June 17, 2009... Oclaro, the company resulting from the merger of Bookham and Avanex, has introduced a 1064 nm variant of its New Focus high power SWL-7500 single wavelength lasers for Raman spectroscopy. According to the company, the new laser is designed for Raman spectroscopy in which longer wavelengths can help reduce the fluorescence background of the spectra. Oclaro says that the laser provides narrow linewidth and long coherence length, which are required for industrial spectroscopic applications such as quality control, chemical analysis, and security. The high power laser is enabled by the GaAs (gallium arsenide) chips manufactured at the company's facility in Zurich. Oclaro News Release
