Photonics News No 3

Dear Reader,

Laser Components Nordic took an active part in this year’s LASER Munich and we are very happy with the outcome. Most of all, it was a pleasure to meet both customers and business partners in the dynamic but relaxed setting of the show. LASER COMPONENTS had 50% more space than at the last trade show and more products and suppliers on the booth than ever before. Looking back, we are all very pleased with the turnout and especially with the quality of the inquiries. The interest in our products was high and new market segments opened up that would not have been possible without the LASER show. We thank every one that took time to stop by and discuss present and future business collaborations!

In this issue, you will be able to read about several exciting developments from within LASER COMPONENTS’ in-house product portfolio. The Pyro Group is expanding, we present new TE-cooled PbS and PbSe detectors and the x-InGaAs and InAs photodiode family has new members. We also report on our new coating systems and quality assurance processes. As always, our suppliers continue to push forward. One interesting product that I’d like to mention especially is the PRONTO from Gentec-EO. This hand held power meter will redefine mobile power meters by its range of functions, which significantly exceeds the functional range of meters currently available on the market. Please also take the time to check out PicoLAS (page 2), our supplier of drivers, pulse generators and accessories for high power laser diodes.

Laser Components Nordic AB will take part in this year’s Optics & Photonics in Sweden (OPS) 2015, which will take place October 28th – 29th at Alba Nova University ­Center, ­Stockholm. Please visit us there for more ­information on company and product news!

Yours,

Mikael Winters
