ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- LightPath Technologies Inc., (Nasdaq: LPTH) a leading value added supplier of optical components to the telecom market, announces the introduction of its Oasis(TM) product line of surface mount, monolithic asphere/isolator assemblies for use in fiber optic transceivers. Oasis(TM) provides a compact solution for maintaining optical isolation and coupling the laser diode to fiber. Oasis(TM) gives users a small form factor solution in both single and multi channel laser diode modules. Horizon Photonics Inc. and Geltech Inc., both wholly owned subsidiaries of LightPath Technologies, Inc., combine their optical expertise for superior performance in the design of both isolators and aspheric optics with automated manufacturing for volume production and lower cost. Oasis(TM) provides a complete solution from custom designs and quick prototyping to volume production. "Oasis offers a very simple means of isolating and coupling laser diodes. We have taken Horizon Photonic's surface mount compatible isolators and incorporated Geltech's aspheres to provide a fully integrated solution, requiring only one part to be purchased, stocked, assembled and aligned. This is one of many new products we will introduce from our growing product offering of LightPath components," stated Bob Cullen, Executive Vice President, LightPath Technologies Inc. In a separate release:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- LightPath Technologies Inc., (Nasdaq: LPTH) a leading value added supplier of optical components to the telecom market, announces the introduction of its VECTRA(TM) product line of precision pointing collimators for use in switching applications and other applications that require tight pointing tolerances. Built on LightPath Technologies' highly reliable fiber fusion technology, the VECTRA(TM) collimators have maximum pointing error of 0.2 degrees, with a typical of 0.1 degree and are available in a variety of standard beam diameters and working distances. LightPath's patented fiber fusion technology produces a robust, monolithic silica collimator that eliminates both the air gap and adhesive from the optical path. "We are excited to extend our collimator product offerings to include the VECTRA(TM) collimator product line. VECTRA(TM) collimators provide superior pointing performance and reduce the time to find first light as much as 95%, resulting in alignment and assembly labor reductions for our customers," stated Jeanne Edwards, Vice President of Product Management, LightPath Technologies Inc. LightPath Technologies Inc. will be exhibiting at OFC 2002, in Anaheim, California from March 19 through 21. Visit Booth #6157 for more details. LightPath Technologies Inc.
