Bookham New Focus Launches High-Precision Laser at LASER 2007
San Jose, CA - June 12, 2007 - New Focus(TM), a division of Bookham, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKHM), today announced the launch of a single-wavelength, high-precision laser at LASER World of Photonics, 2007 next week.
The Integral(TM) laser, which will be demonstrated live on the New Focus stand (B1.622), is designed for precision metrology, including interferometery and Raman imaging and spectroscopy. The laser's high stability, narrow linewidth and tiny footprint make it ideal for enabling high precision measurements in demanding applications, including terahertz generation, fiber gyroscopes and LIDAR.
"The new Integral laser demonstrates once again our commitment to producing highly stable and reliable products," said Ken Ibbs, General Manager for New Focus. "With this new laser, and our extensive photonics portfolio, we are targeting significant markets in Europe, including the spectroscopy, industrial laser, laser systems and scientific research sectors."
New Focus will give live demonstrations of a number of products, including position-sensitive detectors, closed-loop motorized rotary stages, GuideStar(TM) OEM active-beam alignment systems, Granite(TM) OEM light-management solutions, and vacuum and ultraclean solutions.
New Focus has also chosen LASER 2007 to launch its new, revamped company website at www.newfocus.com, allowing improved ease-of-use through dynamic navigation, coupled with the company's 24/7 global e-commerce system.
A high resolution image of the New Focus Integral(TM) single-wavelength, high-precision laser is available on request from howard@bcspr.co.uk.
