Hamamatsu Photonics Belgium

About us

Our mission is to benefit society through the development of technologies that capture, measure, and generate various types of light.
That's why we re-invest at least 9% of our yearly revenue into research and development - to maintain cutting-edge quality across 90 types of image sensors, light sources, components, and systems with capabilities that span the spectrum from x-ray to infrared.

Here is a range of our products;
Sensors and emitters for visible and invisible light:
We are one of the only companies in the world that develops a wide range of both light sensors, such as photomultiplier tubes and photodiodes, and light sources such as lasers, LEDs, and measurement lamps.
The components we manufacture measure and generate not only visible light, but also ultra-low, ultraviolet, infrared, and x-ray light.

Components, modules, and systems:
Our light sensor and light source components are also available as modules and units with dedicated circuits. These devices can be incorporated into systems we develop, such as optical measurement systems, imaging systems, and image analysis systems.
These products are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from everyday technology like smartphones to measurement instruments that support cutting-edge academic research.

Even the healthiest person is susceptible to the risk of future disease, which is why early diagnosis is very important. Hamamatsu Photonics manufactures high-performance devices optimized for medical use such as positron emission tomography (PET), mammography, and x-ray CT. Throughout the world, our devices play an important role in medical examinations by detecting diseases such as cancer in their early stages.
