The Innovation Awards allow companies to showcase their latest products and services entering the marketplace, while reaching the top industry decision makers at CLEO – the premier laser conference and exposition.
“AUREA Technology is honored to receive a 2015 CLEO/Laser Focus World Innovation Award,” stated Jérôme Prieur, president and CEO, AUREA Technology. “Our time correlated single photon counting analyzer enable researchers to measure very low light level down to a single photon. This award highlights the value our analyzer brings to the industry.”
Amy Eskilson, president and CEO, Inrad Optics, said “The 2015 CLEO/Laser Focus World Innovation Award highlights the great work our team is doing to bring stilbene from R&D to commercial production. We are proud that this material may enable next-generation detection systems to better protect the American public against nuclear threats.”
David Jones, director of sales and marketing, Cutting Edge Optronics Inc., a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, added “We are thrilled to have the organizers of the CLEO/Laser Focus World/Innovation Award recognize our accomplishments in DPSS-based laser systems. Our Gigashot-HE all-diode-pumped joule class laser system is the next generation of high energy, short pulse Nd:YAG laser systems. Pumping with long-lived laser diodes enables hands-free, ultra-stable operation at high (>100 Hz) repetition rates.”
