BOZEMAN, Montana, March 18 -- ILX Lightwave and Palomar Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of automated high-precision assembly systems for broadband communications, have formed a strategic alliance to market and develop in-line automated test and assembly systems for the manufacture of active photonic devices such as pump diodes, tunable lasers and modulators. "In 2001, we introduced the industry’s only laser diode controller and power meter specifically dedicated to parametric analysis applications," said Lawrence A. Johnson, president and CEO of ILX Lightwave. "By coupling our best-in-class laser diode test products with Palomar’s industry leading assembly machines, we are able to offer turnkey test and automation tools to the photonics marketplace that, until now, was not available."
