January 2001, We are Twenty!

Thermo Laser Science proudly announces 2001 is the twentieth anniversary of our business. Dr. Ali Javan, inventor of the gas phase laser, founded Laser Science, Inc. in 1981 to provide large laser systems to governments around the world. As Star Wars waned, MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight) mass spectrometry waxed and our business shifted to providing OEM lasers to instrument manufacturers. Today on the threshold of an explosive growth in proteomic research, our laser business looks brighter than ever. Please join us in celebrating 20 years of laser light!

October 2000, Our New Name is Thermo Laser Science

We want to tell you about some changes here. As you may know, Laser Science, Inc. became part of the Thermo Electron Corporation (NYSE: TMO) group of companies in 1997. Earlier this year management decided to focus solely on the core business: instrumentation and related components (including lasers). Businesses outside this core are being sold creating a $2.2 billion company with a clear market focus and stronger opportunities for growth. Our logo is transforming too. You will begin to see this new identity reflected in our printed materials and advertisements and on our products and Web site. But, we are the same people providing you with the same quality products and attention to service.

February 2000, Laser Science, Inc. Announces New Hyrax Fiber Optic Coupler

We haven’t been very happy with the way optical fibers are coupled to lasers, so we designed an adapter from scratch. Our new Hyrax Fiber Optic Coupler has two major advantages:

1.)   It is simple and fast to align the fiber.         

2.)   Care was taken to minimize the chance of damage to the fiber.

The Hyrax is designed to accept output from our 337-Si OEM and VSL-337ND-S nitrogen lasers as well as our dye lasers in the range from 360 to 950 nm with a fused silica fiber. We anticipate the new Hyrax Fiber Optic Coupler will be particularly helpful to our OEM customers as well as customers who interface our lasers to microscopes and other remote experiments. To obtain more information, use our Contact Us form or phone Diana Ferreira at 888.888.8888.

January 2000, 337-Si OEM Nitrogen Laser Introduced at Photonics West

Laser Science, Inc. proudly announces our latest OEM nitrogen laser, the 337-Si. This laser is a spin-off from our development of a space hardened laser. It incorporates the excellent beam quality and Optosync features of our top-of-the-line VSL-337ND-S nitrogen laser in a small, rugged package. For more details on our newest OEM laser, click on the 337-Si OEM Nitrogen Laser Web page.

November 1999, Reward Program

Laser Science, Inc. is instituting a Reward Program for our users who publish papers mentioning our products. We are collecting papers to include in a bibliography, which will be of interest to both current and potential users. For details, go to our Reward Program Web page.

September 1999, New µ-TEA CO2 Laser Wavelength

We have continued development and improved performance on our µ-TEA CO2 laser. The laser was originally introduced at 10.6 µm in the infrared. At the request of a customer, we have built µ-TEA CO2 lasers at 9.6 µm. For details on the improved and expanded performance of these compact, sealed CO2 lasers, go to our µ-TEA CO2 Laser Web page. In addition, lasers at 9.3 µm and 10.3 µm are available upon request.

May 1999, New Dye Lasers

Laser Science, Inc. introduces six new dye lasers. Optically pumping a dye in a dye laser with one of the company's pulsed nitrogen lasers produces pulsed visible laser light. The DUO Series dye lasers couple with our high power, flexible VSL-337ND-S nitrogen laser and the DYE Series dye lasers with our ultra-compact, economical VSL-337 nitrogen laser. Researchers gain easy and inexpensive access to laser output from 360 nm in the visible to 950 nm in the near-IR by simply changing dye cuvettes.

The new DUO dye lasers have dual beam exit ports for dye and nitrogen laser output. By means of a six-position selector wheel, the researcher can choose dye laser output, reflect out the unaltered nitrogen beam at 337 nm, or insert a beamsplitter for simultaneous visible and UV output. Additional wheel positions can hold neutral density filters or other optical components for flexible experimental set-ups.

For more detailed information, go to our Dye Lasers Web page.

March 1999, Making it Easy for You

Laser Science, Inc. now accepts  and  credit cards. Our customers have told us this would be easier and often less expensive than going through processing a formal purchase order. So, when you phone in your order, please have your credit card number and expiration date ready. We would like to hear about other things that we could do to improve our products, service, and the way we interact with you. Phone us at (508) 553-2353; fax us at 888.888.8889; or email us at .
