which are used as surgical tools for ablation

For laser modules used in bioinstruments, the evolution to commercial clinical applications is driven by the transition from bulky, power-consuming, difficult-to-operate gas lasers to semiconductor diode lasers that are robust, small and require little energy to operate. Utilizing a patent-pending process that efficiently transforms the laser beam into a variety of shapes and distributions, StockerYale has developed a "plug and play" laser module solution that is easy to integrate into end-user systems and will increase system performance in terms of both accuracy and throughput. The company's innovative Lasiris(TM: 106.24, +3.20, +3.10%) PureBeam fiber-coupled lasers and patent pending Flat-Top(2) Generator laser beam shaping modules are enabling it to break into new markets such as spectroscopy, fluorescence, confocal microscopy, and DNA sequencing, which require laser sources with extremely high output power stabilities.

StockerYale's specialty optical fiber division is entering the medical market with fiber-based laser delivery assemblies in partnership with one of the world's leading medical equipment companies. Lasers, which are used as surgical tools for ablation, cutting and coagulation of tissue as well as a variety of minimally invasive procedures, use fiber assemblies to deliver the high power laser light from the laser to the patient.

In LED systems for the medical market, StockerYale holds unique advantages with core competencies in both chip-on-board-based LED technology and customized optics. Its advanced custom LED solutions and strong optical modeling and design skills overcome the various difficulties inherent in the engineering of LED illumination, enabling the company to develop extremely compact, high-brightness LED illumination systems for unique dental and medical applications that previously could not be realized with standard technology.

Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China

This emerging potential for green LED applications follows on the heels of an announcement of applications for blue LEDs on April 25, 2012. NGK is now poised to apply its technology to the inverters used in hybrid and electric vehicles, power amplifiers for base stations of wireless communication, and other power devices. To this end, NGK will take steps to further reduce defect density for its GaN wafers, and to produce larger wafers that are greater than 6 inches in diameter. Despite Nichia planned to enter into LED markets in China and enlarge its market share there, it has been foiled by simmering anti-Japan sentiment in China due mainly to the Diaoyutai island issue, so is considering to cooperate with Taiwanese enterprises for further development. And two Taiwanese companies, including Hon Hai Group and Epistar, will be part of the joint venture. According to senior Nichia executives and based on positive outlook towards widespread use of LED lighting, the firm focused on the amp...
