Microsaic’s scanner technology is smaller and tougher than mirror based laser scanners. Microsaic’s technology integrates optics with robust cantilevers to produce a tough laser scanner on a silicon chip that is extremely thin and flexible, and highly suitable for non-invasive applications:

-• Endoscopy
-• Inspection of bearings, gas-turbines and jet engines

Widely tuneable lasers are essential elements of DWDM and wavelength-routed optical systems. Microsaic has developed a tuneable laser prototype in collaboration with Marconi Communications. This miniature tuneable external cavity laser diode is constructed to act as an agile frequency source in dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) optical telecommunications systems.

Microsaic’s tuneable laser offers a reduction in size and cost, combined with an improvement in stability and reliability.
