Welcome to Quarktet Technologies!

A New Year brings new results. Dr. Caron has published his findings on modificatrions to the  ImPASS algorithm (patent pending) that shows a resolution  improvement factor of 4.41 as compared to original resolution.  That is like dividing a single pixel into 20 pixels.  SeDDaRA plays a big part. See Super-sampling for details. 

Tria, version 4.0 is available at for $320 (US). In addition to our award-winning blind deconvolution, Tria has fast image registration, a good selection of de-noising filters, image analysis tools that cannot be found anywhere else, and image viewers designed for image analyzers. For Version 4.05, we have update the platform for Windows 11, added a software license process, created a faster FFT function and improved the deconvolution to produce 5% better resolution!

Per request, we can build a 'GCLAD-IN-A-BOX' system, our low-cost, high sensitivity laser ultrasound detection system. This system can be used for laboratory research, industrial proof-of-concept, or even customized to fit your application. Our latest Dulcian 3.0 detector  has a remote optical housing, optional 10X gain, choice of X or Y signals, and improved electrcial design. More information is available here. Turn-around time is about a few months. We have some recent interest in the use of this technology for sensing acoustic in liquids.  Please ask!

Glossary

New to Quarktet?  This is a short description of our terms:

  • Laser Ultrasound--A class of techniques that generate or detect ultrasonic waves in materials using lasers.
  • CLGU--Continuous Laser Generation of Ultrasound.  This is a new method of generating ultrasound in materials using a high-powered continuous-wave laser.   
  • GCLAD--Gas-coupled Laser Acoustic Detection.  A method of detecting ultrasound where a laser's path is altered by the wave passing though the beam.
  • Dulcian--Our custom photodetector made specifically for GCLAD systems.
  • Blind Deconvolution--A class of methods that identify the blur in an image and attempt to remove the blur to restore the image.
  • SeDDaRA--A blind deconvolution method that identifies the blur in an image through comparison with a similar, but un-blurred image.
  • Tria--Our image processing progam that allows for easy application of SeDDaRA and host of other uncommon image processing methods.
  • ImPASS--Image Phase Alignment Super-Sampling--a method of combining a set of low resolution images into a single high resolution image.
