PowerPhotonic Signs Distributor in Israel

DALGETY BAY, Scotland, & KFAR SABA, Israel, Oct. 27, 2013 — PowerPhotonic has signed a deal with Lahat Technologies Ltd. to distribute its products in Israel, the precision laser micro-optics maker announced Friday.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Scotland, PowerPhotonic provides micro-optics for diode laser and high-power laser applications, primarily for the materials processing, medical systems, optical communications and defense industries.

Lahat was founded in 1992 and has two offices: its headquarters in Kfar Saba in central Israel and another in Galilee (Teradion Industrial Zone). Lahat is ISO 9000-certified and Israeli Ministry of Defence-approved.

"I believe there is a substantial opportunity in Israel for PowerPhotonic across a wide variety of applications," said Roy McBride, PowerPhotonic managing director and co-founder. "PowerPhotonic's innovative micro-optics products are well suited for the Israeli market due to the ability to create a wide range of different solutions for applications from lasers to telecoms."

Lahat VP David Poleg said PowerPhotonic's products will help Lahat to "stay the leader in optics and electro-optics in Israel."

Glossary

diode: A two-electrode device with an anode and a cathode that passes current in only one direction. It may be designed as an electron tube or as a semiconductor device.
electro-optics: 1. The branch of physics that deals with the use of electrical energy to create or manipulate light waves, generally by changing the refractive index of a light-propagating material; 2. Collectively, the devices used to affect the intersection of electrical energy and light. Compare with optoelectronics.
micro-optics: Micro-optics refers to the design, fabrication, and application of optical components and systems at a microscale level. These components are miniaturized optical elements that manipulate light at a microscopic level, providing functionalities such as focusing, collimating, splitting, and shaping light beams. Micro-optics play a crucial role in various fields, including telecommunications, imaging systems, medical devices, sensors, and consumer electronics. micro-optics suppliers → Key...
optical communications: Optical communications is a branch of photonics concerned with transmitting information using light as the carrier signal. In these systems, data is generated, modulated, transmitted, and detected through guided or unguided media such as optical fibers or free space. Light sources such as lasers or LEDs, along with optical amplifiers, modulators, and photodetectors, form the core components of these systems. Optical communication networks form the foundation of modern high-speed data...
