Free Space Optical Communication (FSOC) is gaining attention as a technology that enables high-speed, large-capacity, and low-latency inter-satellite communication. PI supports the high-precision beam alignment essential for FSOC through its long-developed high-precision motion control technology. This time, we have published an explanatory article and podcast about this technology. Please take a look at the beam control using high-speed steering mirrors (FSM) and the PAT (Pointing, Acquisition, Tracking) technology.

At PI Japan, we publish videos on our official YouTube channel that introduce the operation and technology of our products. On this channel, you can easily view the operation of actual devices, as well as product technology and precision positioning technology. You can intuitively confirm movements and performance that are difficult to visualize with just catalogs and specifications through these videos. While the frequency of video updates is not high, we carefully select content that is helpful for understanding products and considering technologies. Please make use of this as a reference for product selection and implementation considerations.

Under strict standards and environments, high precision and reproducibility are required in research and development. At PI, we have been engaged in the development and manufacturing of components, systems, and solutions that can be smoothly integrated into existing experimental environments, backed by over 50 years of experience. With compatibility with major software such as LabVIEW, MATLAB, and Python, as well as an open interface, smooth integration into various research environments and flexible customization are possible. We have picked up a lineup of recommended products for implementation in research settings.

PI GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany) has acquired 100% of the shares of PDW Corporation. PDW Corporation, located in Gifu Prefecture, the center of aerospace technology in Japan, has the capability to design and manufacture granite stone plates and positioning systems using them. These two skills align perfectly with PI's corporate strategy to build a global network for the PI design center. In the medium term, PDW Corporation is also expected to join this network. In the future, there are plans to assemble PI's positioning systems at PDW Corporation. Granite has unique properties that absorb heat and vibrations. PDW Corporation is capable of producing granite stone plates with the highest level of flatness. These stone plates are used in applications requiring high precision in the fields of semiconductors, life sciences, photonics, and industrial automation.
