Gooch and Housego has launched its fibre-coupled AOM (acousto-optics module) designed for use in pulsed fibre laser amplifier systems, achieving optimum performance in demanding applications such as material processing.
Optek Technology has released the OCB100-Kit, which is an automatic calibration design kit featuring a driver board with three different optoelectronic circuits to enable design engineers to easily calibrate optoelectronic devices
iCHaus has launched a 1,024-step logarithmic precision potentiometer, the iC-HL, which can be used to set the optical output power of laser diodes in conjunction with APC laser drivers.
Highland Technology has released the T860, a multipurpose combination of a precision analogue comparator and a versatile output driver, capable of operating from DC up to 1GHz.
iC-Haus has released its iC-GF monolithic interface, with two independent switching channels that enables digital sensors to drive peripheral elements, such as programmable logic controllers (PLC) and relays, for example.
Nextreme Thermal Solutions has launched its OptoCooler HV series, an RoHS-compliant high voltage and high heat pumping thermoelectric cooler that has been optimised for standard circuitry and power requirements.
Scitec Instruments has introduced the LTX-5525, from Terahertz Technologies, which is an E/O-O/E converter pair that enables transmission of 16 independent channels of digital information over fibre optic links from metres to more than 10km
Intense has launched the Power Core 808, a new family of very high brightness, single emitter laser engine chips that can be customised to a wide variety of optics applications.

Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
