Thorlabs has entered into an exclusive agreement with Switzerland-based greenTEG for the integration and distribution of thermal sensors within the photonics market. Under the agreement, Thorlabs will develop a comprehensive OEM strategy for greenTEG’s thermal sensors, be the sole reseller in the photonics market segment, and incorporate them into its existing line of thermal power meter sensor heads.
“We are excited to incorporate greenTEG’s technologies into our power meter offering,” said Manfred Gonnert, Senior Project Leader for Thorlabs’ Power Meter Line. “The greenTEG sensors exhibit superior response over the entire spectral range from the UV to beyond 14 microns. That combined with their large active areas and thin profiles make them the sensors of choice for integration into our power meter product line.”
Dr. Wulf Glatz, CEO and co-founder of greenTEG, adds to this: “The collaboration between greenTEG and Thorlabs dates back to 2013 and has become more and more intense over the years. We are very happy to enter in an exclusive supplier and reseller agreement with a renowned partner like Thorlabs and strongly believe that this cooperation will ultimately benefit the end user by offering high-quality measurement tools”.
The mutually beneficial agreement, which takes effect July 1, 2017, will enable both companies to focus on innovation, resulting in new and improved optical power measurement capabilities.
Thorlabs, a vertically integrated photonics products manufacturer, was founded in 1989 to serve the laser and electro-optics research market. As that market has spawned a multitude of technical innovations, Thorlabs has extended its core competencies in an effort to play an ever increasing role serving the Photonics Industry at the research end, as well as the industrial, life science, medical, and defense segments.
