two Nd:YAG lasers must be coordinated to fire within microseconds, or sometimes a fraction of a microsecond, apart. The technology can be used to determine the elemental composition of a wide range of solids, liquids, and gases.
We congratulate Dr. Weisberg and his team for winning our contest and wish them continued success as they carry on their excellent research.
