Fairchild Imaging celebrated our renewal and joining the Hamamatsu family last week with a Kagami Biraki ceremony. Kagami Biraki (鏡開き, literally “mirror opening”) is a ceremonial opening of a sake cask. This ceremony is held at personal and business events in Japan, as well as community events that mark new beginnings and transitions in the celebrants’ lives. Examples include weddings, festivals, housewarmings, and sports events. The term is a combination of “kagami,” what people in the sake industry use to refer to the round lid of a sake cask, and “hiraku,” meaning to open. The tradition began 300 years ago with the fourth Shogun of the Tokugawa era, Tokugawa Ietsuna. On the eve of war, he gathered his top military leaders and advisors to his castle to break open a sake cask. After he achieved victory, the ceremonial opening of a sake cask became custom throughout Japan. #fairchildimaging #fairchildimaging2024 #hamamatsu - Fairchild Imaging celebrated our renewal and joining the Hamamatsu family last week with a Kagami Biraki ceremony.

We're hiring at Fairchild Imaging. Learn more about pushing the limits on what image sensors are capable of. - We are very happy to announce a new chapter in the storied history of Fairchild Imaging! BAE Systems, Inc., which had owned the stock of Fairchild Imaging, Inc. for the past 13 years, has processed a stock sale to Photonics Management Corporation, a subsidiary of Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. Resuming the identity as Fairchild Imaging, Inc., we will operate as an independent, yet wholly owned, US entity. Fairchild Imaging is a CMOS imaging sensor design and manufacturing company, specializing in high-performance image sensors. Our x-ray and visible spectrum sensors provide class leading performance in x-ray, and from ultraviolet through visible and into near-infrared wavelengths. Fairchild Imaging’s core products include medical x-ray sensors for superior diagnostics, as well as scientific CMOS (sCMOS) sensors for measurement applications that simultaneously realize high sensitivity, fast readout, high dynamic range, and ultra-low noise in 4K resolution. Marc Thacher, CEO of Fairchild Imaging, said: “Joining the Hamamatsu family represents a great opportunity for Fairchild Imaging. Building upon decades of imaging excellence, we look forward to bringing new innovations and technologies to challenging imaging applications like scientific, space, low-light, machine vision, inspection, and medical diagnostics. The acquisition by Hamamatsu will help drive growth and agility as we continue as a design leader for our customers, partners, and employees.” As part of this new chapter, Fairchild Imaging is unveiling its latest evolution of sCMOS sensors: sCMOS 3.1. These patented, groundbreaking imagers redefine the limits of what is possible in CMOS sensors for the most demanding of imaging applications.
