Photonics News No 1

Dear reader,

I am very happy to address you in this editorial of the very first Nordic Photonic News. Laser Components Nordic opened its doors in August this year and will serve customers in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway from its offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The months that have passed since the start have been exciting, intense and very rewarding.

I am happy to say that many of you have already found us! The recognition of the LASER COMPONENTS brand is already strong in our region, and the Scandinavian market has in fact become the third most important sales market for Laser Components – after the German speaking countries and the U.S. The opening of a Nordic sales office is therefore a very logical step and will ensure that you continue to get the attention and service your business needs.

The product portfolio we carry mainly includes products developed and manufactured by the Laser Components Group: emphasis will be put on components for IR applications, laser modules, laser optics, pulsed laser diodes, avalanche photodiodes, and fiber optic products. In addition, the portfolio also includes components manufactured by suppliers that have been represented by Laser Components for a long time. More will be added as time goes by, so please make sure to visit our webpage regularly.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank those of you who spent time at our booth at the Optics & Photonics in Sweden 2014 in November. We hope to see you again next year! For other conferences and trade shows, please check our events calendar.

Yours,
Mikael Winters
