Holochip Receives Phast / Laser Focus World Innovation Award
San Jose, May 2008. The Photonic Applications, Systems and Technologies (PhAST) Conference and Laser Focus World magazine are pleased to announce that Holochip Corporation (Albuquerque, NM) has been selected as an Honorable Mention recipient of this year’s PhAST/Laser Focus World Innovation Award. The award recognizes the company for its innovation in the optics field, having created the APL-1050 adaptive polymer lens. The APL-1050 is a variable-focal length singlet lens that takes the place of boxes of fixed-focal-length lenses, speeding prototyping for researchers.
Each year the Innovation Award judging committee looks at a number of submissions of new products and technologies, trying to identify those that clearly stand out among the others as the most “innovative.” While many products are simply improvements to existing product lines and technologies, and many more are surrounded in the industry by competitive designs that address the same application space, the truly innovative products are those with a strong patent position that uniquely address a specific application or market and make an immediate difference in the lives of researchers and everyday people.
Now in its third year, The PhAST/Laser Focus World Innovation Award is sponsored by Laser Focus World magazine and PhAST. The PhAST conference is collocated with the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) and the Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference (QELS), two of the photonic industry's leading conferences covering basic and applied research breakthroughs.
