ProPhotonix, a manufacturer of LED illumination systems, laser diode modules, and a laser diode distributor, has signed an agreement with Oclaro to distribute its line of high-power lasers in North America and Europe.
Oclaro’s high power lasers complement ProPhotonix’s low power laser diodes and laser modules in established markets such as medical, defence and security, and Instrumentation. The new products will also enable ProPhotonix to address a wider set of applications including materials, processing and printing. ProPhotonix is already a major distributor of Oclaro’s visible and near-infrared laser diodes.
Commenting on the distribution agreement, Mark Blodgett, chairman and CEO of ProPhotonix, said: ‘This new product line gives our customers the opportunity to work with one vendor on their critical applications, which has significant cost and time saving implications. Adding these high powered laser products to our distribution channels extends the number of customers able to leverage those resources.’
