QPC Lasers to Showcase Next Generation Products at Photonics West

Wednesday January 16, 2:50 pm ET

Company to Exhibit New Ultra(TM) Product Line, Demonstrate Visible Laser Technology, and Present Technical Paper Describing World Record Power and Brightness From BrghtLase(R) Semiconductor Lasers

SYLMAR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QPC Lasers, Inc. (OTC BB: QPCI.OB) ?QPC,? a world leader in the design and manufacture of high brightness, high power semiconductor lasers for the consumer, industrial, defense, and medical markets, today announced that it will showcase its next generation products and technologies at the SPIE Photonics West Conference and at the Biomedical Optics (BIOS) Exhibition on January 19-24th in San Jose, CA.

The Photonics West and BIOS conferences are North America?s largest annual photonics conferences featuring the latest innovations in optics, lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronic components, and imaging technologies.

The QPC exhibits will feature several Ultra? laser configurations including a 120 Watt eye-safe wavelength model for medical and defense applications, and a 425 Watt near infrared model for fiber amplifier pumping and direct industrial applications. Additionally, the company will exhibit its industry leading BrightLase? single mode lasers and demonstrate its visible laser technology which is being customized for next generation laser displays for the consumer electronics market.

QPC will present two talks during the week. On the first day of the Photonics West Exhibit, the company will formally introduce the Ultra-500?. The Company announced the product last month and recently won multiple orders and shipped initial units to customers. The Ultra-500? features industry leading brightness, optional?BrightLock??on-chip wavelength stabilization, and power up to 425 watts output. Standard wavelengths?range from 792 to 1532 nm, and fiber core sizes are available from?100 to 800 micron.

The next day, the company will present a technology paper in the technical session describing world record power and brightness from BrightLase? high power eye-safe wavelength lasers for medical, industrial, and defense applications. Additionally, world record power will be presented from BrightLase? single mode lasers at near infrared wavelengths which have been directly frequency doubled to produce visible laser light for consumer electronics display applications. Finally, the company will present world record results from BrightLock? on-chip internal grating technology that achieve high power operation with high spectral brightness and stability at wavelengths from the near infrared to the eye-safe regime.

The events schedule for the week follows:

On Saturday, January 19th, and Sunday, January 20th, QPC will exhibit at the BIOS show in Booth #8006 in the Main Hall of the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.

From Tuesday, January 22nd, to Thursday, the 24th, QPC will exhibit at Photonics West in Booth #5037, located at the top of the primary entry stairs at the main entrance of the Main Exhibit Hall of the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.

On Tuesday, January 22nd, the company will formally introduce the Ultra? product line at a 10:30 a.m. in Demo Area 1 of the Main Exhibit Hall 1 of the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.

On Wednesday, January 23rd, the company will present a technical paper entitled ?Advances in high-brightness semiconductor lasers? at?8:20?a.m. at the LASE Conference 6876,?Session?8 in the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA.
