Photek detectors play a critical role in understanding the complex processes inside Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions and high-energy plasma and pulsed-power experiments. They provide scientists with valuable insights into fusion reaction dynamics, energy production efficiency and plasma confinement behaviour. 

Key phases of ICF implosions occur on picosecond timescales, making them extremely challenging to measure using traditional diagnostic techniques. Additionally, the hazardous radiation environment can quickly degrade many conventional instruments. Photek’s range of advanced solutions deliver some of the fastest temporal performance in the world and are engineered to operate reliably in the most demanding experimental environments.
