As you know, the Inspire^TM range of synchronously-pumped optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) were designed to empower your research using Visible, UV and IR femtosecond pulses. What you might not know however, is that we have recently released a new generation in the range, each with several exciting improvements. With our eye forever on the goal of simplifying the installation and overall usability of all our products, these most recent models include upgraded and improved electronic and software systems; faster tuning of the SHG unit; and specially engineered mechanics to increase the overall stability and reliability of the system.

Radiantis's exciting new product, the ORIA IR Optical Parametric Oscillator, has this week been featured in the 'Star Product' section of the influential industry website, optics.org. The article, entitled 'Rugged IR Femtosecond OPO for Stand-Alone Ti:sapphire Lasers', describes the IR as allowing, "significant expansion of the spectral coverage of stand-alone femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers, resulting in broad wavelength tunability with high average power in the IR."

Radiantis is extremely pleased to announce the successful formation of a strategic distribution agreement with Japanese distributor Ocean Photonics Inc. (www.oceanphotonics.com), which was concluded after a delegation from the Tokyo-based trading company visited Radiantis's offices in Barcelona this month.

Radiantis is extremely pleased to announce that it will be exhibiting at the 'Photonics West Fair' early next February in San Francisco, USA. The annual event, organized by SPIE, will be staged in the city's Moscone Centre and promises to attract 20,000 attendees and 1,300 exhibitors.
