(PRWEB) November 30, 2004 -- Ahura Corporation, a manufacturer of miniature optical subsystems for homeland security, life sciences and industrial applications announced details on a line of miniature high performance lasers for Raman Spectroscopy. Three miniature external cavity lasers were announced today.    All three emphasize high wavelength and power stability, high efficiency and small footprint.

- ECL-LSS-785-325 -- This UL qualified multimode laser is in mass production and features up to 400mW of output power. The power is user adjustable. The laser is internally cooled by a TEC to assure stability. The unit features an FC connector for easy fiber coupling of the output light. The low power consumption and small footprint make it ideal for portable applications.
- ECL-LSS-0.03-785-350 is a higher resolution version of the above laser with a typical FWHM line width of 0.03nm.
- ECL-LSS 0.03 785-100 SM is a high power single transverse mode laser featuring 100 mW of SM power, ideal for Raman microscopy

Ahura is selling lasers to a number of customers and was selected above other laser manufacturers for their ability to reliably manufacture high performance lasers in a small, low power consumption subsystem.

Ahuras founders have decades of experience meeting the quality and reliability standards of telecommunications networks. All components are precisely manufactured and rigorously tested to assure reliability in the field. Samples are available from inventory and production quantities are deliverable in less than 6 weeks.

Ahura occupies a 30,000 square foot development and manufacturing facility in Wilmington, MA. The start-up is developing portable sensor technology based on their patented 'Optical Engines.

Ahuras approach is fundamentally different from other companies in the optical subsystems field" said CEO Dr. Daryoosh Vakhshoori. Our 'optical engine technology enables miniature high performance optical systems for a number of industries. We are confident that low cost, real-time, portable instruments will revolutionize data collection in the field as well as on the factory floor. Optical engines are the 'microprocessors that enable this revolution. We will continue to push the technological envelop on product performance while moving quickly to transition novel designs into production."

Ahura Corporation has developed breakthrough technology in ultra-compact optical systems and is leading the realization of portable optical solutions for homeland security, life sciences, industrial, and communications markets. Ahura's "optical engine" technology offers superior performance at disruptive prices, fundamentally expanding the market. The company is collaborating with OEM customers and government agencies on medical, industrial and security applications. More information about Ahura Corporation is available on our website.
