Welcome to another edition of Photonics Precision News, a news substack of Photonics Precision Technologies. Today is podcast sharing day! From Photonics Media excellent All Things Photonics podcast series. These are must listen series of pocasts covering interesting or relevant recent developments within the photonics industry and academia. Today I share a recent episode (I am not on schedule here, but I will not share very old episodes…) featuring Nathalie Picque from Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics talking about frequency combs, a new photonics/optoelectronics technology that have revolutionized time and frequency metrology, making stops along the way to key developments in optical clocks, and, as it turns out, broadband spectroscopy. I would like listeners to also pay close attention to the other links and comments on developments refered at the start of the programme. These are really worth to follow photonics developments, each one worthy of its own full podcast program… Here it is the title link for the podcast episode: NATHALIE PICQUE: FROM FREQUENCY COMBS TO HOLOGRAPHY — AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN (3/2/2021)
Further points to consider for today in photonics industry universe of developments:
Yolé Développement, a machine vision company of French origin, has published a paied for industry report on the Status of CMOS Image Sensor Industry 2020.
Key features of the report
2019 CIS (CMOS Image Sensors) revenue breakdown by market
2019 CIS revenue ranking by player
2019 CIS production ranking by foundry
2015-2025 CIS volume shipment forecast by application
2015-2025 CIS revenue forecast by application
2015-2025 CIS average selling price forecast by application
2015-2025 CIS wafer production forecast by application
It is data from 2019, but the information might still be useful for today’s business decision maker in the wider photonics sensor industry.
Here it is a link to an interview with Dr. Agnès Arnaud, head of the Optics and Photonics Department at CEA-Leti, about the CMOS Image sensors and its issues/properties/applications: CEA-Leti’s Involvement in the CMOS Image Sensor Ecosystem – An Interview by Yole Développement.

Quantum Computing is a modern day computing development where photonics plays a very important role, both on the direct quantum computing development side as we already have seen with quantum photonics computing, but also on the support instrumentation side where much of electronics and sensors, measurements devices and so on rely on photonics products. This week an important european business event is taking place about quantum computing, and we share here a link for the event, and for anyone interested to still be on time to register to participate: QUANTUM BUSINESS EUROPE.
