Quintessence Photonics Corporation Releases BrightLase(TM) Semiconductor Laser Modules: Announces Shipments into Medical Applications.SYLMAR, Calif. -- Quintessence quin·tes·sence n. 1. The pure, highly concentrated essence of a thing. 2. The purest or most typical instance: the quintessence of evil. 3. Photonics Corporation, subsidiary of QPC QPC Quantum Point Contact QPC Quarter Pounder with cheese (McDonalds sandwich burger) QPC Quasi Propulsive Coefficient QPC Queen Pump Company QPC Quasi-periodic Photonic Crystal QPC Quality and Process Control Lasers, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :QPCI), announced today the release of BrightLase(TM) Semiconductor Laser Modules and their shipment to customers into medical applications. "QPC has shipped lower-power products to our customers in the medical market for several years. We are pleased to announce the shipment and successful customer acceptance of our next generation BrightLase(TM) modules at several application-specific wavelengths," stated Paul Rudy, Ph.D., Vice President of Marketing and Sales for QPC. The laser component of the medical equipment market is estimated to be more than $400 million and is served today with traditional gas, diode, solid-state and fiber laser technology. QPC's BrightLase(TM) Semiconductor Laser Modules are designed to offer a direct semiconductor laser solution with several compelling advantages over traditional laser technology including reduced size, lower system costs, and high power delivered in narrow core diameter Core Diameter can be defined as in the cross section of a realizable optical fiber, ideally circular, but assumed to a first approximation to be elliptical, the average of the diameters of the smallest circle that can be circumscribed about the core-cladding boundary, and the fibers at application-specific wavelengths in the near-infrared and eye-safe range. The addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be medical applications include ophthalmology, dermatology including hair removal, dentistry, varicose vein varicose vein, superficial vessel that is abnormally lengthened, twisted, or dilated, seen most often on the legs and thighs. Varicose veins develop spontaneously, and are usually attributed to a hereditary weakness of the vein; the valves in the vein that keep the treatment, and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. of lung and brain tissue. QPC's high-brightness laser modules utilize BrightLase(TM), a proprietary advanced semiconductor laser technology that uniquely delivers a high-brightness laser beam from a compact, conduction-cooled, rugged source. BrightLase(TM) Semiconductor Laser Modules deliver up to 35 Watts and are available at wavelengths including 795nm, 808nm, 976nm, 1064nm, and 1380nm, with additional wavelengths in development. The modules are available in a fiber-coupled configuration with fiber diameters as small as 200 micron or without a fiber such that the laser beam is delivered in a collimated In a straight line. Collimated light beams are parallel rays of light. output through an exit window of the sealed module. The laser modules can be used directly or as engines for pumping multi-stage fiber and solid-state systems.
