Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, LA LED has been expanding its distribution centers and direct project market managers constantly so as to have a more improved project management and coordinate sales, thereby benefiting its large client base in the U.S., Brazil and Canada.
In the search for alternative fuels, scientists need tools to take snapshots of combustion reactions that happen at short time scales. American researchers have devised a new-type of burst-mode laser that provides bursts lasting 10 times longer than previous examples—enough to enable “movies” of these reactions.
Cree, Inc. introduces the industry’s first LED downlight designed to deliver specification-grade lighting performance with pricing to match the everyday price of incumbent technology fluorescent grade downlights.
Redfern Integrated Optics, Inc. (RIO) today announced that it has been awarded a Phase 2 SBIR contract for further development of its breakthrough semiconductor laser technology.

HiViz LED Lighting has been developing lighting products with affordability and quality features that can be of much advantage to the fire and rescue as well as municipal markets. LED compartment light upgrade products can reinstate an older apparatus, thereby replacing the traditional incandescent compartment lights with next-generation energy efficient LED upgrade.
IRIDEX has introduced a new formulated non-invasive, MicroPulse technology-based glaucoma procedure. During the recent American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), IRIDEX launched the new tissue-sparing, repeatable glaucoma therapy known as MicroPulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (MLT).
Q-Tran has launched remote LED power supplies that can be directly buried within the ground. They serve as an excellent distribution point to power LED lighting.
Researchers from the Princeton University have conducted a study to improve the power output of solar cells. The researchers were inspired by the simple leaf structure, which is flexible and simultaneously absorbs sunlight to produce energy and nutrients for a tree.
Research and Markets has included a new research report titled ‘UV LED Market 2012’ to its catalogue. The report analyzes the UV LED market and the associated epiwafers and AlN substrates in detail.
A team led by Brown University researchers has developed an innovative prototype technology that can produce red, green and blue lasers from nanometer-sized semiconductor particles, paving the way to develop products, including high-performance digital displays that can use different laser colors simultaneously.
A team of researchers from Spain have shown that the interactions which occur between charges or magnets and a good electrical conductor can be extended to optical microcavities under external illumination.
Edmund Optics responds to growth in demand with new Singapore facility.
