StockerYale Introduces the Lasiris(TM) PureBeam Fiber-Coupled Laser.

StockerYale's largest R&D initiative over the last three years is expected to significantly impact laser revenues due to new medical and biomedical applications

SALEM, N.H. -- StockerYale, Inc. (NASDAQ: STKR), a leading independent designer and manufacturer of structured light lasers, LED modules, specialty optical fibers for industry leading OEMs and other photonics-based products, today announced the introduction of the Lasiris[TM] PureBeam laser, a revolutionary fiber-coupled diode laser with wavelength offerings from violet to near infrared.

Manufactured in StockerYale's Class 100 clean room environment, the PureBeam laser is a temperature-stabilized device with integrated drive electronics and laser-welded mechanical components. The product delivers exceptional coupling stability via a single-mode optical fiber system that is supplied by StockerYale's specialty fiber division for many of the PureBeam laser models. In addition, the unit's thermoelectric cooler helps to maintain a constant laser diode temperature, resulting in excellent wavelength and output power stabilities, as well as a long lifetime.

StockerYale will debut the PureBeam fiber-coupled laser at the Biomedical Optics and the Photonics West exhibitions in San Jose, CA, from January 20-25. Additionally, the Company will showcase this novel fiber-coupled laser at other various medical, biomedical and industrial trade show exhibitions in 2007.

"The PureBeam laser will enable StockerYale to break into new markets such as spectroscopy, fluorescence, confocal microscopy, and DNA sequencing, which require laser sources with extremely high output power stabilities," said Nicolas Cadieux, VP of Sales for StockerYale's Illumination group. "In addition to those new medical and biomedical applications, the PureBeam laser will also be an attractive technology for traditional industrial applications, such as machine vision and industrial inspection, where StockerYale is well known and has an established client base," Mr. Cadieux added.

StockerYale's expertise in optical lens design and modeling enables the Company to provide a real competitive advantage to its laser technology platform. In addition to projecting complex structured light patterns, the PureBeam laser is also compatible with StockerYale's new refractive optic beam shaping technology, the patent pending Flat-Top2 Generator.

"The PureBeam laser represents the Company's most significant R&D initiative over the last three years and its introduction will allow StockerYale to enter a wide range of untapped industries and applications," said Mark W. Blodgett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "For the first time ever, we expect to generate significant laser sales in the medical and biomedical industries, which represent larger, faster growing markets for lasers than traditional industrial audiences," added Blodgett.
