PRINCETON, NJ - January 14, 2008 - Laser Energetics, Inc. (Pink Sheets: LNGT - News) announced today that the Company has received a contract worth $481,268 from ITT Corporation (NYSE:ITT) for a laser demonstration of an all solid state frequency tripled Alexandrite laser using the LEI proprietary BrightStar(TM) technology. This contract is in support of the U.S. Army's initiative to develop an all solid-state laser for the next generation of chemical warfare agent sensor currently being developed by ITT.
The contract follows the Army's selection of Laser Energetics' BrightStar(TM) as the laser technology of choice for this remote sensing of chemical warfare agents. The technology was selected by a government panel following the panel's evaluation of 20 different competing laser technologies from 18 laser companies. The panel's evaluation and decision was made in part by Laser Energetics' report on this all solid-state Alexandrite laser and the technical advantages of this tunable laser technology over other lasers.
