Ultra-Narrow Linewidth Ti:Sapphire Laser Annouced
September 19, 2007
Zecotek Introduces a New Compact, Ultra-Narrow Linewidth Ti: Sapphire Laser for High-Precision Applications
Vancouver, September 19, 2007 - Zecotek Medical Systems Inc. (TSX-V: ZMS; “Our new ring Ti:Sapphire laser combines excellent reliability and the best available radiation frequency stability, with a traditional super-wide tunable range ”, said Dr. A. F. Zerrouk, Chairman, President, and CEO of Zecotek . “The TIS-SF-787 model also allows for key operational regimes to be activated in hands-free mode, therefore considerably improving the user experience and making possible the automation of tuning procedures and smooth frequency scanning.” Existing Ti:Sapphire lasers are limited to a laser line width of 50-100 kHz. Zecotek’s TIS-SF-787 laser has an ultra-narrow linewidth at less than 10kHz, expanding the market for new applications in fundamental research (atomic cooling, atomic trapping and quantum manipulation, optical pumping), contemporary cutting-edge technologies (atomic lithography, optical metrology, high-density data recording) as well as microelectronic/ nanofabrication technologies including state-of-the-art atom-optical techniques, such as direct-write atom lithography for the production of enhanced nanostructures and unique atomic patterns. The TIS-SF-787 laser also features an exceptional wavelength range, from 690 to 1000 nm, which can be expanded into the short-wavelength 345–500 nm domain using Zecotek’s existing resonant frequency doubler. In this configuration the radiation line width remains less than 10 kHz for the fundamental radiation and less 20 kHz for the second-harmonic radiation.
The company is currently taking orders for shipment to customers for January 2008. The TIS-SF-787 model will be manufactured for Zecotek under contract with its associate company, Tekhnoscan Lasers of Novosibirsk, Russia, and distributed under the Zecotek trademark through Zecotek Laser Systems Pte Ltd., the company’s wholly owned subsidiary. The company anticipates that with its improved performance and cost parameters, the TIS-SF-787 model has the potential to capture significant market share of the growing demand for Ti:Sapphire lasers in the biotechnology, superconductivity and nanotechnology industries. – 30 – About Zecotek This press release may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions.
