Prestigious award from the Institute of Physics
Gooch & Housego PLC, the specialist manufacturer of optical
components and systems, announces that it is one of just four
companies to receive the prestigious Innovation Award 2014 from the
Institute of Physics. The award acknowledges Gooch & Housego's
Fibre-Q product line which gives customers greater versatility in
the use of lasers.
Lasers are becoming ubiquitous in a wide range of applications
today, from manufacturing smart phones to highly sensitive sensing
applications. Gooch & Housego's Fibre-Q acousto-optic solution
allows the rapid electronic control of the optical properties of a
laser beam, enabling precise changes in laser amplitude, frequency
and wavelength that are required for a wide variety of applications
such as material processing, optical sensing and imaging.
Dr Frances Saunders, President of the Institute of Physics,
commented:
"Despite being thought useless when discovered more than 50
years ago, businesses are still finding uses for lasers in the
widest range of industries. Gooch & Housego are a wonderful
example of a company that is driving technology forward to help
other companies exploit a founding innovation, while creating jobs
and making a very healthy return for themselves."
Dr Andrew Robertson, Gooch & Housego's Senior Vice President
- Systems Technology Group, commented:
"For Gooch & Housego, winning this award provides
recognition that by using our expertise in the field of photonics
and detailed understanding of optical material characteristics, we
can develop an innovative product with a great technical
competitive advantage that precisely serves the needs of our
customers in a wide variety of applications."
