Recently Published Scientific Paper in Prestigious Trade Journal
Discusses Industry Leading Performance and Benefits of QPC’s
Patented High Performance Chip-Based Laser Technology
SYLMAR, Calif.–(EMWNews)–QPC Lasers, Inc. (OTCBB: QPCI) “QPC,”
a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-brightness,
high-power semiconductor chip-based lasers for the consumer electronics,
industrial, defense, and medical markets, today announced the company’s
technical marketing team recently published a technical paper in the
prestigious laser industry trade magazine Laser+Photonics. Dr.
Paul Rudy, Dr. Tom Steele and Dr. Laurent Vaissié
(see bios below) collaborated on the technical paper entitled “More
Efficient and Less Complex” which discusses
recent breakthroughs in QPC’s semiconductor
laser technology which have improved the compactness, efficiency, power
and beam quality on lasers while simultaneously reducing the waste heat
and complexity of the system, thus reducing cost. The article was
published in both English and German and both are available for review
on the company’s website at www.qpclasers.com
under Recent Articles.
The article describes the industry leading performance and benefits of
QPC’s unique and proprietary high performance
chip-based laser technology which is protected by 16 patents (9 issued,
7 pending). Proprietary processes and numerous trade secrets underlie
the company’s optoelectronic technologies and
enable the extraordinary ability to generate up to a 10x reduction in
size, weight, power consumption and cost compared to conventional laser
technology available on the market today.
“QPC’s next
generation technology arms our customers with a number of key
competitive advantages, and we are pleased to announce this esteemed
recent publication which describes these in detail,”
said President and CEO Dr. Jeffrey Ungar. “With
over one hundred customers in more than 20 countries around the globe,
we will continue our technical marketing activities to drive our
worldwide growth in our target markets – consumer electronics, defense,
medical and industrial.”
