StockerYale, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules and specialty optical fibers for industrial OEMs, medical and defense markets, today opened a state-of-the-art facility in Cork, Ireland.
Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., the global leader in advanced refractive technologies for eye care professionals and patients, has named Simon Kilvington, Ph.D., director of microbiology.
A new EU-funded project to boost the capacity and efficiency of the next generation of optical networks has just got underway. The PHASORS ('Phase sensitive amplifier systems and optical regenerators and their applications') initiative is funded under the 'Information and communication technology' (ICT) Theme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) to the tune of EUR 3.9 million.
SOLX, Inc. announced today U.S. Food and Drug (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the SOLX 790 to perform Titanium:Sapphire laser trabeculoplasty (TLT). The 510(k) clearance was based on the results of a multi-center, international clinical trial that established equivalency of TLT to ALT in the ability to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients having primary open angle glaucoma and poorly controlled IOP on maximally tolerated medications and/or prior failed trabeculoplasty. The laser had previously been approved for sale in Europe and Canada.
Magnetic resonance scans will be safer for children and other patients needing anaesthesia, thanks to new kinds of optical sensors developed by a team of European researchers.
Alcon, Inc. announced the international release of the new AcrySof® Phakic Lens at the 2008 European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) annual meeting in Berlin, Germany. Based on Alcon's proven and trusted AcrySof® intraocular lens (IOL) material, Alcon designed the AcrySof® Phakic Lens to become the surgeon's preferred solution for patients with moderate to high levels of myopia (nearsightedness).
PathoLase, Inc., an emerging leader in the medical technology industry, reported today that a select group of leading podiatrists in several markets in the US are now treating patients who suffer from toenail fungus (Onychomycosis) with its ground breaking laser technology. Using PathoLase's patented PinPointe FootLaser system, podiatrists in Sacramento, San Jose, Salt Lake City and Belleville, New Jersey are open for business treating their patients' toenail fungus.
A bizarre but well-established aspect of quantum physics could open up a new era of electronic detectors and imaging systems that would be far more efficient than any now in existence, according to new insights by an MIT leader in the field.
Greenlight Initiative, a New York City based LED-lighting sales organization and solutions provider, today announced its plans to implement full third party photometric testing and qualification for all of its product lines beginning January 2009. This program, intended to independently verify and extend upon any available manufacturers' test data, is in addition to Greenlight's previously announced qualitative evaluation program.
Daylight Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced molecular detection and imaging solutions, today announced that it has established a new world record for a broadly tunable solid state mid-infrared laser source in a commercial product. The company integrated a Quantum Cascade semiconductor gain chip from ALPES lasers (Switzerland) into its own patented tunable external-cavity laser (EC-QCL) system. The result was a single frequency source that tuned across 275 wavenumbers, or 24% of the laser's center wavelength at 8.8µm.
