Newsletter July 2006

  Lightspeed Technologies www.light-speed-tech.com is celebrating its first anniversary on July 1st, 2006! What differentiates Lightspeed Technologies from other companies?  From the start we have provided the highest quality products at the best prices.  This has been achieved through collaborating with companies that not only provide excellent products but are also willing to expand on product specifications to meet customer requirements. Our product lines, pricing, and excellent customer service have gained us an impressive customer base which includes some of the largest government labs, universities and commercial companies in the U.S. A partial list can be found on our contact us page.

  Lightspeed Technologies is proud to be representing the following companies:

 

Elliot Scientific Ltd (ISO9001).  Precision Alignment for optics, fibers, detectors, lasers, microscopes, and more.

  The best flexure stages, fiber launching, mini stages, precise adjusters, automated alignment systems, optical tweezers and more.  Do you need mounts, stages, lens holders, and other alignment products labeled with your facility or project engraved permanently to identify them as yours?  We can meet your demand from single units to thousands.  Special configurations such as all axes adjusted from above or mini 5 and 6 axis alignment.

 

Photon Control Inc (ISO9001).  High resolution Spectrometers for Industry Science, and Education

   Photon Control rocked the spectroscopic world this year, reducing prices of high resolution spectrometers to less than $1800 where others charge more than twice as much for similar products.  The stand alone 'Specsoft' software, provides real time analysis and data capture in intensity transmission reflectance and absorption modes, as well as extensive data logging, and history review capabilities.  For OEM applications these are ready for the challenge having been used in industries as rugged as fiber optic instrumentation for the gas & oil industry.  Also available, the lowest cost plasma monitors on the market.  Other accessories include fiber coupled light sources, reflectance or custom probes, fibers, and transmission measurement tools.

 

Mechonics AG.  Long Travel, High Resolution Piezo Stages 

  Mechonics produces what appears to be the best kept secret that we want you to know about - Precision piezo stages with 15nm partial steps and up to 48mm travel!  These have the ease of use and low pricing that are expected from products supplied by Lightspeed Technologies.  X, XY, XYZ configurations ideal for microscope applications. Remote control of optics including kinematic tilt stages and integrated packages for the smallest footprint.  Vacuum options to 10E-10 torr and cryogenic configurations too.  Remote pendant or computer control with USB.  8mm to 30mm travel approximately $1,200 per axis and around $1,200 for a 3 axes controller for open loop configurations.  Multiply these prices X ~2.5 for closed loop operation.

 

SPI Lasers Ltd (ISO9001). - CW and Pulsed Fiber Lasers

  Fiber lasers from SPI are the most cost effective, reliable, and easy to use 1090nm and 1550nm lasers available.  Output from 2-200 Watts and M^2 of less than 1.1, these lasers are ready for applications from micromachining to optical trapping or to meet the requirements you might have for high quality IR.

 

Arden Photonics Ltd. - Wavefront Sensors

  AWS-50 wavefront sensor - Wavefront sensing insensitive to vibration and with higher spatial resolution than other wavefront sensors.  Inspect optics and characterizing optical systems with the AWS-50.

 

Engineering Services

  Exceptional engineering services from making products RoHS compliant to designing and fabricating rapid prototypes and embedded systems.  We work with a first class design firm to offer customers the most cost effective, complete engineering services possible.  Contact us with your requirements for product development, program management, and system integration.

LEDs, Lamps, and Fiber Coupled light sources

Lightspeed Technologies is proud to introduce our own line of high intensity LED systems for scientific applications.  Applications include fluorescence imaging, solar simulation, solar cell testing, and optical metrology. Pulsed systems to 500ns increase optical intensity by greater than 8 times cw!

 Lightspeed Technologies is 1 year old and we are backed up by decades of engineering and customer service from our employees and our principals. Thank you all very much for your interest and business this year.  We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

 

Best regards,

Randall
