January 23,2012. Higher power Sprout lasers target power-hungry applications.
New 15 Watt and 12 Watt versions of the Sprout laser are aimed at expanding scientific
markets such as high power CW and mode-locked Ti:Sapphire oscillators, and high repetition
rate CW-pumped Ti:Sapphire amplifiers. The tremendous success of the lower power Sprout
lasers, especially the 10 Watt version, helped spur the development of these new products. Dr
John MacKay, CEO of Lighthouse Photonics, commented "Our customers are already seeing the
same excellent performance with these new pump lasers. They produce the same high beam
quality, wavelength purity and low noise as the 5-10 Watt versions. All at a price point and low
cost of ownership that is extremely attractive." » More
December 1, 2011. Service-via-Internet saves customers time and money.
New Service-via-Internet choice is a free service for all products. Dr John MacKay, CEO of Lighthouse Photonics, commented “Remote diagnosis of customer units via internet connection is a benefit for everyone - the customer does not need to pay and then wait for a service visit - we can quickly access the customer's unit and diagnose any issue. This helps keep our efficiency high and our costs low. It's a win-win solution for the customer and us.” » More
