Advanced Photonix, Inc. Announces New Distributor Agreement.CAMARILLO, Calif. -- Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange :API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. ), a leading supplier of innovative, silicon-based optoelectronic Refers to devices that function due to the interaction of light and electronics. For example, an electronic signal is the input to a laser diode, which generates light pulses that are transmitted through an optical fiber. products to a worldwide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customer base, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Laser Components GmbH in Olching, Germany, to act as API's exclusive sales distributor in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In making the announcement, Mark Nicklas, Director of Worldwide Sales for API, stated, "In establishing a relationship with a strong sales partner like Laser Components, we are continuing our strategic direction to increase our international business. We have seen significant growth in our international sales this year and we view this alliance as a strengthening of that trend." "Laser Components is pleased to be teaming with API in growing sales in Europe. We recognize API's unique ability to provide quality custom opto-electronic solutions to our customers and we look forward to adding that capability to our extensive product portfolio," said Patrick Paul, Vice President of Laser Components. Advanced Photonix, Inc. is a high technology company engaged in the development and manufacture of custom optoelectronic solutions, serving a variety of global Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) markets. While the Company specializes in silicon-based custom photodiode A light sensor (photodetector) that allows current to flow in one direction from one side to the other when it absorbs photons (light). The more light, the more the current. Used to detect light pulses in optical fibers and other light-sensitive applications, it works the opposite of a assemblies, its product families range from custom light detection assemblies, including its patented Avalanche Photodiode Avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are photodetectors that can be regarded as the semiconductor analog to photomultipliers. By applying a high reverse bias voltage (typically 100-200 V in silicon), APDs show an internal current gain effect (around 100) due to impact ionization (avalanche technology, to light emitting diode See LED. (LED) assemblies. The Company supports the customer from the initial concept and design phase of the product, through to full-scale production and test.
