| Universal Controllers |
 CVI Melles Griot introduces Universal Controllers to run your choice of DPSS or diode lasers from 405nm to 660nm in cw or modulation mode where appropriate. A common format and command set simplifies integration. CDRH/CE turn key and OEM versions are available. |
| All-Digital Scan Head Components |
 The market leader in closed-loop, galvanometer based optical scanning components and controllers for applications including laser marking, engraving, drilling, machining, welding, biomedical, ophthalmology, DNA, confocal and OCT microscopy, laser projection. Our ALL-DIGITAL products break through yesterday’s performance barriers. |
| Medical Laser Power |
 The OEM series from Lambda's ALE systems group, are compact HV capacitor charging supplies used in a broad range of medical laser applications. Available in output power levels up to 2 kJ/s, and voltages to 40 kV, featuring IEC601-1 medical safety certification. |
| PC Controlled Optical Polisher |
 Scepter (TM) is PC controlled for Telcordia-compliant connector and bare fiber polishing. It features integrated air polishing routines, and independently suspended / optically aligned workholders. Fixtures are available for industry standard, Mil-spec and custom components. In-line video inspection is also available. |
| Lower Cost Blue/Violet Offerings! |
 Our high power blue/violet laser diodes are now being offered for integration with our PM module, 405nm 60mW, making high-power technology affordable for cost-sensitive applications requiring high quality blue/violet output. Visit Booth 521 for more information! |

| Repair Damaged Optical Connectors |
 Repair scratched and damaged optical connectors and fibers with the Rev™ Polisher. Whether damaged by high power lasers, repeated matings, or general handling, Rev processes components to their original surface finish and geometry in as quickly as 15 seconds. |
| Technical Consulting in Photonics |
 Dr. Paschotta of RP Photonics Consulting is a top expert in laser technology, nonlinear optics, and fiber optics. Engage him to support your development projects! See him at a short course, or prearrange a meeting at Photonics West. |
| Rapid Coatings |
 CVI Melles Griot is offering coated optic turn-around times of two weeks or better. Orders received in our Albuquerque facility can be shipped within 2 weeks. These rapid turnaround times apply to our high laser damage threshold, high reflection and anti-reflection coatings from 193 to 2300nm. |
| Visible and Infrared Absorbers |
 Exciton's new absorber dyes can provide selective or broadband light filtering throughout the visible and near infrared. Absorbers with relatively narrow absorption bands, such as those shown in the graph, filter out IR light with low visible color even at high optical densities. |
| Enhance Performance, Lower Costs |
 The 6400 and 6800 are the latest evolution in Diamond Wire Technology’s RTD series saws. These saws combine diamond wire and tangential cutting to provide cutting edge wafering solutions with superior cost savings, high performance and reliability. |

While you're there
Make sure you register for SPIE’s BiOS conference for news on the latest applications and research in biomedical optics and life sciences. The conference runs from Jan. 19-24 alongside Photonics West 2008, and the exhibition is open on Sat. and Sun., Jan. 19-20.
Topics include:
- » Progress in Therapeutic Lasers;
- » Imaging and Treatment of Cancer using Gold Nanoparticles;
- » Monitoring and Predicting Chemotherapy Using Diffuse Optics;
- » Probing Pancreatic Disease Using Tissue Optical Spectroscopy;
- » Multidimensional Fluorescence Imaging.
On Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 1:30 p.m. there will be a free Photonics West Executive Panel Session for exhibitors, exhibition visitors and technical conference attendees. Moderated by Steve Eglash, president and CEO of Cyrium Technologies, the panel will feature a lively discussion among top executives who have global perspective and knowledge of the trends changing the photonics market.
For more information on BiOS and Photonics West, visit SPIE’s website, www.spie.org/pw. Photonics.com is a sponsor of the conference and exhibition.
Stop by our booth
Don’t forget to visit Laurin Publishing Company’s Photonics.com and the Photonics Directories at Booth 440 for Photonics West and Booth 8440 for BiOS. Nifty giveaways and the opportunity to enter a daily drawing to win an iPod nano.
Time out for the wineries
In and near San Jose you’ll find wineries that are well worth the visit. Mirassou Winery and The Bargetto Winery. Also the Ridge Vineyards in Cupertino and Savanah Chanelle Vineyards, the latter known for its pinot noir in small batches.
