Photonic Products Group Inc., a Northvale, N.J.-based manufacturer of products for the photonics industry, announced today that Luke P. La Valle Jr. has been appointed to its board of directors. La Valle is president and CEO of American Capital Management Inc., an investment portfolio management services firm he founded in 1980. . . . Semicoa of Costa Mesa, Calif., a manufacturer of silicon photodiodes used in medical imaging, homeland security and military aerospace applications, announced the promotion of Bernd Tabbert to director of engineering. The company says Tabbert will be responsible for expanding its emerging optoelectronics technology and managing the design efforts for high-reliability silicon bipolar transistors. Prior to joining Semicoa two years ago, Tabbert was a laser test engineer for Silicon Valley-based startup telecom company Gemfire Corp.    . . .    Optical Metrology Innovations, a manufacturer of photoreflectance spectrometers for front-end silicon and compound semiconductor metrology with headquarters in Cork, Ireland, has appointed Bill Flecky as vice president of sales for North America. Flecky was previously CEO of Bede Scientific's US subsidiary.    . . .    Lausanne, Switzerland-based Synova, a maker of water-jet guided laser technology for the semiconductor, electronics, flat panel display and industrial micromachining industries, announced it has received an order for its laser dicing system (LDS) 300 from a California-based semiconductor company, marking the first time the LDS 300 will be deployed for low-k wafer laser dicing. The tool is slated for installation at the customer's fab in Malaysia later this fall.

Glossary
metrology
Metrology is the science and practice of measurement. It encompasses the theoretical and practical aspects of measurement, including the development of measurement standards, techniques, and instruments, as well as the application of measurement principles in various fields. The primary objectives of metrology are to ensure accuracy, reliability, and consistency in measurements and to establish traceability to recognized standards. Metrology plays a crucial role in science, industry,...
optoelectronics
Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
photodiode
A two-electrode, radiation-sensitive junction formed in a semiconductor material in which the reverse current varies with illumination. Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical power and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power. See avalanche photodiode; PIN photodiode.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
