StockerYale Introduces Three New Products in Conjunction with LASER 2007 Exhibition in Munich
SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StockerYale, Inc. (NASDAQ: STKR - News), a leading designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules and specialty optical fibers for industry OEMs, today announced the market launch of three new products by the company's U.K.-based laser diode manufacturing business Photonic Products Ltd. The new products will be introduced at the LASER 2007, World of Photonics exhibition in Munich, Germany being held June 18 - 21.
The first of these new products is a 532nm DPSS (diode pumped solid state) green laser module with integral thermo electric control. Integral thermo electric control enables the laser module to be operated at a stable temperature level which provides the constant optical performance and wavelength precision necessary for demanding industrial and laboratory applications such as alignment, bio-analysis and flow cytometry. It is a compact, self-contained, efficient and highly reliable laser module.
The second product is the new FFD100 visual Fibre Fault Detector. This is a simple-to-use tool that pinpoints problem areas on an optical fibre by generating a bright red glow at the fault site to rapidly locate breaks, bends and other discontinuities that can affect fibre performance and result in signal loss.
The third new product introduction is a line of new 635nm Photon laser modules with a "Near End of Life Detection" capability. This PM-NEOLD range of laser modules is designed as a complete laser diode solution for OEM use in diverse applications such as industrial alignment and positioning, medical fluorescence and bar code readers.
"These three new products showcase our innovation in advanced photonics technologies and product design, and we're excited to present them on an international stage," said Mark W. Blodgett, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The World of Photonics has become the most important laser show in the world. It's the ideal venue for us to unveil our achievements in lasers and build visibility and initial momentum for these new products in the market."
StockerYale has exhibited at the LASER, World of Photonics show in Munich for the last ten years.
